Minus 5


“Minus 5” is a vodka bar in Sydney’s Circular Quay built entirely of ice! Visitors stay for only 30 minutes at a time, that being the maximum time the body can endure the bar’s chilly minus 5 degree temperature.

Everything is made of ice – the walls, the seats, even the glasses you drink from. Guests are given sheepskin lined jackets, gloves and boots to wear while in the bar.

Minus 5 even host team building days. A work team have the opportunity to build an ice sculpture or solve the mystery of “The Rescue of Catalina Pasquale”.

The bar is constructed from 46,000 litres of cold water. The ice is imported from Canada as they have high density ice there which holds is shape longer. Minus 5 recycles the water for the use of watering office plants in Sydney’s CBD.
