You'll feel as if you're drinking at Elsa's palace at Hiverside, a frozen pop-up bar sculpted entirely of ice.

Riverside St-Henri in Montreal has created a magical ice bar where you can literally chill all evening in an atmosphere of festive greenery, warm glowing lights and all-things-ice like you've never seen.

You can drink in this sculpted winter bar from Thursday through Sunday, as of December 10, 2021. The three seating time slots begin at 7 p.m., 9 p.m. and 11 p.m., allowing you to enjoy for an hour and a half.

Inside the seats are covered by recycled fur wraps to sit on and help keep you keep cozy, but remember everything is frozen so dress warmly.

Here you can drink holiday cocktails, both hot and cold, that you ordered from an ice bar while sitting on ice benches, relaxing at an ice table, surrounded by decorations ice. It's truly all made from ice!

Some of the boozy beverages you can try are a Cotton Candy Spritz, Granny's Pear-fect Toddy or a Feeling Pine Mulled Wine.

It's suggested to make a reservation or call ahead to ensure there is room for you. It is $60 per person, which includes three cocktails.
