Ice Ice Baby!! Call me strange, but I have always wanted to have a drink at an Ice Bar. So what is an ice bar? It is a drinking establishment where just about everything is made out of ice!
Finally got the opportunity to visit an Ice Bar. Of all places, this first experience took place at Magic Ice in Bergen, Norway. Our timing was perfect because we beat all the cruise ship tourists so no waiting!
Had a super FUN experience!! After putting on one of their ponchos, into the freezer we went!! As expected, there were plenty of ice sculptures. All the walls, seating areas, shelvings, bar, etc. were made out ice!! Oh yeah, it was very chilly inside as well! Most folks weren't staying too long inside the ice bar before leaving for the warmth outside.
I enjoyed everything about the visit. The ice sculptures were creative. Especially the frame where you can poke your head through, and the throne where you can have a seat!! The Norwegian alcoholic drink (cannot recall the name) which was included with the entry price was quite good. Drinking it from the frozen ice glass made it even more chilling!!
Prices for the various packages were very reasonable. Staff was terrific. There shop even sells affordable Norwegian souvenirs.
If you've never experienced having a drink at an Ice Bar before, then I highly recommend dropping by Magic Ice!! It is one epic experience!! read more
