- 3
- drinks included
It's a bar kept at −10 °C (14 °F), where the drinks come in glasses made of ice. It is at Amstel 194, on the Amstel river.
Your ticket includes three drinks. The first is a cocktail or a beer in the warm sailor's tavern. The other two are ice-cold shots or beers inside the Icebar.
The GetYourGuide ticket lists vodka, sambuca, rum, Heineken beer and orange juice. There is no food.
How long you stay, and what to wear
Plan on about 20 minutes in the ice room, then as long as you like in the warm front bar.
The Icebar advises against shorts, skirts, dresses and open shoes.
You get a coat and gloves. Wear long pants and closed shoes.
Icebar Amsterdam tickets and time slots
Book a time slot: the Icebar often fills up, mostly at weekends, and walk-ins are not guaranteed.
The Icebar's own prices vary by time slot. A summary of its site gives about €24.50 to €28 a person, but its ticket pages show no price, so check when you book.
Last entry is 40 minutes before closing.
| Day | Open |
|---|---|
| Sunday to Thursday | 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. |
| Friday | 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. |
| Saturday | 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. |
Is Xtracold Icebar Amsterdam worth it? Our review
Yes, if you treat it as a three-drink bar stop with a twist, not as a big attraction.
On GetYourGuide, the plain ticket has a rating of 4.2 from 16,297 reviews.
In our view, it works best as one stop on a night out. If you want a long visit, pick something else: the cold part lasts about 20 minutes.
For a longer beer stop, the Heineken Experience takes about two hours with its rooftop ticket. It is 18+ too.
