About

Arctic-themed Murray Hill spot serves 24 specialty cocktails and a continent-hopping menu. A newish addition to the constellation of insipid bars crammed into Murray Hill, this arctic-themed space features eight plasma screens, two fireplaces, plenty of armchair seating and an outdoor deck, which presumably will be teeming with post-collegiate locals during the upcoming summer months. Downstairs, the dramatically-named "Ice Bar" offers a pool table as well as a modern glass bar surrounded by velvet drapes. The menu globe-hops somewhat successfully, as the food is surprisingly decent. DJs spin Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
