Midnight Sun and Minus Degrees: Cool Down at ICEBAR by ICEHOTEL Copenhagen This Summer
PRESS RELEASE | Copenhagen, June 2026
As the summer warmth rolls over Copenhagen, ICEBAR BY ICEHOTEL Copenhagen invites tourists, cityfolks, and holidaymakers to the city’s most refreshing break. With a constant temperature of -5 degrees right on Strøget, the attraction is highlighting its popular signature drink, "Midnight Sun", to bring the arctic summer vibe to life.
From Torne River to Strøget: An Arctic Tale of the Midnight Sun The story behind ICEBAR Copenhagen traces its roots directly to Jukkasjärvi in Northern Sweden and the world-famous ICEHOTEL. While the summer months in Lapland are intimately connected with the Midnight Sun – the natural phenomenon where the sun never sets – the bar in Copenhagen brings a piece of this arctic summer atmosphere to Denmark.
The bar is constructed from 50 tons of crystal-clear natural ice, harvested directly from the wild Torne River. The contrast between a warm summer day on Strøget and the constant minus five degrees inside creates a truly sensory experience. By putting the spotlight on the bar’s classic signature drink, "Midnight Sun", a direct, cooling connection is made to the bright Nordic nights. Crafted by the renowned Norrbottens Destilleri, the drink features a sophisticated flavor profile of rhubarb, lingonberry, and a hint of smoke, served in glasses made of pure ice.
