Nestled along the picturesque Amstel River in the heart of Amsterdam, the Xtracold Icebar offers a truly unique experience that combines the thrill of a bar with the chill of an ice museum. Imagine stepping into a world where everything—from the walls to the glasses—is crafted from ice, creating an enchanting atmosphere that feels like stepping into a winter wonderland. At a brisk -10°C, guests are provided with thermal coats and gloves, ensuring comfort as they sip on creatively concocted drinks served in frosty ice glasses. This is not just a bar; it’s an adventure that promises unforgettable memories.

 The experience begins in a cozy lounge area where guests can enjoy their first drink—a delightful cocktail that sets the tone for the adventure ahead. Afterward, it's time to brave the ice bar itself, where the atmosphere is both exhilarating and surreal.

At Xtracold Icebar, the drinks are as much a part of the experience as the icy surroundings. Guests can choose from a selection of beverages, including the signature Heineken served in ice glasses, or opt for a vodka shot that adds a kick to the chill. One standout drink is the "Frozen Mojito," a refreshing blend of mint and lime that feels invigorating even in the cold. Each sip is a reminder of the creativity that goes into crafting drinks in such a unique setting. The bar also offers a selection of soft drinks for those who prefer a non-alcoholic option.

Conveniently located at Amstel 194, 1017 AG Amsterdam, the Icebar is surrounded by a plethora of attractions that make it an ideal stop during your exploration of the city. Just a short walk away, you can find the famous Rembrandt Square, a vibrant area filled with restaurants and nightlife. The stunning canals of Amsterdam are also nearby, perfect for a leisurely stroll before or after your visit.

One of the most captivating aspects of the Xtracold Icebar is its unique design, where everything is made from ice, including the bar itself and the glasses. Guests are treated to a 20-minute experience inside the ice bar, which is filled with intricate ice sculptures and a lively atmosphere. The friendly bartenders often engage guests with humorous anecdotes and fun facts about the bar, enhancing the overall experience.

 The entry fee is €24.50, which includes three drinks.

 Guests can enjoy the ice bar for 20 minutes, which is usually enough time to savor the experience.

 The Icebar is primarily designed for adults and may not be suitable for children.

Ready to embark on an extraordinary adventure? The Xtracold Icebar awaits you with its frosty delights and unforgettable experiences. Whether you’re a local or a traveler, this is a must-visit destination in Amsterdam. Don’t miss out—plan your visit today and create memories that will last a lifetime!

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.
