I'd heard about the CHILL Ice Lounge. It opened last year and I've been wanting to check it out ... so Gord and I did this evening.
Admission is $20 (less if you are a senior or a kid). A year's membership is $50.
The temperature in the lounge is -5C/23F so you are given a parka and gloves.
Yes, it was cold and the parkas were needed! There are a couple ice rooms in the lounge. Right now they have a Game of Thrones theme. Needless to say, our rum 'n Cokes were always cold!
There is a warm lounge in the back (the speakeasy) where you can warm up (you can bypass the ice lounge and go down the alley directly to the speakeasy). We had another couple of rum 'n Cokes and watched some of the ball game. They have a piano player on the weekends who entertains.
Gresham, the owner, was tending bar. He was friendly and we had a great chat with him.
It's a fun thing to check out!
