[edit]Ice bars
[edit]An ice bar, sometimes associated with an ice hotel is a drinking establishment primarily made of ice. The bars usually contain ice sculptures and other formations and are kept at low temperatures (generally about -5 °C) to hinder melting. The walls and seating are also usually made of ice. Mostly a novelty, the ice bar is often considered a tourist destination.
Public houses
[edit]A pub, also referred to as "public house", is a house licensed to sell alcohol to the general public. It is a drinking establishment in Britain,[6][7] Ireland,[8] New Zealand, Canada, and Australia.[9] In many places, especially in villages, a pub is the focal point of the community. Samuel Pepys described the pub as the heart of England.
