Miami Beach
is one hot metropolis, but it will get cooler when the city's first vodka ice
bar opens across the street from the Delano in May.
Drinkhouse
Fire & Ice (1672 Collins Ave, Miami Beach) is part ice bar, part fire
lounge. It seeks to bring an experience to Miami unlike anything else around.
"If you've ever been to an ice bar, be it in Amsterdam, New York, or
Vegas, you know how touristy they can be," says cofounder Nicole
Pritchett. "You walk through a room where you can buy hats and scarves
typically, and it's very Disneyland. We're flipping that model on its
head."
An experiential
fire cocktail lounge will be a place where you can try handcrafted and bizarre
libations with, yes, real fire components. The ice bar, will be a bit more
tourist-driven. " Here, you'll be able to sip cocktails from unique and
cool (pun intended) glassware in a smoky and mystical setting that will also
boast original photography by world-renowned landscape photographer Peter Lik,
whose most expensive print sold for a whopping $6.5 million.
Reservations
will be available every 30 to 45 minutes, and admission for the ice-bar
experience alone costs $17 or $34 with two drinks (other packages will also be
available). Dancers and performers, like the queen of PLUR, Lady Casa, will
make the experience interactive while evoking the same spiritual feel that
Pritchett and Drinkhouse are going for. "By no means are we trying to
shove this down anyone's throat, but it's just what we believe in and want to
be able to share that with the world.
