An ice bar, sometimes associated with an ice hotel is a drinking establishment primarily made of ice. The bars usually contain ice sculptures and other formations and are kept at low temperatures to hinder melting. Mostly a novelty, the ice bar is often considered a tourist destination. The Icebar in Orlando is the first and largest permanent ice bar in America. The ice sculptures are created by a Master Carver who has won awards in the international Ice Carving Olympics and also in Harbin, China at the worlds largest ice festival. Made from over 50 tons of ice, the interior features a crystal palace with throne, fireplace, sofa and chairs all carved into exquisite designs. The cocktails are served in glasses molded from clear ice and are a special design created by a local supplier. The Absolut Ice Bar in Stockholm, Sweden serves drinks in fist-sized hollow ice cubes, and the barmaid plunks them down on a bar made of clear ice blocks. The walls and tables are also built with ice harvested from the Torne River on the border between Sweden and Finland. The ice bar and its frozen furnishings are rebuilt every six months. The Abcolut Ice Bar in London only permanent bar made of ice and is kept at minus 5 degress all year round. Everything inside is made out of crystal clear ice harvested especially from the frozen Torne River in Jukkasjarvi, Northern Sweden. The ice bar is usually located in colder regions around the world, as it is easier to keep the ice stable in frigid temperatures. Some ice bars are also located in larger cities all over the world including Barcelona, Honningsvåg, Monterrey, Mexico City, Montevideo, Panama City, Orlando, Amsterdam, London, Lyon, Paris, Athens, Rhodes, Saint Tropez, Seoul, Hong Kong, Mumbai, SOHO Square, Sharm El Sheikh, Saint-Petersburg, New Delhi, Koh Samui, Tokyo, Thailand, Copenhagen, Budapest and Dubai, as the cost of upkeep can be sustained by its many patrons.
