Amsterdam Icebar

The one and only Amsterdam Icebar is an extraordinary bar in the centre of Amsterdam. What sets it apart from the rest? It’s made entirely out of ice!

The Amsterdam Icebar is literally one of the coolest places in the entire city and definitely one of the must-do attractions in the Dutch capital. Everything in this amazing bar is made entirely out of ice and it is kept at a constant temperature of -10 degrees Celsius. Marvel at this remarkable feat of engineering and enjoy this unique bar as you sip on your favourite drinks from ice glasses and discover more about Willem Barentsz’s exploration of the Arctic.

  • Enjoy 3 drinks, included with your ticket
  • Join Dutch explorer Willem Barentsz on his exploration of the Arctic
  • Stay warm during the ice-cold experience with a coat and gloves
Public transport
The nearest stop is Waterlooplein (tram 14 & metro 51, 53 and 54).

The bar consists of two parts: a 'warm' tavern and the ice bar itself, which is located at the back. When you enter the Amsterdam Icebar you’ll receive three free tokens, two silver and one golden. You can exchange the golden token in the warm lounge and the silver tokens in the ice bar.

In the warm lounge they offer a wide range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. You can use your token for a beer, wine, cocktail, shot, soft drink or a warm beverage. While you enjoy your drink, you’ll be introduced to Willem Barentsz, a 16th century Dutch Arctic explorer, who will invite you to join him on his journey to find the Northeast Passage to the Indies.

Afterwards, you will be given warm clothing for the journey to the North Pole and led into the ice bar where everything, from the furniture to the walls and the art, is made entirely out of ice. The ice bar represents the island of Nova Zembla, where Barentsz and his crew were shipwrecked for almost a year. Here you can use your two silver tokens to order beer, shots or orange juice, served in glasses made entirely of ice!
