Grab your comrades and come down to the lower eastside for a unique bar and music experience unlike anything you've experience. You may or may not have been to an ice bar before, but instead of donning less than fashionable puffy coats, you and your friends will wear traditional Soviet military jackets and hats at Mehanata's Ice Cage. Once inside, you'll receive a shot glass made of ice, a plethora of vodkas to choose from, and 2 minutes to drink up to 6 shots - before your time is up and your shot glass melts in your hand. Beat the clock and yell "Opa!" as your troop knocks back drinks and goes back in time. Once you're out into the normal temperatures of Menahata's bar, dancing, gypsy music, food, hookah, and other surprises await for a party you'll never forget.
