Definitely worth a visit. 3 free drinks included with admission of €24.50. You are given 3 token coins ... 1 drink is a cocktail in the lounge area, 2 are for the ice bar where you can take Heineken or soft drinks. And also vodka shots. All drinks served in glasses made from ice. Ice bar was -20C and coat/gloves are provided! Bit of roleplay and the host/barman was very friendly and humorous! I would give 6 stars if I could 🌟

We went here for the experience . It was really fun! We actually went on NYE, so it was extremely crowded, unfortunately.  But made the best of it. Lol. The ice bar itself is smaller than we expected.   But really cool. You get one complimentary drink in the reception bar, then two in ice glasses in the ice bar. I have to say, our guide, and bartender made this experience even more memorable. Didn't catch his name, but he was awesome!! The three free drinks in this experience made it a great deal. Wear a warm coat and gloves ❄️❄️❄️

This was a "Will we?/Won't we?" experience while in Amsterdam but we had some time to kill so decided why not? And I'm so glad we did! Donny was our host and he was fantastic during the initial description of what we would experience. The Ice Bar, itself, was small but aesthetically pleasing and the drinks and music were really good!

Great experience! They provide extra coats and gloves.. Trust me you will need it! I believe they also have food, but we just went there for the bar experience. We waited for our timeslot and enjoyed a drink that is included with the ticket. You have 20 minutes to be inside the ice bar, and you get an option of having beer or shots. The glasses were made out of ice so make sure you grab the tallest glass. Otherwise you would not get enough beer if you choose a shot glass.

Was a good experience, a little expensive but obviously a tourist place.
1 drink in the main bar while you wait, large beer or large cocktail then 2 smaller drinks when you are in the ice part. Had sambuca, was decent enough. In a glass made of ice.
They say 20 mins in the ice part, i thought this was a little a short but once you are in there at minus 10, its more than enough!
People serviing were friendly enough and provided some small entertainment.

Worth a go if your in Amstedam. Think it was 30 euros each.
We wanted to do canal cruise as a package deal but left it too late.

Beware, it is very, very cold in the ice part!
They do provide a coat and glives if you dont have them, these are essential.
Take a hat too maybe.
