The Absolut Ice Bar

The Absolute Ice Bar in Jukkasjärvi probably enjoys more international fame than the trendiest bars in Stockholm. Twice mentioned in Newsweek as one of the most stunning bars in the world, it certainly leaves no-one cold.

At night, the bar is a natural meeting place for all those who are taking the plunge and spending the night in the Ice Hotel. Perhaps they feel the need for a little night-cap. They will encounter many nationalities in this truly cosmopolitan bar; the ever-present Japanese tourists as well as visitors from America, Great Britain, Germany, Spain, France, Poland and even South Africa.

Regulars at the Absolut Ice Bar may have met the Swedish Royal couple or the Irish President. Perhaps they’ve also rubbed shoulders with "supercool"-models Naomi Campbell or Kate Moss or the Swedish model Marcus Schenkenberg. Or the famous photographer Herb Ritts. Or the Swedish rock star Jennifer Brown. Or the American rock band Van Halen.

This year the Absolut Ice Bar will have been created for the fifth time. Just like the Ice Hotel, it is never the same two years running. There are always new features; this year there will be a beautiful ice wall and crystal-clear pillars made of ice.

Newly invented drinks based on Laplandic blueberry juice will be served out of specially designed glasses. They are made of ice, naturally, so there’s no need for ice cubes!
