So my close friend and I were super pumped to go to Minus 5 . . . We were worried about a crowd because it seemed so cool. We arrived and the team was super nice and engaged!
We walked up to the counter and we were presented with a very touristy list of options . . . We selected the "most popular" one.
Please be prepared to separate from your phones . . . We placed our phones in a locker (no selfie action allowed - Revenue leakage) . . . Totally unexpected but we went with the flow. The hostess provided coats and gloves.
When we got to the back, we were the only guests (I am sure it was because it was about 6PM). They have a full bar but we ordered the specialty drinks (two drinks were included in the package) . . . We didn't like the mojito drink (too sweet and didn't actually taste like a mojito), the other drink had a cherry vodka in it and was pretty tasty. The room was made of complete ice including the cups we were drinking out of.
Shortly after arriving in the bar area the photographer came in the back for a photo session. We finished our drinks while listening to the bartender tell stories . . . At first it seemed friendly but then it started to feel intrusive (perhaps he was bored) . . . All he needed was a drink and he would have been a guest like my friend and I.
Very touristy experience . . It wasn't what I expected.
