Absolute Ice Bar - CPH


On Friday, Feb. 13th, yes Friday the 13th... ooo... Anyway, Linda, Barrett, and I went to the Absolute Ice Bar in Copenhagen. It is very popular so you have to make reservations. Ours were at 11 pm.

Instead of waiting until then we decided to go out for dinner first. We just walked around until we found something that looked interesting. We found a Turkish buffet. We decided to give it a try and it was delicious! I'm not entirely sure what anything was but I know I liked it and would definitely eat Turkish food again.

After dinner we went to find the Ice Bar, just to make sure we made it there on time. It turns out the it is just a block or two from Radhuspladsen, the main square, which was really close to us so we were there too early. Fortunately, there was an Australian bar down the block where we hung out for an hour, keeping warm before the ice bar.

At 11 we went to the Ice Bar, paid our entrance fee of 150 kr and got suited up in our fabulous parkas. These are very necessary because the Ice Bar is kept at a constant temperature of -5 degrees Celsius. Because of this you are only allowed to stay there for about 20 minutes.

Your entrance fee includes one drink from the bar, which are all made with Absolute vodka. These drinks are served on a bar made of ice, in glasses made of ice.


Even the walls are made of ice! (This is actually an ice room, within an actual building, just to clear up any confusion. Copenhagen is cold, but not that cold.) The Ice Bar is almost like being inside a big refrigerator, but way cooler and way more fun!
