Enjoy a drink surrounded by more than 30 tons of carved ice. Everything within the Ice Lounge is made of ice - from the bar to lean against, the couch to lounge on, even the glass you drink from! Guests are provided with ski jackets, gloves and woolen boots so they are kept warm and comfortable within Melbourne’s coolest space.

We had a little trouble finding the bar but it was worth the extra effort. We all couldnt stop smiling the whole time we were inside. Staff super friendly (kiwi chap on reception) and went the extra mile to make experience fun. More

We recently visited Chill on and had purchased a scoopon voucher which entitled us (2ppl) entry into the Chill bar for 30mins + 1 cocktail each + 3 course meal + a bottle of wine for $99. So for us it worked out to be a great deal. We stayed only 10mins in the chill bar as it does get... More

Located up the stairs with a great view of the city and river the Chill Bar has a lounge and the opportunity to experience the ice bar. For a $50 fee you can get an alcoholic shot and cocktail in the ice room and spend up to 30min inside (restrictions due to health). This package also includes a photo in... More

We went to the Ice Lounge on 30/1/2012 it was a rare hot day in Melbourne and it was a really cool place to visit. So cool we did not stay for the 30 minutes allocated. We enjoyed a drink surrounded by more than 50 tonnes of carved ice. Everything within the Ice Lounge is made of ice, the bar... More

Our 15 year daughter loved this. Experiencing such cold temperatures was something very different for us. We had fun getting dressed up in the big "unattractive" coats and gloves and then trying to hold our ice glasses while trying to drink our fruit drinks was interesting. The fruit drinks did taste good despite the fact that they looked very ordinary... More

An interesting little spot in Melbourne; quite fun for a few minutes for those not used to sub zero climates/experiences. The reception staff were not exactly enthusiastic - a pity. I felt a bit 'processed' despite the fact that we were early and there was no rush. They kitted us in warm poncho type tops, gloves, socks and ugg boots.... More

We quite enjoyed this experience. It was something a little bit more grown up for teenagers. They supply you with jackets and gloves and into the price you get a chioce of a cocktail and Mocktails for under 18's. The glasses were made of ice as was all the furniture in the bar. Quite small and not much to do... More

I thought the experience was OK - for $40 per person, we got entry for 30 minutes, plus a shot and a cocktail. Before you go in, they rug you up in a big cape and ugg boots. Then you go into a room that looks like an extra large walk in freezer that has a few underwater creature sculptures,... More
