«Winter is coming.» ~ The words of House Stark The Ice Pub, yes — it’s a novelty stop. You don’t go here for anything but a little alcohol boost and((cringing)) some selfies. If you’re good with that and don’t expect much else, it’s fun for what it is. And what it is is a big frozen room with a throne made out of ice, a table made out of ice, sculptures made out of… ice. Yes, pretty much everything is made of ice. The whole point is to go in wearing a big parka and gloves, stand at the bar made entirely of ice and drink a mixed drink, or two or three served in glasses made out of… well, you know… and then you get to smash your glass into the trash can. You have 30 minutes in the room, and believe me, that’s plenty of time to hang out in a room that is chilled to –7 Celsius. The two bartenders serve three different types of mixed drink which is just ordered by the taste — sweet, sour or bitter. My favorite was the sour. There’s loud dance music playing and the bartenders are all about trying to get you to order another drink, but what else are you going to do to keep warm here? Nearly everything in Prague is relatively cheap but beware you’ll be paying about $ 6 per drink here which is at least twice what you’ll pay for a drink elsewhere in the city.

Definitely not worth the trip. First you have to pay the entrance fee to get into the building. Then you need to prepay to buy a drink to get into the actual ice bar. The service in the bar is terrible. The drinks are awful. They market that they are mixed drinks, but they taste just like a plain shot of vodka. Service was crap. Way over priced and not worth it at all.

This was the absolute worst service I’ve ever experienced at a bar. The lady who sold me my ticket forgot to give me my receipt(which you need to get in to the ice bar to get drinks) and then later blamed me for losing it and refused to refund me or let me in to the bar. I was completely sober by this point and I don’t know if it was because I’m a foreigner or just it this lady was that rude but either way it was the worst customer service. Do not go here!!! I would give negative stars if possible.

Do not go here. The girl behind the counter first didn’t give one person in my group her ticket to get in after paying(she never mentioned we needed any sort of ticket). My other friend and I got our refunds since we were given tickets, but she gave him a ripped bill, which apparently isn’t taken at most places in Prague. Poor customer service. I will say last time I came here too, the shots are very weak as well and extra drinks cost about 150. Not expensive for my home currency, but not cheap in the city by any means.

La gracia de los ice pubs era la novedad, el «cómo mola! Qué original!». Eso obviamente ya no lo tienen, ya que hace un tiempo que abrieron varios por toda Europa. Yo probé primero el de Budapest y me pareció más agradable que este, quizá porque en Praga me sentí un como como una vaca de estas que van por las cadenas: te ponen en fila, guantes, abrigo, tal… Venga, «to’s pa’ dentro», tenéis 20 minutos para flipar, haceros fotos para el tuenti y beberos las cosas estas en vaso de hielo que saben un poco a rayos… A mí la idea me sigue molando, y las fotos quedan chulas y es verdad que es algo diferente a lo normal, pero aviso de que tenemos uno en Madrid así que estando en Praga aprovecharía a hacer otras cosas que en España no pueda A NOSER que salga más barato el ice pub de Praga que el de Madrid(este último son 15 euros, creo; el de Praga no me acuerdo) y ya pues se quiera aprovechar.

I thought this bar had a fantastic atmosphere. It had so many styles and different selections, but honestly the 2 star review was because of a certain bartender(I believe his name is jakub and he was working at the discotecha section). I have seriously never met such a rude bartender in my life. I came into this bar without a drink in my system, and I don’t know if it was the fact that I was a foreigner, or If he just assumed I was drinking. It was very obvious that this guy hated his job. He was the most rude and disrespectful bartender I’ve met in my life. I would have given this bar 5 stars easily, but because of this guys attitude I had to lower it.

The appeal of this place is obviously the novelty of it! I’ve always wanted to go to the ice bar in the UK and had high expectations for this place since it’s in Prague. Our hostel held coupons that gave a second drink for free so we brought those with us. I think it cost around 220 korunas which includes a free drink. They give you ponchos to wear on top but i suggest bringing a scarf and your own jacket and gloves! The black gloves they provide are pretty thin and not very helpful. They had cool ice sculptures inside including a michael jackson and an ice DJ and ice throne! The bar itself is obviously fairly small, prob could not fit more than 12 people at a time. The drinks they offer are with Absolut vodka(orange juice, cranberry, and a blue one that looked way too sweet) They blast club EDM music and the entire experience is only 20MINUTES but i barely lasted! It was so freezing towards the end, once i took my pictures i just wanted to leave. Definitely worth at least trying once though if you’ve never been

Eine sehr gute Idee in der Mitte der Hitzewelle — 20 Minuten in –7 Grad, mit 3 Arten von Vodkagetränke, sowie Bier. Es ist etwas teurer als normal im Prag, aber es lohnt sich sicher. Es gibt auch Musik, und eine sehr coole Umgebung. Das einzige Problem ist, dass man gut vorbereitet sein sollte, weil im Shorts waren die 20 Minuten schon etwas lang, trotz die Parkas und Handschuhe die sie anbieten und die alkoholische getränke. Aber Kudos für die Idee!
