We had so much fun in here, lovely staff, chatted to the Irish bar lady for ages. Very cool thing to do, great sculptures. Highly recommend
We visited Minus 5 in Queenstown and found it to be a fun novelty experience, but probably a one-time thing. The space was smaller than expected, and the number of people in our session made it hard to move around without being bumped into. Once we finished our drink, we felt ready to leave. Worth a quick visit if you’re curious
The cocktails were really good!! Everything is made of ice - even the cups! Surprisingly I wasn’t that cold in there even though it’s literallly freezing. I wasn’t sure if wanted to go but really glad I did. Loved all the ice sculptures and the bar, it’s a really cool place to visit. We were in there comfortably (with jackets, beanies and gloves) for about 40 mins. Your ticket also give you free entry into the bigger ice bar which was cool so we visited both. I personally preferred the smaller one but both worth a look. The jackets and gloves were provided free of charge. I would go back again.
