There are few places in Amsterdam where you can find such exciting attractions in such close proximity as the Amsterdam Icebar and Our House Amsterdam. By purchasing a combination ticket for both venues, visitors not only save on the overall ticket price but also receive an additional complimentary drink at the museum, resulting in a total of four drinks included with your entry!
The Amsterdam Icebar is renowned as one of the coolest spots in the city (both literally and figuratively) and certainly ranks among the top ten must-visit attractions in Amsterdam. Meanwhile, Our House stands out as one of the city’s most electrifying venues. With a combination ticket, you can immerse yourself in the thrilling history of Dutch polar exploration while also delving into the origins of Electronic Music.
The Amsterdam Icebar features two distinct bar environments: the main bar and the ice bar. Upon arrival, you will be welcomed into the main bar, where your adventure begins with your first complimentary drink, provided in exchange for a golden token you receive at entry. After savoring your initial drink, you’ll meet Willem Barentz, the captain of the Mercury and a famed Arctic explorer. He will guide you as you venture into the ice bar, where his ship tragically found itself trapped in the icy depths.
Before entering the ice bar, guests are outfitted with warm clothing, including a coat and gloves, to withstand the chilling -10°C temperature inside. Once you step into this frigid setting, you will find yourself surrounded by ice—from the walls to the intricately crafted sculptures and the glasses used to serve your drinks. In this icy haven, you can enjoy two additional beverages by exchanging your silver tokens.
Our House serves as the premier electronic dance music experience, inviting guests to trace the evolution of electronic music. As soon as you enter, your 75-minute journey begins with a complimentary drink, leading you through the fascinating history of how Electronic Dance Music (EDM) transitioned from a marginalized underground movement to a global cultural sensation. This enthralling journey includes awe-inspiring shows, featuring the first warehouse parties, as well as tributes to iconic clubs and festivals, complemented by interactive displays and exhibits.
While the Netherlands may not have birthed House music or EDM, it certainly embraced and nurtured these genres, quickly establishing its own unique sound known as gabber, often referred to as early hardcore. Over the years, Dutch DJs have consistently topped the charts in DJ Mag’s Top 100, and EDM has become one of the most significant cultural exports of the nation.
Our House spans four decades of House music history and proudly showcases contributions from numerous legendary DJs and event organizers, including luminaries like Armin van Buuren, Carl Cox, Charlotte de Witte, Diplo, Kevin Saunderson, Tomorrowland, Ultra Music Festival, ID&T, and The Frankie Knuckles Foundation.
Are you eager to brave the cold of the Icebar and dive deeper into the world of House music? If so, then don’t miss out on this combination ticket for both the Amsterdam Icebar and Our House Amsterdam. Make your reservation today and enjoy that extra drink at Our House alongside three complimentary beverages at the Icebar!
