Visit the Ice Bar at The Gem in Bolton Landing on Lake George in the Adirondacks.

Make way for The Gem in Bolton Landing, one of the town's freshest hangout spots. Escape the winter ennui and cozy up at the ice bar.

Cut your own cubes for your cocktail.

Chill out with a hot toddy, a cool champagne cocktail, or your favorite whiskey - you can even customize your Old Fashioned with cubes you cut from a legit ice block.

Check out the live ice diamond carving and enjoy toasty snacks and the après ski happy hour.

The ice bar will be open weekends in January.

Why not make it an evening and stay for dinner? Reservations recommended.
