What is the Amsterdam Icebar?
The Amsterdam Icebar is an extraordinary establishment that sets itself apart from typical nightlife venues due to its captivating ambiance created by real ice. Considered a prominent attraction, it ranks among the top ten experiences to include in your Amsterdam itinerary. This remarkable venue maintains a frosty temperature of -10 degrees Celsius, and everything within it is crafted from ice, providing a one-of-a-kind atmosphere.
Upon entering, you are greeted by what can only be described as a breathtaking engineering marvel nestled in the heart of the city. As you indulge in your favorite beverages served in glasses made of ice, take a moment to absorb the artistry around you and learn about the fascinating Arctic explorations of Willem Barentsz, a historical figure whose adventures add depth to the experience.
Why should you visit the Icebar Amsterdam?
Experiencing the Amsterdam Icebar is genuinely unlike any other activity you’ll find in the city. For a limited duration, you can plunge into a mesmerizing sub-zero environment filled with intricate ice sculptures and remnants inspired by shipwrecks. This distinct setting offers a fantastic opportunity for memorable photos that capture the essence of your visit.

What should you expect during your visit to the Amsterdam Icebar?
The Icebar features two distinct lounges. Upon arrival, you’ll access the initial ‘warm’ tavern, followed by the true Icebar, located deeper within the venue. As you step into this chilly realm, you’ll receive three complimentary tokens: two silver tokens for drinks at the ice bar and one golden token that can be exchanged at the warm tavern.
The warm tavern boasts an extensive selection of drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Your golden token can be redeemed for a beer, cocktail, shot, soft drink, or even a hot beverage such as tea or coffee. While you enjoy your refreshments, you will be introduced to the journey of Willem Barentsz, a 16th-century Dutch explorer, as he invites you to embark on his quest for the Northeast Passage to the Indies.
Once the introduction concludes, you’ll be equipped with warm clothing provided by the bar to brave the icy temperatures. Inside the Icebar, you’ll find that every element—from the seating to the decor—is sculpted from ice. You can use your two silver tokens to select a variety of beverages, including beers, shots, or juice, all served in stunning ice glasses.
