Ice bar

The bars usually contain ice sculptures and other formations and are kept at low temperatures (generally about −5 °C) to hinder melting.

Mostly a novelty, the ice bar is often considered a tourist destination.

Visitors enter for timed stays and even staff work on time-limited shifts.

[citation needed] Some ice bars are also located in larger cities all over the world including Boston, Honningsvåg, Norway, Barcelona, Monterrey, Mexico City, Montevideo, Panama City, Las Vegas, Nevada, Orlando, Amsterdam, London, New York City, Paris, Rhodes, Lyon and Saint-Tropez, France, Seoul, Hong Kong, Mumbai, Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, Beirut, Lebanon, Saint Petersburg, New Delhi, Koh Samui, Thailand, Tokyo, Stockholm, Surfers Paradise, Australia, Budapest, Bratislava, Antipolo, Philippines, and Dubai, as the cost of upkeep can be sustained by its many patrons.

Icebar Orlando is the world's largest permanent ice bar, at over 1,200 square feet.
