- Jb1 contributionIce barMy partner and I went to the Ice bar in Queenstown on Wednesday, a great experience made even more memorable and enjoyable by our amazing bar tender Emi. The environment was cool, however it was fairly quiet. He made it tenfold better by talking to us, having jokes, offering to take photos and being an overall incredible bartender going above and making us welcome. I highly recommend this bar and appreciate and applaud his ability to be personable and fun!We really appreciate this review, thank you! To hear this sort of feedback is just unbeatable.

If you’re looking for a classy and memorable experience, Queenstown Ice Bar is by the far the best out of the other options. The service was superb, the snow jackets and gloves were clean, and the ice bar didn’t smell like a pub on a Sunday morning. They also take care in making their delicious cocktails (the kids also can’t stop raving about the mocktails too). Definitely worth the premium if you’re with the family or partner.

Cocktails were delicious. Slick performance from the staff, coats and gloves provided and a good time had by us all.
Colder than I had expected - I know, who would have guessed when it's an ice bar, but my fingers were bloomin painful!
