If you thought you could never be in 007 a.k.a. Pierce Brosnan’s place when he coolly sips a Martini from a glass made of ice while sitting in a bar created entirely out of ice in the hit 2002 movie ‘Die Another Day’, re-work those brain cells and think again. Delhi has been blessed with its first authentic Ice Bar in India – Ice Lounge. Mirage Entertainment – the firm behind the Ice Lounge got the world’s best ice carvers who crafted and installed 35 tonnes of crystal clear ice imported from Canada. Puneet Tayal - one of the partners in this ambitious quest (which is now a reality) says, “Ice Lounge, Delhi would have more lightning effects and sound than any other Ice Bar in the World. Honestly, the endeavor is to make people believe that we have actually created World’s finest Ice Bar.” Ice Lounge has also benchmarked its sound, lights, ice sculptures, area and Vodka cocktail menu with the best Ice Bars in the World.

There is an entry charge of Rupees 1,000 which includes a complimentary cocktail in an ice glass and stag entry is allowed as well. Customers are provided with special thinsulated jackets and hand gloves before entering the Ice Bar. No food is served inside and alcohol will be restricted to Vodka and Vodka based cocktails as it’s the only alcoholic drink with a freezing temperature of -65 degrees. There will, however, be a regular restaurant lounge coupled with the Ice Bar where food and drinks will be doled out. One can savor and appreciate Oriental, Continental and Lebanese cuisines along with drinks in the restaurant. One has to make a smooth transition from being in an almost another realm kind-of ice lounge to the restaurant as an average person can take the cold for a maximum of 40 minutes inside the ice bar.
