Absolut Ice Bar

Last Monday night, we were fortunate enough to be admitted into London's exclusive Absolut Ice Bar for a whole forty-five minutes. Kept at a soul-withering -5 degrees Celsius (or about 23 degrees Fahrenheit), the entire bar, including tables, chairs, walls and glasses, is made of ice imported from Sweden or some equally cold nation. No time was wasted as we quickly collected our drinks and set about taking pictures, fiddling with our capes, and placing bets to see who would be the first to get their tongue stuck on any of the surfaces of the bar. When our "time slot" was finished and we were unceremoniously booted out like the riffraff that we are, I was actually relieved to step out into usually frosty London as it was about 15 degrees warmer outside!

Snowbunnies!
(note the blocks of ice in our hands are our glasses!)
