Minus 5 ice bar in Sydney yet?
We will be in Auckland first before heading to Sydney for a few days, so we want to check out the ice bar there if the one in Sydney is not opened yet.
Thanks! Lauren |
Hi Lauren,
According to an article in todays Sydney paper the Ice Bar at Circular Quay is not due to open until September 1st at earliest. |
Hi Lauren
If you want to check out an ice bar and you are in Auckland, then go on down to the minus 5 bar on Princes Wharf. This is in an area called the Viaduct. It is in downtown so depending upon where you are staying it is probably walking distance. Minus 5 is next door to Lenin which is a vodka bar. http://www.minus5.co.nz/auckland.asp BTW there are around 50 bars and restaurants in the Viaduct basin. All tastes catered for from Italian to Irish, Seafood to Vege. A few clubs as well. Hope this helps. Steve |
I should have added that it opens at 10:30 AM if that is a help, hic

Fantastic - thanks for the info. We will definitely be heading to the one in Auckland while we're there!

For ignoramuses like me - what is it?

Hi Neil
You are not an ignoramous mate. (Now there was an opening for a Kiwi). Minus 5 is a bar wher it is literally 5 degrees below zero. You sit on blocks of ice at ice tables, whilst knocking back some very nice (and very cold) cocktails. The staff monitor you quite closely. Not a good look for a punter to get hypothermia whilst on the premises. In case you were wondering, all winter clothing is provided. Cheers (never been more apt) Steve |
Well, Steve, I did leave myself open there - just wasn't thinking I guess. This has revealed a real masochistic streak in our cousins across the Tasman. Count me out - today's weather in Canberra (maximum of 9, snow on the hills and maybe lower down) is close enough for me, thanks.
