Taking the concept of the chill-out room to a new extreme, the bar is built from ice and has an average temperature of -5°C.
You'd get terrible goose bumps - not to mention frostbite - in that skimpy party dress.
It's fair to say the freezing air will turn your nose scarlet before you've even had a drink.
But the chilly atmosphere is a must, because even the bar and glasses are carved out of ice. Guests to the Absolut Icebar in London, which opens tomorrow, pay £12 for a 45-minute drinks session, which includes a hearty slug of vodka.
And, if you do favour revealing partywear when you hit London's first permanent ice bar, fear not - insulated cloaks and black suede gloves are provided.
The ice bar is part of a new venue in the West End, which will also house a restaurant. Guests enter the frozen area through an ai rlocked doorway.
The 8m sq ice room has walls, seatingand a bar carved from ice imported-from Sweden's River Torne, 500km inside the Arctic Circle.
The Absolut Icebar is located at 29-33 Heddon Street, W1. Tel: 020 7478 8910.
