The novelty and other-worldliness of the Nordic Sea Hotel’s Absolut Ice Bar attracts thousands of tourists, vacationers, and locals every year.
Of course, an igloo-like ice bar would have an extremely low temperature, that is why you would not find any scantily clad ladies and gentlemen in this bar.
