It was a hot day in Barcelona so we thought we'd cool off at an ice bar. It's right in front of the main beach in the area. You pay an entry fee and then get to choose from a variety of beer or cocktails. This list is small but you hand some options. This place photographs very well. It's almost impossible to take a bad picture. It honestly looks better than it is. We enjoyed the room for the first 10 minutes or so to finish our drinks. After that you'll find yourself wanting to leave. They provide jackets and gloves so you don't freeze. But these honestly feel like they are not cleaned/sanitized well. Also when you take off their clothing and go from cold to hot, you'll find yourself feeling sweaty and sticky at the same time. Went to take a shower ASAP. if you don't mind their prices, it's worth checking out once. But don't expect much more than what I described/photoed. read more

It is COLD!!! This was a cute stop for a friend and I once reaching Barcelona. We had bought our tickets online prior to arrival *which gets you a discounted rate*. As soon as we arrived we were given our jackets & gloves then moved into the Ice Bar. Your ticket also includes one cocktail. I went with the Pineapple Express which was surprisingly strong. According to the signage you're allowed 45mins in the Ice Bar. My friend and I lasted 10.... it is coldddddd. Get your pics & drinks then get out! read more

Came here, while in Barcelona (from America). The music was very good and the service was amazing. I did not get the name of the two bartenders, but they were two males, both very nice. They were very fast with making drinks and offered to take our photos! Would definitely come back again! read more

What do you do when there's a storm in Barcelona raining cats and dogs? You be that brave soul because when you're only in Barcelona for a certain number of days, you can't let a storm stop you from you original plan. So what did we do? Go to the coldest place when you're already freezing! YAY! Obviously there were no line.... hence this ice bar is literally next to the beach... and since it's raining so hard, no ones at the beach, therefore.... YAYYY no ones at the ice bar either! (Besides these fools - us) SO, we don't even have to buy tickets ahead of time, literally got there, paid, got our warm fuzzy coats and mittens that they provided us, and in we go. AWESOMEEE, no one to be crowded with and literally had the whole bar to ourselves. Talk about ballin' so hard :D Awesome music, had 1 free drink of our choice. Tried the Leia on Ice, it was chill. Get it? ;D Anywayssss, of course even the drink came in an ice cup, overall cool experience. Now you know, if you want to avoid the line, go on a cold rainy day! XD read more

Icebarcelona - Bars Near Me - Barcelona, B

What makes this Ice bar really special, well it's the first Ice bar at the beach in the world. Yes, you heard right! You have the best of both world's. With an amazing view, it's like paradise. Icebarcelona is an open area, you can order drinks at the bar, or sit back relax and enjoy the scenery. You'll have to notify the bartender or hostess for entering the "Ice area". Our admission was $15 euros back in 2013 I believe. It included a warm jacket, gloves, and 2 drinks. Jacket and gloves to be returned after you exist. It was kindof expensive however it was an activity my husband and I really wanted to experience while in Spain, and I'm glad we did. I suggest you wear regular shoes, or else your feet will be frozen right away. You can bring camera's as it is suggested so you can capture lots of great memories. You can stay inside for 45 minutes or so depending how well you are with the cold. The temperature oscilitates between 23 and 14 degrees celsius. They have a regular bar menu, and several options to choose from for your free ones. The bartender had a heavy hand, can't remember his name unfortunately but our experience was a great one. We really enjoyed ourselves and would recommend this place to anyone who will be visiting the area. 5 stars all the way. read more

What a fun little stop! Tourist "traps" can also be fun! Sure, we may have this in the states, but if I wasn't on vacation I would've never given this a second look. And I'm glad I did because it was more fun than I'd thought. To enter you'll need to pay for an entry fee, which comes with a free drink. I didn't purchase mine in advance, just at the door on a whim. You will be given a parka and gloves prior to entry. Don't be a hero and suit up, even if you are already something warm. The concept was cool, or should I say "cold"? Ok I'll try to stop with the ice/cold jokes. But honestly, seeing the actual bar made out of ice was neat. Then you see that the glasses are also made out of ice, I couldn't handle it, it's awesome! As I sat on my ice chair while holding a cold glass of beverage, I had a little Elsa/Ice Queen moment, I'm not gonna lie. The music was happening (I forgot to Shazaam some of the songs they played but it was so good! Very danceable!) and everyone in the room was having a great time. The only con I'd say is the size. It's not as big as I'd hoped/expected. But I still had fun nonetheless, just wish there were more space for more ice sculptures. I feel bad for the other reviewers who came in on a quieter day as I think they'd change their tune if they experienced what I experienced. Lost of dancing and laughing while we were freezing our tails off. My friends and family were also very receptive to the pictures and videos I posted I figured most wouldn't care but it was a hit! If you have 30 minutes to burn why not come inside to cool off. Ice ice baby! (ok sorry, no more, I promise!) Oh yeah, this is located right by the beach too so take a romantic stroll too while you're at it. Then bar/restaurant hop along the stretch. It's in the perfect location for an active nightlife. read more

It's like we walked into a meat locker. There was no atmosphere and 45 minutes was to much time to hang out there.

The rudest service ever. Do not come here and spend your money. I was here for more then one minute and talking to someone and a staff member came up to me and said unless I purchase a drunk immediately I must leave and they were incredibly rude to me. read more

I love the look and feel of this place. I'm not cool enough to party the night away so this review is for lunch and drinks on the beach terrace. I love their take on bacalao with tomato sauce. The bacalao was delicate and balanced rather than salty like I've had at other places. The clams were the best I've had in recent memory. Also, their sorbets are a refreshing treat after a hard day at the beach. Get great food and great service while watching scantily clad men and women sun themselves on the beach. I'm not complaining. read more

It's an ice-bar all right, so you get what the name promises, but not much more than that. I've seen them much better (and cheaper...) If you ever get to the Lofoten islands in Norway, for example, I can recommend Magic Ice, with a HUGE collection of ice sculptures. read more

Icebarcelona - The nicest of the few sculptures. - Bars Near Me - Barcelona, B

I also thought Ice Bar...celona would be bigger but was still fully entertained. Pigging freezing but worth the fun at -15C. Thank you for the skin rugs on the ice seats to try warm your tushy but then again drinking from a glass made of ice is never going to warm you through. 13 Euros with a Barcelona Card that gets you in with warmers and a cocktail inside wasn't too bad a price, worth it. My ice glass leaked out the bottom to my horror but the bar maid believed that I wasn't a complete alcoholic and made me a new drink in a new glass. Wouldn't recommend if you can't stand the cold or don't like vodka as it seems to be the only alcohol they stock in there to stop it being an ice pop cocktail. Go try it with a group and try not to lick the walls. read more

This is a gimmicky type of a place, but it is one cool gimmick. It is hard to go to an Ice Bar and not have an exciting time. The price was relatively cheap and they serve you a drink in a mug made of ice. It is a fun 30-minutes in sub zero temperature and great for Facebook photo ops. You show up, pay around 15 euros, they give you a coat and gloves, you go inside and get a free drink, and enjoy the ice cold surroundings. Everyone leaves happy. read more

Great place for pics, but not for long-term stays. RUNDOWN: - Entry tickets can be bought there (17.50 Euros) or online (16 Euros) - Each ticket comes with a coat, gloves, and one free drink (obviously, the clothes must be returned upon leaving) - Ice sculptures inside might change depending on the seasons/trends (Sagrada Familia, Star Wars themes, etc.) - It doesn't ever get very crowded because it's -14C and people usually come in to take pictures, redeem their free drink, then leave TIPS/RECS: - NO re-entry, so don't leave if you plan on going back inside - CASH ONLY at the ice bar inside!! - I do not recommend any open-toe shoes or shorts/skirts because it will definitely cut your time short inside the ice bar Overall, a great place for getting a good Instagram picture, but not really worth it to keep coming back. read more

I'm going to lead with, this is indeed a tourist trap. It looks great in pictures, and you get a 'free' drink with the purchase of your entry. We were told that we pay 17 euro, would be given a coat and gloves, and allotted one free drink for the price. Once inside, we found that we were the ONLY people inside the freezer--erm--bar. Don't get me wrong, the concept is quite cool, there are ice sculptures, roses inside ice, and a literal bar top and cups that are entirely made of ice. But keep in mind that you are standing inside a freezer, and will only be able to do that for 10-15 minutes without getting uncomfortable. Enjoy your drink, mine was honestly absolutely delicious, take some cute pictures, and enjoy the few minutes that you can stand inside! Also, do not come here on a day that you do not have on full length pants or have on open toe shoes. I don't care how much of a trooper you think you are, sitting on a bench made of ice, while holding a cup made of ice, inside a building made of ice will freeze even the brave. read more

Shots! Shots! Shots in an ice bar? I'm in! We came here for a friends birthday during an intense storm. The bar is located on a beach, which I imagine would have been beautiful on a warm night. Sure this probably isn't the best ice bar in the world, but it's a pretty good time, especially if you're visiting Barcelona. Cover is 20 euros per person, and there is about a 20 - 30 min wait. Once they call your name, they give you these cute silver parkas and you walk through what's almost like a meat locker. Everything in this tiny little bar is carved of ice lit up with colored LED's. This place is pretty cold, but the vodka shots will keep you warm. Cheers! read more

Very empty on a Wednesday night, but very nice staff. I liked the ice cups, and the drinks were fine. My friends and I were the only people in there and we danced for a little bit, but it was pretty cold so we left after not too long. read more

Icebarcelona - Bars Near Me - Barcelona, B

Extremely gimmicky. But I guess for something you try once, it was worth paying the 15 euro entrance fee that included 1 free drink. We also got a 15% discount with some flier my hostelmate found. Though, even with the thick puffy jackets and gloves, we could only manage to survive for about 30 minutes. It was just too cold. And no one else was crazy enough to stay in there with us. Would I ever try out another ice bar? Probably not. But do I regret going in the first place? Nope! read more

We where in Barcelona this week end and had The most wonderful time Exept for one Total Rip off The so called ice Barcelona it is big like my freezer at home it stinks inside and the rain deer skins where we are suppose to sit where wet nobody inside so we decided to go out almost immediately 1min later we asked the manager behind the bar if we could have are money back as me and my two kids where so disappointed first he asked 46€ for the 3 of us we Didn't consume anything really a total scam no money back he suggested to make a cocktail which was totally disgusting a rip off there is a ice bar in kuruna Sweden New York etc nothing to do with this total scam Michel read more

Beautiful place! You can see the sea from the bar, it's pretty awesome! Great drinks & the music is really good. The inside is pretty cool, partying with -11 inside and almost 20 outside is kind of funny! Experience to do once in a lifetime! read more

Super Touristy and Super Cheesy -- but fun! They give you goofy coats to wear and even serve you your drinks in a cup made of ice! Its relatively small... about the size of a studio apartment in NYC. We only had one drink and left. Its definitely not a place you go and hang out all night. Good news is that its right on the beach near lots of other clubs etc... so you can easily wander somewhere else when you are done. read more

Coooool experience. Mediocre drinks? Tourist Trap! read more

Icebarcelona suggest you to live a unique experience. A lounge completely made of ice (walls, furnishing, bar) where you will enjoy a cocktail, a beer, or any drink you want, at a temperature of -5°C. Laugh at the cold! We will give you a thermal jacket and gloves to get the most of your visit. Entering the icebar is not just about fun. Moreover, you will be able to gaze at amazing sculptures, real artworks created by sculptors from all around the world Original, amazing, amusing, unique! Dont leave Barcelona without trying The IceBar Experience. You will not regret it. read more

This was a fun and interesting experience, but not worth the price in my option. It's a very very very small room and the expensive entry fee only includes one small drink. Takes maybe 3 minutes to see the few ice sculptures in this small square room. Definitely a big tourist attraction. read more

Absolutely amazing experience. The icebar is something you can't miss. I LOVED THE VIBE THE STAFF AND MUSIC. Very energetic Sugar.

Ice bar was not worth the hype. Free drink was nice but you can only stay in the freezer for 10 minutes or so. Empty on weekdays.

The ice bar itself is really small and after you finish your "free" drink the rest of them are too expensive

I went there on January with a friend. We were so exited 'cause we heard a lot about that place...by the way we decided to go there...we paid 15€ apiece and they gave us a pear of gloves and a jacket and then they allow us to enter in a little refrigerating room. There were nobody! There were only four drink in the bar menu (only alcoholic)... It has been such a negative experience! read more

I'd imagine Ice Barcelona to be bigger, but I still had fun nonetheless. I met two Japanese tourists and a Spaniard here, it's easy to chat with everyone else when you are in an intimate ice room. Ice Barcelona provides you with a coat and a pair of gloves, though I had to change to gloves I brought with me. There are nice ice sculptures inside, such as a polar bear and la Sagrada Familia. The drinks were good-- I don't remember what I ordered, I think it was an apple martini. The people who work here must have a blast watching people from the outside. The guy outside started playing a Japanese song and the tourists started dancing and doing karaoke along with the song! Great times! I had a hard time opening the door so they were also laughing at me when exiting. Yes, I'm special. read more

When they say you can't stay in there too long it is not because of the cold it is because it is not worth the money. This is a tourist trap! You can get the same experience by asking any restaurant to let you into their freezer for free. It is very small and the drinks are not worth the €12-18 entrance. read more

If you are in the market for a good as it gets tourist trap, this place is for you. Compared to the Vegas Ice Bar, this place is like a Mercat to Vegas' Whole Foods. Still it was somewhat fun to drink an alcoholic gas station smoothie in an ice closet. It was kinda like the next Ed Sheeran record. Cheesy? Yes. Kinda fun? Yes. As long as no one notices you enjoying it read more

What was awesome about this place is that everything was literally made out of ice! From the the seats to the drink glasses! It was a bit pricey (20 euros per person) but a free drink was included. I personally didn't stay there for long (about 20-30 mins) at the most because I started freezing but it was definitely worth the experience! read more

Awesome people! David and Buba awesome bartenders! Very American friendly, only if you tip! Always tip well... Very COOOOL place

This was my first ice bar experience and I really enjoyed it. For around 15 euros you get entry to the ice bar room and a drink. If you are looking for a unique bar along la barceloneta I would highly recommend icebarcelona. The staff was friendly as well. We went earlier in the night - around 11pm and it was not overly busy - which is a good idea because you want to get pictures inside the bar and not have to wait too long for your drink! read more

A seriously "cool" gimmick and absolutely loved it. Weather was mentally hot and finding this place really made my night. Most of the clubs on the strip here played the most commercial and boring music. Finding this place and the bar was a night saver....... read more

-11 that is one cold bar. Your entry includes a drink of your choice which comes in an ice glass. Yes everything is ice except the stiff drinks. They give you a large super puffy silver jacket and gloves that smell like old dirty jock straps. I suggest washing your hands upon leaving, you never know where those gloves have been but it could have well been the jackets that stunk. It was my first time in an ice bar which was exciting upon first arrival and then got old very quickly once the cold set in. My friends and I enjoyed smashing our glasses on the ice counter before we left since the bartender was nowhere to be seen and there were buckets of broken ice in multiple areas of the bar...why not have a laugh and smash your ice mug, it's not like they are going to wash and reuse it. When I was inside the bar I didn't see an ice lounge which I found odd, you would think if a bar has that much ice they could do some pretty fun creative ways to drink. read more

Ice, Ice Baby!! Something that you can get at Siberian bar or Aspen with one tiny difference....Mother Beach, right in front of you!!!. -5C inside, but once you are outside is 30C. Ice Barcelona charge 15 Euros to let you in for almost an hour and a drink included, more than anything tourist come here. You can have a good time if like cold atmosphere and know how to make the best of everything. read more

My friend and I bought our tickets to the icebar on groupon. I let the woman know who was there in the afternoon and she said she could not let us in until we went to the website and officially reserved. She then walked away without telling us how to do so. We sat down and did as she asked.. after clearly seeing our groupon code. We were on the website but could not find the option to do it with our code. Meanwhile, a guy who works was trying to help us, he kept going back and forth to what I presume to be the boss (the woman), asking for where to go and what to do. After the guy finally figured it out and did the reservation, the system was not showing up that we had reserved, the woman came and said she was sorry but she could not do anything about it and walked away! After the guy kept refreshing to see if our names popped up and waiting at least 10 minutes for this and nothing happening, we decided to leave and then come back. As we were walking out, the woman comes back out and gives us tickets saying we could go in... SERIOUSLY!!!??? Not only was she unprofessional by not coming directly to us and letting us know what to do, but she was also cold and unfriendly. The service was terrible from her part and in the end the icebar was not worth it--- small and pricey. read more
