    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages fascinating, free drink with entry, unique experience, designer poncho to keep you warm

    Disadvantages Disadvantages better to book in advance, drink refills are expensive, not many seated areas

    Why the Ice Bar? = = = = = = = = = My boyfriend's 30th birthday was coming up and I knew he wanted to go to the Ice Bar at some point. Our mission this year was to go to as many places as we could to visit and although it's the end of April already we haven't really had the chance to visit many places. As a birthday present, I decided that I would take my boyfriend to London for the day where we would go somewhere for a meal and then go to the Ice Bar so we could both experience what it was like here. Some of my friends have been to the Ice Bar and I love the look of it and as we both booked a ... more

    Advantages Advantages Cool Man !

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Freezing !!!!

    "Ice Ice Baby … do do … do do … do do ... do do!" Absolut Ice Bar London 31-33 Heddon Street London W1B 4BN I had heard about this bar about a year ago and was very keen to visit it, having been fascinated by the concept of the Ice Hotel located in Jukkasjärvi in Sweden. I had spoken to one of our account managers about it as she had been and had it in mind as a good place for a first date! However, the bar does get very busy in the evening and booking in advance is to be recommended to ensure you are not disappointed and having to queue upon arrival. ~~~~~~ Location ~~~~~~ The bar is the ... more

    5 Stars Ice Ice Baby! Review with images 18/11/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages The experience, vodka cocktails

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Pricey evening

    When the opportunity to visit London's Ice Bar (I don't believe Absolut sponsor it anymore) came up I jumped at the chance. It is apparently run by the people who operate Sweden's Ice Hotel. The Ice Hotel being quite a pricey short trip, I thought a compromise, with a visit to the Ice Bar, would do until the lottery win happens. The Ice Bar is the UK's only permanent bar made of ice and is regulated at -5 C. You go in for 40 minute time slots wearing special thermal capes and gloves. I arrived at the venue on Heddon Street (just round the back of Regent St South) and was greeted on the door ... more

    5 Stars A perfectly chilly way to spend 40 minutes! Diamond review Review with images 07/06/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages It's icy cold and very cool atmosphere is fab!!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Some of the fixtures let it down a little bit.

    If you're interested in going somewhere a bit different for a drink one day try the Absolut Ice Bar in London. I had a very exciting surprise when I was taken there as part of my hen night recently (May 2006). Location It can be found hidden away at 31-33 Heddon Street in London. Just off Regent Street, 5 minutes from Piccadilly Circus tube, it's also incidentally opposite the Cheers Bar where we started off for our first drink! To get there we turned left off Regent Street into Heddon Street and passed Strawberry Moons pub also on our left. I've been to the Moons before but I was surprised to ... more

    4 Stars Ice Ice Baby!!! Review with images 12/07/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages The whole experience is different from any other

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No refunds on booking

    Well the mrs was coming to her special 21st birthday (still don't know why it's special) and naturally she wanted to celebrate it but she didn't want to go to the usual club stuff and so wanted something more mature yet fun. So off we went on google and made a list of possible venues and after searching for what seemed like 21 years had passed a list was made. So far the search was crap, all the ones we found weren't up to her standard but we found 2 that were. One was a lovely shisha restaurant, had a very nice moroccan feel to it with all the pillows and furniture and the next was the ... more

    Advantages Advantages Looks good, something different

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not for everyone

    LOCATION 31-33 Heddon Street London W1B 4BN I didn't find this bar at all easy to find, the nearest underground stations are Oxford Circus and Piccadilly Circus. We only found it with the help of some kind of mobile phone map application. Asking locals and street vendors nobody had heard of Heddon Street. It's a small street that you would easily walk past which is off Regents Street so leave yourself with a little spare time if you are not familiar with the area, or use a map. COST We visited on a Saturday, which costs £16. Booking in advance for any other day would cost £12.50. This price ... more
