This was so much fun! Very cold, good thing they give you a jacket to put on. You can only stay in the cave for so long, after a while I could hardly feel me fingers! We loved the shot glasses made of ice and the beer mugs. Would definitely do it again!

When we arrived at the Icebar, we waited for approximately one hour. After speaking with the receptionist, she informed us that the tour/session had already finished because the booking had supposedly been rescheduled to an earlier time.
The receptionist asked whether I had received an email notifying me of the change. I informed her that I had not received any email, notification, or other communication regarding a change to our booking time.
Because we were not notified of the rescheduling, we were unable to attend the experience through no fault of our own. We arrived expecting to attend at the time shown on our booking.

Fun experience. Love the shots! Friendly atmosphere fun staff. Cold but they gave you gloves and coats
Nysha_G, May 2026
Cold bar was small but the drinks were good. A bit cheesy but worth it for the experience and a Menio.
jpooh, May 2026

Theresa_A, Apr 2026
My mom and I had a lot of fun. The staff was very nice. Fun experience. They provide jackets and gloves. Fun places inside to take pictures.
Megan_B, Mar 2026
You literally are in a storeroom decorated to look like ice with cold air piped in. The shot glasses made of ice were cool- but it was a tiny space and very cheesy.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Dear Megan,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience at the Icebar didn’t fully meet your expectations. While the Icebar is designed as a small, themed space to give guests the unique experience of drinking in an icy environment, we understand that it may feel cozy and “cheesy” to some.
We’re glad you enjoyed the ice shot glasses and hope that, despite the size, you were able to have a fun and memorable moment. Your feedback is important to us and will help us improve the guest experience.
Kind regards,
Xtracold Icebar Team

It's great fun, great experience but very cold. Really enjoy the fun, drink & buzz. Was great craic with our group & we were well warmed up with our sambuca
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Dear Carol,
Thank you so much for your review!
We’re glad to hear you and your group had a fun time at the bar and enjoyed the drinks and atmosphere.
Yes, it is very cold in there, but it sounds like the sambuca helped keep the buzz going! 😉
Kind regards, Icebar

I was really looking forward to visiting the icebar as we had been to a smaller one at home. I’m not sure if I’m too old to see it enjoyable (only 22!) but the vibe just didn’t suit us. All of the staff came across as rude and quite vulgar, we felt quite rushed and under pressure to get in, finish our drinks, and get out. There were a decent variety of options within the icebar itself but the ones we tried weren’t particularly enjoyable (nuts & nougat vodka shot). We didn’t bother paying for another drink in the main bar due to the atmosphere there, but I ended up being sick throughout the night which I suspect came from the dodgy tasting vodka. Maybe it would be a better experience if on a night out.

Good experience, you get 3 drinks tokens, 1 for the main bar and 2 inside the ice bar. We had the option to have the main bar drink before or after the ice bar experience so we didn't have to rush. It was cold inside the room but manageable for the 20-30 minutes we were inside. Gloves and coats were provided but we didn't need them as it was a cold day and we came prepared. Selection of drinks in the ice bar included some Vodka or a Heineken, all served in a glass made of ice! Staff were fantastic throughout but the ice bar could get a little crowded at times.
Keith_J, Dec 2025
I believe for the price of two tickets you can go to another bar and have a great better choice of drinks cocktails. In the ice you’re offered shots of coconut flavored surgery drinks. Not worth it!
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Dear Keith,
Thank you for your feedback. We’d like to clarify that the Icebar is a unique experience made of ice, which is why the drinks are served in special ice glasses. While our selection is limited, it is designed to complement the icy environment and make your visit memorable. We appreciate your thoughts and hope you still enjoyed the novelty of the experience.
Kind regards,
Amsterdam Icebar

Remember to layer your clothes and be ready as it is very cold! A much younger group as I am way pass ages 20-30! That is the age of enjoyment as I observed. It was fun and another site in Amsterdam.
Nik_O, Dec 2025
Bit disappointed, having been to other ice bars I was expecting something similar but that wasn’t the case. Your ushered in and given 3 tokens, one for the main bar and 2 for the ice bars. Having had our first drink we were all ushered into queuing to go into the ice bar, by all I mean approx 40 people all together! With 1 person serving the bar and only 1 drink allowed at a time you spend most of your time queuing. The rooms small, nowhere to sit, an iced polar bear carving in the corner and not much else. By the time you get your first drink your told you have 5 minutes left to query and get the second drink or you lose it! Other ice bars have staggered entrance, more staff to serve and places to sit with a bigger area. Considering the price it’s worth a visit but don’t expect much. The staff are friendly though and the drinks we did have were good
Laura_M, Nov 2025
Fun experience, very busy 7pm on a Friday night! Not many places to sit while u have your first drink in the bar area. Then u get 2 more drinks in the ice bar when they take a group of u through. Glasses are actually made of solid ice so make sure you wear gloves or take the ones on offer to borrow!
EmmaJane_P, Nov 2025
We really enjoyed this, had issues with our flights going out and the staff were super accommodating and understanding with this. Get a lot for your money, and great experience. The only downside was the bartender who completely ignored me and my partner at the bar, and served people stood directly behind us before us. And was too busy playing the air drums in between.
Bethany_B, Nov 2025
Really good experience. Need to watch your second drink in the actual ice bar though as the glasses will start to melt.
Karen_C, Nov 2025

Rebecca_C, Nov 2025
Good experience but very very small inside , you do get coats and gloves but the coats do not do up , also you are only allowed 1 glass inside , so if you get a beer then a shot that’s ok but if you choose shot then beer , you would only be left with a shot of beer for your second drink , we had a nice time
But I think we was expecting a bit more .
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Dear Rebecca,
Thank you for the review! We are happy you enjoyed your visit and had a nice time with us! We hope to welcome you back really soon!

Great experience but drinks in the actual ice bar part limited in choice, unlike in the pre bar. Also photos available of you from inside the ice bar part to buy.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Dear Helen,
Thank you for your kind review! We’re glad you had a great experience and enjoyed the photos. We appreciate your note about the drink selection in the Icebar—it helps us improve. Hope to see you again soon!

It was a lot of fun! They supply a jacket and gloves (makes it hard to take pictures. I had to keep taking my gloves off). If you think you may get tipsy on 3 drinks in a short amount of time, you will not. Drinks are not strong. But it was worth it for the experience!
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Dear Kim,
Thank you for the kind review! We’re so glad you had fun at the Xtracold Icebar Amsterdam. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the unique experience and the cozy jackets and gloves that make it truly “cool.” We appreciate your feedback about the drinks and taking photos—it helps us improve the overall experience. We hope your visit left you with some frosty, fun memories to take home!
