Once you enter, you need a poncho, gloves and then you get your drink, which you've paid for with the entrance fee. The drinks are a little sugary; perhaps you should just go for straight up vodka or akvavit. It was also a little empty when I was there in Late December. I'm sure it gets busier at certain times. The best part of this place is the ice sculptures. Each year they have artists craft new sculptures in ice. You can view them as you sip on your iced drink and sit on animal fur atop ice blocks. It's worth a visit for at least one drink.

We asked the doorman if the bar was open, but all he said was, Hodor. Charmed, I 'm sure, I replied. After that enchanting exchange, we opened the door and PRESTO, we managed to walk in all on our own. There were few other humans or White Walkers inside, though that was no problem. We came for the party, but we brought the fun. SIM SALA BIM! We each paid the $25 entrance fee, which could not be waived with a wand, but at least it included one free drink token. Our instructions were then handed to us in envelopes hermetically sealed and kept in a mayonnaise jar since noon that day. Sign your life away in vanishing ink and off you go, they stated. There was no fine print regarding vows to defend the wall, but we took the black anyway in the form of warm, medieval cloaks. We then conjured up some gloves, popped some chill pills, and transported ourselves via portkey into the frozen tomb. All about priorities, we bellied up to the bar and ordered, A LA PEANUT BUTTER SANDWICHES! POOF! Krekling Arctic Crowberry Frost materialized, served in glasses made of ice. The drink was pretty, super sweet, and Lady Olenna approved (poison stones cost extra). As our drinks slipped about on the icy tables, some guy named Jon passed by, mumbled something about winter coming, and then walked off. You know nothing, Jon Snow, we soberly answered back. Feeling refreshed, we checked out the mesmerizing ice art around the room. The sculptures were all delightfully silly to take selfies with and helped to break the ice with strangers. Some of the art was interactive, leaving spaces in which to stick in your face, with or without a frozen expressions. We particularly enjoyed the ice Scream sculptures, which were cheeky nods to Munch and Dairy Queen. But the Pièce de résistance was the majestic ice throne in the center of the bar, sans icy Lannisters. Madonna 's Vogue was playing at one point, so we played a little Game of Pose to decide who would win the coveted crowning. We spent less than an hour in the bar and decided in our mystical and borderline divine way that we needed to leave once we lost feeling in our faces and sandal-clad feet. Overall this was a fun experience, but once was enough hocus pocus for me. Just when I think I 'm gonna get away, I hear those words that you always say Abra-abra-cadabra, I want to reach out and grab ya! (Steve Miller Band)

They give you ice shot glasses which are awesome. The ice coat was something I had never seen before. The drinks were not that expensive. The staff and bartenders were cool! They even gave me directions to different parts of Oslo. Afterwards, I went to the gift shop and purchased a shot glass shaped like an ice shot glass to show my friends back home! I would recommend this bar to anyone that is exploring the area or just want to have a nice relaxing time!

We went to the Magic Ice Bar at a really odd time, mid afternoon on a weekday and had the place entirely to ourselves for about an hour which was amazing in itself! It eventually began to fill up and we welcomed the additional company. When you enter the storefront you're giving an amazingly warm cape with a hood as well as gloves. Entrance cost includes 1 drink per person at the bar, we went with the house drink which I believe was a wine? Whatever it was it was yummy. Drinks were even served out of ice glasses. The artwork around the bar was probably the most interesting feature as it apparently changes often. Plenty of room to sit down and enjoy your drinks, although overall the bar was really really small.
