The editorial take
ICEBAR serves its entire cocktail menu in ice glasses, a gimmick that earns its keep through a lineup of themed drinks like the Flaming Hurricane and Smoked Old Fashioned. The menu spans Fire, Frost Bite, and Cool categories, with mocktails for the sober set. Guests praise the drink quality, though some note smaller pours relative to package prices.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Smoked Old Fashioned, which layers oak smoke over Buffalo Trace and muddled orange and cherry. The Flaming Hurricane is a theatrical rum-vodka-gin blend with a lemon-cap float; the Eskimo Rum Punch is a fruity coconut-rum punch. For a shot, the Mexican Ski pairs Patron with OJ and grenadine on a shot-ski.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Cocktail drinkers seeking a novel drinking vessel and a wide variety of themed drinks will find much to like. Groups celebrating birthdays or bachelorette parties can lean into the shot-ski and VIP packages. Those who prioritize value over spectacle may be less impressed by the 4-6 ounce pours.
- When should I go?
- Evenings with live DJs add to the party atmosphere, though the ice bar experience is available year-round.
- What should I expect to spend?
- No individual cocktail prices are listed, but VIP packages offer a sense of scale: the Date Night Package runs $140, a Bachelorette Celebration $400, and a Celebration Package $500. These typically include admission and drink tokens.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The entire bar is built around 70 tons of hand-carved ice, with seating and glasses made of ice. Every cocktail is served in an ice glass, and the menu is organized into themed categories like Fire and Frost Bite. The adjoining Fire Lounge offers a contrast with its own signature cocktails and bottle service.

How it sits with the food
While the cocktail program is the focus, the Fire Lounge serves appetizers that could pair with the Smoked Old Fashioned's oak notes or the citrus-forward Eskimo Rum Punch. No specific food-beverage pairings are documented, so treat the bar snacks as an accompaniment to the thematic experience.
