Step into a sub-zero escape right in the heart of Surfers Paradise, IceBar isn’t your average night out. Kept at a frosty -10°C, this icy playground is carved almost entirely from ice, from the glowing sculptures to the bar itself. Don’t stress about the chill though, you’ll be kitted out in snow capes, gloves and boots before stepping inside, cocktail in hand and ready to embrace the freeze.
Inside, it’s equal parts novelty and nightlife. Think expertly crafted cocktails served in ice glasses, immersive light displays bouncing off frozen walls, and a steady stream of energy that makes it feel more like an experience than just a bar. Whether you’re popping in for a pre-dinner drink or making a night of it, there’s something undeniably fun about sipping cocktails while your breath fogs in front of you.
Perfect for date nights, group hangs or when you’re chasing something a little different on the Gold Coast, IceBar delivers a cool (literally) twist on the usual Surfers scene. It’s one of those spots you have to try at least once, and let’s be honest, it makes for some pretty iconic content while you’re at it.
