We had a fantastic time at Below Zero Ice Bar. The staff were amazing and went above and beyond to make my birthday special by giving us two complimentary cocktails, which was incredibly kind of them.

We loved the atmosphere, the ice carvings, and the drinks. Jackets and gloves are provided and kept us nice and warm throughout the experience. The location is also very easy to find.

A fun and unique experience that we would definitely recommend. 10/10 from us!

We visited on a Wednesday and had a great time. We got the 2 cocktails entry package and found the prices pretty reasonable.

Special thanks to Jack, Meg and Jess who were great hosts and cracked plenty of jokes as they talked us through everything!

Something we would do again.

We enjoyed our visit. Emily and Megan where friendly at the bar and our 14 year old had a good time with the ice/air hockey table. Neat experience.
