Had a blast! - We went for my friend’s 60th birthday. Don’t believe the reviews. It’s what you make of it! Yes, it’s cold but it’s a frickin’ ice bar!! 🥶❄️ We had a great time and stayed for the whole time (20 mins). We did put on 2 coats though, as they are a tad thin and could have done with thicker gloves. Constructive feedback - not a criticism 🙂 Wear layers! Special mention to Ryan, who looked after us and made my friend feel very special!

Total Tourist Trap- Avoid! - 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.

Extremely overrated - Extremely overrated for the price you pay. The drinks included are a mouth of alcohol. Bit of a let down to be honest

Mediocre - The staff were nice,the facilities were awful.The ice bar was alittle dissapointing and could be more appealing, it all looks alittle tired.

A big let down. - We went with high expectations but sadly left feeling disappointed. In fact we left before our 20 mins were up and not because we were cold. Basically it’s very basic and not much effort has gone into the decor. Save your money and don’t go.

Rubbish - Having been previously to Ice Bar Berlin was expecting something similar. Oh how wrong I was. The ice room was tiny, floor metal not white, crappy plastic "ice". The throws to help you sit on ice seats were just filthy. The toilets had no loo roll and, frankly, stank. You got drinks in ice glasses which were used again between different customers ( yes I watched) Was rushed and in by rude staff, no pre video, You couldn't pay me to go again.

So so so so so so so so so bad - Guy with long hair is so so rude. And to be honest all of the staff are. The drinks are so bad and you basically get nothing. When you get in the room it’s so so small and there’s no where to stand. You have to stand in a queue for most of the time. The room look so so bad. Also there’s a really weird smell coming from the bathroom and it spreads. The experience is honestly so so bad the guy was so rude and just horrible. If you do one thing on your trip to Amsterdam, make sure you don’t come here.
