About this tour
Step into Australia's sole sub-zero drinking establishment, where the temperature sits at a crisp -10°C year-round. Located in Melbourne, this 45-minute experience trades ordinary air for crystalline cold, serving you a single cocktail or alcohol-free option depending on your age. You'll be kitted out with a hooded cape, gloves, and boots to fend off the chill while you navigate the frozen interior at your own pace.
Highlights
- Australia's only permanently frozen bar venue
- Constant -10°C environment with full thermal gear provided
- One included drink, cocktail or non-alcoholic
- Wheelchair accessible throughout entire space
- Public transport stops within walking distance
- No age restrictions on entry for under-18s with soft drinks
What to expect
You'll check in and receive protective gear—cape, gloves, and boots—before entering the ice bar proper. The space is genuinely frigid; expect your breath to mist and any exposed skin to feel the cold quickly. Your one included drink arrives in a glass made from ice. Spend your 45 minutes at whatever pace suits you, whether that's lingering over your drink or exploring the frozen décor. The novelty wears off faster than you'd think, so this works best as a novelty tick-off rather than a lengthy hangout.
Good to know
Additional drinks cost extra. Professional photos are for sale; personal cameras aren't permitted inside. Book ahead, as capacity is limited. Dress warmly before you arrive, and note infants aren't suited to the environment. Wheelchair users should check accessibility details directly, though the venue advertises full access.
