Joe Rimer at the entrance of minus5 Orlando

minus5 Orlando from back in 2014

Unless I haven’t gotten around to it yet, you’ll find a few minus5 ice bar galleries on the site. Las Vegas alone has THREE minus5 ice bars! (And I’ve been to all three, but they probably look different now.)

For a while, there was a minus5 Orlando too. It was on International Drive and had some pretty killer details. Back in 2014, I got to visit and then in 2017, I was part of the Ice Pro team that redid the bar. I was going to mix the 2 sets of pics together, but I had so many good pics (much better than the pics I have from my quick tours of the Vegas minus5s, unfortunately) that I decided to make 2 galleries. When I finish the other gallery, there will be a rebuilding minus5 Orlando link here.

At left, Joe Rimer of Ice Pro stands at the icy entrance to minus5 Orlando, trying to decide if he should let me in…

the bartender looks a little blue 😞 lighting changes a lot at ice bars
a whole lot of bottles: minus5 does things a little differently, featuring more alcohol choices than I've seen at other ice bars

a crowd waits outside minus5 Orlando, waiting to get in
the bartender hans out behind the ice bar at minus5 Orlando in 2014, with a lot of coral freeze-ins

Yes Joe, I know you're trying to tell me something boring about this ice bar, but I'm trying to get a pic, so could you please get out of the way?
Joe was like, PLEEZE take a picture with me!
Joe photobombs these girls' pic 🙄
Joe Rimer is skeptical as to whether he should let me in...he shouldn't have
this is about the best shot Joe Rimer has at staying up on a surfboard: when literally even the water is frozen in place 😜

an ice wall of penguins, some goofy
So who's the doofus not wearing a jacket? Oh, yeah, that's me! Cool Space Shuttle seat and wall though!!

no useful info here yet, sorry

Yeah, still working on this part. Also working on the other minus5 Orlando gallery. So just be patient!

so, where was minus5 Orlando?

minus5 Orlando was on International Drive, near the Orange County Convention Center.

still more boring stuff that nobody reads

I’m slowly working on rebuilding my collection of ice sculpture galleries (like very slowly). I had a pretty impressive collection on the old ice carving secrets site, so I have all of those and many more to add as well. I’m dumping photo galleries onto the site as quickly as I can. My current estimate is that I will end up with at least 7 million photo galleries on the site. Oops, I meant about 60 or so, 2 of which will be minus5 Orlando galleries and maybe 3 other minus5 galleries too.  But I still have a long ways to go. As for more like this, check out the selection of galleries from icy places.

Also, you might also find photos and info from this gallery on the ice sculpting secrets Instagram account or the facebook page. Since you can’t comment on this page, comment there if you have any thoughts or knowledge related to this event. Thanks!
