Game of Thrones ice sculptor leads design on Newcastle’s newest sub-zero bar destination

A new ice bar is set to bring a sub-zero slice of the big apple to the centre of Newcastle.

Container village STACK Newcastle will become home to a new ice bar with a ‘New York New York’ theme.

Sponsored by Grey Goose Vodka, STACK’s Ice Bar will feature ice sculptures influenced by the iconic US city, sculpted by the company that created the Game Of Thrones Ice Throne for HBO, Glacial Art.

The bar, which will welcome visitors for up to 20 minutes at a time, replaces Hadrian’s Tipi for the remainder of the winter months for the second year running.

Mat Foster, director of Glacial Art, commented: “The Lone Wolf Ice Bar in STACK, Newcastle was the biggest project we have worked on in our 13-year history, so we’re delighted to be able to work with Danieli Holdings again this year.

“It’s an exciting exhibition of life-sized ice sculptures which will be suspended at minus ten degrees for the next three months.

“I can’t wait for the people of the North to enjoy this exhibition as much as we have enjoyed planning it.”

The sub-zero destination is the latest offering at the container village on Pilgrim Street, which was introduced by Danieli Holdings in August 2018 and has since gone on to house a range of bars and eateries.

Neill Winch, director of Danieli Holdings, added: “After the success of Hadrian’s Tipi year after year, we can’t wait to bring the Ice Bar to Newcastle again. Last years was a great success and our customers made it quite clear that they would want it to come back again.

“Our clientele expects us to bring creativity to the region and we hope that this year’s New York theme ticks all the boxes and exceeds their expectations.

“We were proud to bring the first ever Ice Bar to the city last year, so we look forward to dazzling our guests with spectacular ice sculptures again this year. Newcastle just got a lot cooler.”
