Chill On is officially Melbourne's coolest bar! Its an Ice Bar. Its bloody freezing (around -10 degrees) but ever so cool.
When you arrive, you pay and put on the jacket and gloves provided. You then enter the ice chamber.
Everything is made of ice (within reason), from the couch, to the walls, to the glasses, to the thrown, to the carved ice sculptures. There's two areas: the lounge and the bar. At the bar you collect your free drink and can buy more. Ours was a tropical cocktail in an ice glass and you can also do shooters from an ice shottie or through the gun.
It is strictly a bar. There's music from the video clip TV system but you're not going to dance much (except maybe to keep warm). The crowd age varies enormously - its not like a club - but that's not a bad thing.
Its a real experience.
You can only stay in the ice chamber for 30 minutes, but that's enough. Afterwards you can go and thaw out upstairs.
It costs $30 (inc 1 drink) but that's pretty good value for such an experience. We did it for a birthday party with 10 people which was perfect. You have to go and try it out for yourself.
