The 9 Best Bars & Clubs in Queenstown, South Island
Staggering beauty and heart-pumping thrills await in the resort town of Queenstown, which is also known for its Hobbits—much of the Lord of the Rings trilogy was filmed in the area. Outdoor enthusiasts flock to Queenstown for the kayaking, bungee jumping, jetboating, white-water rafting, hiking and skiing. More mild-mannered adventurers can take a quiet cruise through nearby Milford Sound, part of the Fjordland National Park World Heritage area, or sample South Island pinot noir from one of the region's 75 wineries.

Be absorbed into a world crafted purely of ICE architecture! Everything from the walls and furniture, to the bar and intricately hand carved statues are all made from crystal clear ICE. Even our infamous cocktails are served in glasses made entirely out of ICE! Dress up like an eskimo and explore over 18 tonnes of ice in -5 degrees and colder. A family experience you will never forget, a pre dinner chilly cocktail, or a 'cool' start to a lively night on the town. Can you handle the THRILL OF THE CHILL?

Chill out in Australasia's largest, latest and greatest Ice Bar. Over 35 tones of crystal clear ice was used to build the Below Zero Ice Bar - all hand sculpted! The walls, bar, furniture, sculptures and even the glasses we serve our delicious array of cocktails in - all created from ice! Below Zero is the first ice bar in the world to feature a photo booth, with wide angle lens to ensure you get the best shots! We fit you with super warm jackets, gloves and boots so you can enjoy this incredible experience while still being cosy and warm. Come Chill With Us.

Had the best time here and great for photos. I didn’t have a booking so I rang up and the friendly staff said I could go in the next session that was happening in 10minutes. Great time, ice sculptures were amazing and the cocktail was lovely. Awesome how it’s included in the entry price and better value than their competition. They gave a warm jacket, boots and gloves to wear. Just a suggestion maybe alternate bar staff at the bar so people can buy extra drinks which will be better for your business :-) I’m going back again :-)

The best bar to visit in Queenstown. Went with family on Monday night and Wednesday night. Was there till close both nights. Bar staff were amazing and very accommodating. Never been to a bar with such a huge variety of music to cater to all tastes. Free pizza on Wednesday night also. Bar Staff, extremely friendly. Two different bouncers on each night, both relaxed and easy going which is refreshing. Also had the pleasure to meet the owner of the bar. Amazing story which explains why the atmosphere is so welcoming. Bar staff genuinely look like they are a big family. Enjoyed my time so much had to come back with a memento ????????

We walked around the harbour and looked at all the menus And this was by far the best and reasonable priced. We had a lovely monkfish and steak. They were amazing best meal we’ve had in NZ! Staff were lovely and very welcoming had a lovely view over the lake while eating dinner. Would definitely recommend.
