This Ottawa Restaurant Is Opening A Winter Ice Bar With Boozy Cocktails & Wood-Fired Pizza

You can sip on Moose Milk or Polar Bear shots. 🄃

Even though the Winterlude festival is virtual this year, that doesn't mean you can't feel truly Canadian and celebrate the winter season in Ottawa.

The Grand Pizzeria and Bar is bringing back their ice bar and heated patio this week, and this year you can order pizza outside along with winter-themed cocktails.

The heaters and fire pits have already been added this week to the outdoor patio for you to go enjoy some drinks. As of Friday, January 28, the bar made of solid ice will return.

In addition to the very cool ice bar, there are standing heaters and gas fire pits to keep you warm, as well as sheepskins and blankets for ultimate coziness.

There will be a set menu of specialty drinks including peppermint white hot chocolate, Polar Bear shots, Mocha Martini, dark and stormy, and Moose Milk, as well as locally brewed Kichesippi beer. For the first time, you can also order their wood-fired pizza out on the patio!

The ice bar will be open Friday and Saturday until late and Sunday from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday evenings are extra special, since they have confirmed there will be live music between 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. by local musician Matt Chaffey. Music will play from outdoor speakers when live performances are not taking place.
