<title>Chill On: Melbourne's First Ice Bar</title>
<link>http://www.trifter.com/Asia-&amp;-Pacific/Australia/Chill-On-Melbournes-First-Ice-Bar.74574</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p>Yeah imagine a bar where you go in and they give you a jacket, gloves, and scarf to wear because the temperatures are sub-zero inside.   Now why would you want to do that?  What if I told you it was because it was 100F outside?  Would that change your mind?</p>
 
<p>&amp;ldquo;Chill On,&amp;rdquo; is Melbourne, Australia's first ice bar.  The hot sizzling temperatures outside make the inside feel much more enjoyable.  At $30AU per adult and $15AU per child (before 6pm kids are allowed in) the price includes gear to keep you warm while you're inside.</p>
 
<p>You're only allowed to enjoy your stay for 30 minutes and are given a buzzer when your time is up.</p>
 
<p>Your drinks are on ice, literally.  The glasses you drink from are frozen ice, imagine that!</p>
