Ice Lounge is a place one visits for the experience rather thanrnthe food and beverages. The entire place is divided into parts.rnThere is the regular bar where the food and drinks are served.The other part is the 'Ice Lounge' itself. An ice sculpture of arnsaree clad woman doing namaste greets you to the -10rndegrees celsius bar which has been designed by Julian Bailey.rnThe entire bar is made of 30 tonnes of imported ice, includingrnthe tiger sculpture, the ice sofas, the bar top and the glassesrnas well. Entry to the Ice Lounge is 1000/person or 1500/couplernwhich includes either one vodka cocktail(as vodka is the onlyrnalcohol that doesn't freeze in subzero conditions) or twornmocktails. The Ice Special Cocktail as well as the mocktail byrnthe same name are unique and well made. Even with the capernand gloves that they provide a regular person will be able tornendure the place for about 30-40 minutes. For food its betterrnif you head out to the other places in what now has primarilyrnbecome a 'food mall', but if you must eat here you have tornhead back to the regular bar. For the non-vegetarians thernNashila Murgh Tikka and the Chicken Shawarma Wrap complementrnthe drinks well and vegetarians should stick to thernHummus with pita bread and the Crispy Honey Chilly LotusrnRoots. The bartender does a good job with the experimentalrnshooters like Spice Buster, a vodka, sambuca and tobascornshooter as well as the Virgin Mojito. DJ Shail will keep yourrnfoot tapping with a good mix of house and commercial musicrnand the restaurant manager Mr.Ajay Dogra is welcoming inrnhis approach. Wednesdays are Ladies Nights where they getrnfree IMFL from 8pm to 12am.rnHAPPY HOURS: 4pm to 8pm
