Amidst a slew of average reviews, I had low expectations for this place. There's a lesson here: set your standards low so you'll only exceed them. And that's exactly what happened with CHILL Ice House. A lot of folks complaining about the ice room being small and underwhelming. Actually found the ice room to be fairly big - certainly bigger than my expectations. Beautiful, lovely sculptures, ice air hockey, two ice booths with fur seat covers. Everything here is legit made out of ice! Staff working the front was very nice. Manager serving the shots, not as much but she was fine. She left us unattended in the room after she served us the shots. With the Groupon, you get up to 6 folks entry to the ice room with a complimentary ice shot... i.e. sugary soda pop (but tasty) in a cool ice shot glass mold. We weren't allowed to get 6 shots even though only 5 of us came. You also get gloves and a large overcoat that you top over your existing winter jacket. Didn't think I needed it, but it got really quite cold after ten or so minutes! I think we spent around 15 minutes altogether, -5°C in there. There's a "normal" temperature bar connected to it, fashioned in a rustic whimsical way. Very cute and cozy with ample seating as well. Think this bar atmosphere would work really great as a standalone, but it's kind of a shame that it's missed under the more gimmick-y "ice room". Didn't order any drinks there, but enjoyed the quiet, near-empty atmosphere. Still, both parts were great to kill an hour. Groupon price was a really good deal, very content with it. Don't think I will be back even as the bar as itself was pretty cool. The ice room is definitely a try-once kind of thing. Would recommend this highly!

If you're looking for a unique night out, this is an interesting one. You're in a -4 degree freezer for the first bit. Bring gloves for sure, they do provide a parka but it's not the cutest. You won't actually spend much time in there after you finish all your photo taking. There's a warm room afterwards which has a cozy cabin type atmosphere - this is where you can get more comfortable. Definitely worth at least one visit.

Really unique experience. There are two rooms; a hot and cold room. Both are rather small. The cold room is really cool, no pun intended. From the ice sculptures to the shots made of ice this is a place to see.

Really cool bar, I loved how everything was made of ice from the air hockey table to seats etc. Went on a Sunday and it was not busy. Got treated good by the staff, just a lot smaller than I thought it would be.

I'm being generous in awarding 3 stars as this place is NOTHING like what you see in YouTube videos. It is virtually empty inside and basically is a walkin freezer. Makes one feel like you're about to get whacked by the mob. Lol 😂 The environment is pretty nice though and a good place for crowds aged 25 to 35. I heard that Saturday nights are quite the party just expect to be disappointed with the ice house part of it as more of a gimmick than anything else.

Great bar tucked away down am alley. Has a traditional bar and then the ice part which is like a sea container adorned with glass walls, furniture and entertainment.

Have been twice. Once for a work event and once for another event. The ice bar is neat for about 5 minutes and then we were all over it. It’s a pretty small room and they didn’t actually serve us any drinks there. So you sort of just stand around and take a few pictures which was pretty disappointing. I was anticipating cold drinks served in ice glasses. The bar at the back is cute - a cabin-like feel. I’m not sure how much “cover” would typically be, but I wouldn’t recommend it if you have to pay to get in. I suspect the ice bars in Montreal are much better.

Great service, unique experience. It was super awesome in the "chill" area, and super cozy in the warm area. Neat concept, I've never been to a bar like it. Also the guy working the front admission area was really great. Super friendly, funny and gave lots of information about the area for us to explore. Definitely worth the experience.

Went to an event last night at this very cool (pun intended) bar that served drink in frozen ice glasses in fact the whole place is made of ice, chairs, bar even the DJ booth. The place was a fun adventure in the city. They also had a large back room area that was warm, where we hung out for the rest of the night. Interesting concept, an ice bar.

We came too early, apparently starts getting fun at 7pm. But the staff was very friendly and accommodating. Really cool ice sculptures. I don't know if it actually closes at 1 am? Would have gone back later but wasn't sure.

Was here for NYE. Innovative concept and interesting decors. Some bar games options like foosball and table curling(?) to keep you entertained. The backroom is well decorated and felt quite cosy. Was packed on New Year’s Eve.

My favourite place to visit when in Toronto! Always a fun time, the staff is super friendly and I loved the fondue!
