About

Located near Rembrandtplein, Icebar Amsterdam offers a subzero adventure in the heart of the city. Inspired by Dutch explorer Willem Barentsz’s Arctic voyage, this immersive bar is crafted entirely from ice—walls, furniture, and even the glasses you drink from. Guests begin in a warm sailor-themed lounge before donning thermal coats and gloves to enter the ice chamber, kept at a frosty -10°C. Inside, visitors enjoy two complimentary drinks served in ice glasses, surrounded by glowing sculptures and polar-themed décor. The experience lasts around 20 minutes due to the chill, but the memories linger much longer. With its dramatic lighting, themed storytelling, and photo-ready atmosphere, Icebar Amsterdam is a must-visit for those seeking a cool twist on nightlife. Whether sipping vodka shots or snapping selfies beside icy bears, it’s a frosty escape that blends history, novelty, and fun in one unforgettable stop.
