Put on a parka, drink from a glass carved out of ice, then warm up in a Fire Lounge with no cover. Here’s what a late night at ICEBAR on International Drive costs and when it goes 21+.

The cold room
The ICEBAR itself is kept at 22 degrees and built from more than 70 tons of hand-carved ice, from the sculptures to the seats to the glass your cocktail comes in. Entry includes a thermal coat and gloves, and ICEBAR lists complimentary photography as part of the visit. Only about a quarter of the building is below freezing, so you’re never far from a normal-temperature room.
The warm room
The Fire Lounge is the room-temperature half of the building, with DJs, dancing, VIP bottle service and a full menu. ICEBAR says there’s no cover there, special events excluded. The cocktail list mostly runs $13.50 to $16, including a smoked old fashioned and a tequila espresso martini. Signature shots are $10 to $11.
If you’re hungry after 11, the food menu covers late-night basics: eight wings for $15.50, parmesan truffle fries for $12.50, flatbreads from $14.50 to $16, slider trios and warm donut-hole “snowball bites” for $11.
Nights on the calendar
ICEBAR’s events page lists recurring theme nights through November. Thursdays are TRL: Throwback Request Live, Fridays are Fired Up Friday and Sundays are Sunday Sessions. Check the calendar before a special event night, since those are the nights the Fire Lounge can carry a cover.
Before you go
- Dress code: Dressy casual, resort casual or nightclub attire. ICEBAR doesn’t allow athletic wear, beachwear, tank tops or muscle tees for men, or backpacks, and it suggests closed-toe shoes for the ice room.
- Packages: The ICEBAR Experience Package ($34 online) adds an ultra-premium ICEBAR drink and a Fire Lounge signature cocktail to your entry. Sunday through Thursday from 5 to 9 p.m., the $25 Florida Freeze happy-hour package covers entry, a premium ICEBAR drink and an appetizer.
- Parking: There’s a free lot behind the building, and the Pointe Orlando garage is nearby.
Making a night of it in the tourist corridor? Over at Disney’s BoardWalk, Hurly-Burly turns 21+ with live music after 9 p.m.
Why We’re Hyped
Most late nights on I-Drive end at a sports bar or a hotel lobby bar. This one comes with a story, drinks at 22 degrees, and since the Fire Lounge has no cover, the ice room is the only part you pay to get into.
