A bar carved out of ice and winter-themed cocktails?

Montreal’s coolest destination is opening tonight and it’s going to be a winter wonderland.

In a city known for its epic nightlife—think best bars, hidden drinking dens and speakeasies and downtown pre-game spots—this ice bar by the Lachine Canal is the newest addition.

In addition to the ice palace vibes, “Hiverside” (Riverside’s winter alter-ego) will be serving up hot and cold cocktails, along with non-alcoholic mocktails

Expect drinks like the Cotton Candy Claus-mopolitan (Grey Goose, Cointreau, hibiscus infusion, lavender and cotton candy) thanks to a partnership with Grey Goose and Cointreau—all designed by Max Coubès.

Built and designed by Julien Doré, the ice sculptor of Quebec City's Hôtel de Glace, Hiverside is a similar one-of-a-kind winter experience (without having to drive all the way to Quebec City).

Check out the indoor ice bar, and the outdoor heated area. The entrance fee ($20) includes a welcome cocktail and (you guessed it) hand-warmers.
