ice carving secrets: Icebar Orlando

ice carving secrets: Icebar Orlando http://www.icecarvingsecrets.com/ics/ice_places/Pages/Icebar_Orlando.html Right along International Dr., near the massive Orange County Convention Center, you’ll find an ice bar just across a side street from the building that looks as if it’s been flipped upside-down. For more info, here’s the website for the club. Drinks and admission aren’t cheap, but few things in Orlando are anyway. It’s definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area. Incidentally, the ice bar is only part of Icebar Orlando. There’s a regular, room-temp bar too. The original blog entry introducing the gallery is here. one of several machined logos integrated into the ice walls http://www.icecarvingsecrets.com/ics/ice_places/Pages/Icebar_Orlando.html#0 ad22bd9e-0378-4fc5-8dc3-c0d25f721332 http://www.icecarvingsecrets.com/ics/ice_places/Pages/Icebar_Orlando_files/Media/icebar_logo_bear.jpg?derivative=thumb http://www.icecarvingsecrets.com/ics/ice_places/Pages/Icebar_Orlando_files/Media/icebar_logo_bear.jpg?derivative=micro
