About Xtracold Icebar

The experience is split into two distinct zones rather than one continuous bar. The warm front bar functions as the check-in and first-drink lounge, then the visit shifts through a coat-and-gloves handout into the –10°C chamber with ice furniture and ice glasses. That staged layout, plus the Willem Barentsz expedition theme, gives the attraction more structure than a standard walk-in bar.

Why visit Xtracold Icebar?

Drink in a –10°C ice chamber

The main chamber is kept at –10°C and forms the core of the attraction. Visitors spend up to 20 minutes inside a frozen room with ice furniture, ice glasses, and two included drinks.

Get a three-drink format across two bar spaces

Admission is more structured than simple entry. The ticket includes one drink in the warm front bar and two drinks in the ice chamber, so the experience combines a lounge-style start with a short cold-room segment.

Fit a defined 45-minute stop into your plan

A typical visit lasts about 45 minutes in total, with up to 20 minutes in the actual ice chamber. That fixed runtime suits travelers who want a short, timed attraction rather than an open-ended bar night.

Follow a staged Willem Barentsz expedition theme

The operator frames the visit around Willem Barentsz and a polar-expedition narrative. Moving from the warm tavern-like front bar into the frozen chamber gives the attraction a clearer story structure than a standard themed bar.

Visit a central address near Rembrandtplein and Waterlooplein

The venue stands at Amstel 194-196 in central Amsterdam, near Rembrandtplein and Waterlooplein transit stops. Its location makes it easy to pair with a canal cruise, sightseeing route, or evening plan.

Plan your visit

Main entrance

The ground-floor main door at Amstel 194-196 is the entry point for all visitors. Show your mobile ticket or reservation here for validation before entering the front bar waiting area. Wheelchair users may use this main door. The entrance itself is step-free, although the ice chamber later has a separate step inside the venue.

We went without high expectations and loved it. It's an absolute must-visit if you go to Amsterdam; we especially liked the booth where you could dance and the hall of mirrors. We highly recommend it!

Amaze was great—it wasn't always clear at first, but after that it was incredible! The effects and sound are perfectly balanced—not too much, not too little—and the staff is friendly. We got to keep the wristband as a souvenir, and even the wait was enjoyable thanks to the bar, the little activities, and the overall atmosphere. I highly recommend it.

The ever changing, always suberb Rijksmuseum never ceases to conjour up awe and wonder as the jewel in the crown of the world's very best museum quarter. Usually impossible to get into at short notice without needing a second mortgage, we booked 14hrs before our excellent crowd beating 9am entry slot via the always suberb Headout.com. All at ~70% of the usual fee. Would reuse in a New York heart beat, cannot recommend highly enough.

We had no expectations for both, but they were wow and 100% worth it. The Heineken experience blew our minds. 😁🤯 The Ice bar is really extremely cold 🥶, but you can survive 10-15 minutes. The drinks were very tasty.

I really enjoyed the canal cruise! What I appreciated the most was that there wasn’t an overload of information, so I could simply relax and enjoy the beautiful views of the city. I also noticed right away that the windows were perfectly clean, which made a huge difference. My first canal cruise experience was during the Light Festival with another company, and unfortunately the windows were so dirty that I could barely see anything outside. This time, the view was crystal clear, and it made the whole experience so much more enjoyable. Thank you for such a wonderful experience. I would definitely recommend this cruise to others!

The captain was THE highlight! With his many additional comments and funny anecdotes in English, he was a big hit with my kids (teenagers) too. We learned a few things about Amsterdam that you definitely won’t find in any guidebook.
