It was super cool and the drinks were great. The online registration tool did NOT work from USA which was frustrating but the front desk guy was great and let us in early. Thanks for a cool experience and please fix the online tool.

There was no food when we went.

Wow!  What a cool place to have drinks at!  You pay an entrance fee, then wait your turn to be let in.  Once it’s your turn you receive a cape and gloves. You receive a complimentary drink when you get to the bar.  Was a great place to enjoy a drink after dinner.

Is it bizarre? Yes. Is it overpriced? Yes. Is it also exceptionally quirky and fun? Absolutely! Nearly everything in this structure -- the walls, tables, even the glasses -- are made of ice. The interior is kept at 18 F, but they keep you warm by providing parkas, gloves, and a drink menu (two fixed-price versions, with or without alcohol). A completely unique to kill a quick hour in Stockholm!

I like this experience! This is operating by the famous Absolut vodka! Paid 278:- for entrance and an alcohol drink, I think a little bit expensive, but it's an experience, nvm~ They offered a coat, a pair of gloves, I liked the music they played there. Inside the icebar, there were ice sculptures . The cocktail was good! Let's guess would they reuse the ice cup hahahahha😆

As someone already wrote in the reviews:
A little expensive, the bar is not big, the maximum time can take 25-40 minutes, but it is worth your attention. Everyone who visits Stockholm has to try this experience) We had an early reservation, so we didn't have to wait and there weren't many people.
