Want a drink with your ice?

Most bars serve the ice in a glass, but at Minus 5 the bar, the chairs, and even the glasses are made of ice. Guests are outfitted with survival gear prior to entering and can only stay for a maximum of 30 minutes, time enough to enjoy Minus 5's unique vodka based cocktail. You can sit (the ice couches are covered in deer skin) or stand. But watch out for the wild animal ice sculptures placed strategically around the lounge. They appear so life like that you have a sense that they are watching you. 

If this is what it's like at the Antarctic, send me there.

Established first in New Zealand, the Minus 5 bars are starting to creep around the globe. Currently, you can find them in New Zealand (Auckland and Queenstown), Australia (Gold Coast and Sydney), and the Caribbean (Grand Caymans). And the good news is that a new one will be opening in June in Las Vegas.
