Ice Club

Monti, Esquilino & San Lorenzo


Novelty value is what the Ice Club is all about. Pay €15 (you get a free vodka cocktail served in a glass made of ice), don a (completely unflattering) hospital-blue thermal cloak and mittens, and enter the bar, in which everything is made of ice (temperature: -5°C/23°F). Most people won’t chill here for too long. Extended hours in summer.
