The Icebar in London

I just thought that I needed to write a post about this fantastic bar that is part of the Ice Hotel in Sweden...if your a Bond fanatic like me you'll already know that there were rumours at the time of 'Die Another Day' that parts of the filming at the Ice Hotel was actually built specifically for the film.

Anyhew...this Below Zero Bar was just one of the venues that I had for my 21st Birthday. All the ice in here was shipped it says from Northern Sweden....and it is at temmperatures of -7 degrees C...brrrr!

If you want to see the website here is the link below:

This is what it looks like outside in Mayfair...you would never guess that is was a winter wonderland inside or that as it is sooo cold inside you get given blue fur trimmed insulated ponchos that are thrown on you by two members of staff with gloves attached...these you need to wear so you can drink your drink as these are in ice cubes:

 

If you pay a visit to this bar you really should choose the Mojito on the premixed cocktail list...just be careful of the London Calling cocktail as it may be a little bit too sweet for all of you who have a sweet tooth...but if you like pomegranite then you should try this.

Oh, I forgot to mention that as this bar is so cold as soon as you get in there is an automatic clock that is started as soon as you enter...this clock counts down to 40mins as this is all the time you are allowed...and as you can imagine all the walls are ice....just thinking about this makes me think that you could be forgiven for thinking that you were inside the Batman and Robin villian Dr. Ice (again, if you are not a fanatic like me there will probably be rolls of dust blowing through as you'll have no idea what this is...well I'll fill in the blanks. In Batman and Robin where George Clooney is Batman and Chris O'Donnel is Robin and you have Bane, Uma Thurman as Poison Ivy and Arnold Schwarzenegger as a doctor of genetics that was working on a cure for his wife who gets diagnosed with a obscure genetic wasting disease McGreggers Sydrome, but as he'd doing that an electrical surge at his lab causes him to fall into a vat of water that was at below 0 but he survived as his body needs diamonds or cystals to put into a special suit that keeps him alive).

So if your ever in need of a place or venue to hire or go for a bit of fun then I'd advise this venue...or the other venue I used for a birthday treat...Nobu Restaurant in Berkley Street, London.

Well...you only live once don't you!
