Brand New ICE BAR in Montevideo!

Getting a 7 degrees below zero Vodka drink sounds interesting, innovative and great fun. 
The spring started but some people still want to enjoy a bit more of the winter time.

The new Ice Bar is opening soon at the Victoria Plaza Hotel, one of the best five star hotels in the city.
Spanish investors brought this innovation to the city, expecting to create a new form of tourism, atracting people from all over the world and especially from the big neighbour cities like Buenos Aires and Sao Paulo. This new ice bar is supposed to exceed people expectatives and make a difference among other ice bars around the world.

The bar has been constructed with 180 ice blocks of 50 to 90 cms width. Its amazing decoration includes LED ilumination, wide screen tv, webcams, and a giant ice sculpture from the "Quijote de la mancha".

Regarding drinks, the star is the Vodka since it only gets frozen at over 67 degrees.
The bar also offers beer, special drinks, juices among others, which are kept at special temperature.

To access this amazing atraction, entry ticket is only $350 uruguayan pesos or $17.5 dollars which also include a gift drink. Supporting the below 6 degrees cold is not a problem, vodka and others' alcohol high graduation drinks are a solution but not the only one. Visitors will be provided with the needed apparel.
