    Pretty cool experience if you're looking to go for a nice drink in Queenstown! Quite expensive but would recommend.

    The ice bar is a novel change to usual tourist attractions. To stand in minus 8 degrees and have cocktails in a small room where everything is made of ice, including your glass, was a fun and novel experience. It is a 1 hour experience if you can last that long in the room.

    Vesta has a beautiful selection of curated gifts, there really is something for everyone here! Such a beautiful historic building, it's wonderful to see it being used this way.

    We stumbled across this bar and visited it for a quick drink. However after ordering our drinks they offered us a free pizza, one of the best I have tasted. Loved the authentic Cowboys decor and the Iron bucking bull, great night

    Amazing fun, great up stairs area. Staff were awesome and very helpful. Nice setting and cool bar. We hired topless waiters for our event and it was perfect for that, private and cool.

    A great open, cosy bar, also with outdoor seating. Good ambience inside, open and roomy with a fireplace and very good service offering great drink options.

    My son and I really enjoyed our time spent here, so much so we came back twice before our holiday was over. The food was good, I loved the flaming zombie cocktail although it was pricey. You do get arcade credit when you spend on food which is a nice touch. We loved the arcade and were stoked to discover we could use our Timezone card from home. We really enjoyed the escape rooms but they're the hardest we've ever done and sadly couldn't complete either of them. I found all of the staff we encountered to be great, it's nice to see young people take pride in their work and show enthusiasm towards your customers.

    We turned up really early 7pm after an early dinner. It was empty but there was a young local guy singing and playing guitar. We stayed for about an hour and a half and enjoyed the couch and the music. It gradually started to fill up. Cheap cocktails too!

    Cool bar, just in front of the lake. Good beer selection and good food with lots of vegan/vegetarian options. My fish taco was quite average though.

    The amount of available wines were impressive, and the tasting system quite sophisticated. We ordered cheese platter with the wine. Everything very good, but quite expensive. They even charged extra for a few gluten free biscuits.

    I went here for the Closing down party and loved it! Loved how the bar tender was dressed as a Mad Hatter and it was all alice and wonderland themed! The music in the main room was a bit too loud though, your ear drums suffered! But I hope they shift all the decor to World Bar and they keep it up!

    Visited last night for a couple of quiet drinks as Queenstown was extremely quiet last night. I think it's because ot the time of the season. I visited with 2 other friends and we all had a real good laugh. They have their own little section for a DJ which added to the atmosphere and also have "loyalty stickers" for cheaper drinks. Last night me and a friend left our drinks at the bar and when we returned they were gone. Charlie Mcubbine - the Manager - was more than happy to save the day and pour us a fresh one! Cool little bar, definately will be returning soon.

    Bar crawls are an excellent way to explore the nightlife of a Queenstown party life. I had amazing experience in Queenstown with Kiwi Crawl and a fantastic host named Emily! I will recommend anyone visiting Queenstown to try it out.
