Walk south along Vasagatan, turn right when you reach the large 
construction project (it feels like you're turning into an alley). 
If you reach the Radisson SAS, you've gone too far.  The Nordic Sea is 
on the left.

I was underwhelmed by the ice bar.  It's rather small, a fact they try 
to make up for with some mirrored walls, and there's not that much ice 
art.  The walls, bar, and tables are ice, but the only sculptures are 
two ice trees and one iconic sculpture for pictures.

A group of five of us walked in on Sunday night following the welcome 
reception with no reservations.
