Blake Nightingale, General Manager, gave a ABC7 a tour of the bar and explains that everything seen is real.

"This is about 15 degrees, right now we're in, we keep it nice and cold."



"Obviously the whole place is made of ice except the floor and ceiling," Nightingale said. "Right now, we're getting ready for the big game with some final touch ups."

There's also Super Bowl-themed "We have the 'prop bet'," explained bartender Jaline Leyva. "So just like in the big game, you make the prop bet where you get to decide what's the mystery Gatorade color that's gonna be poured on the winning coach, if you guess the color correctly, you win one of our prizes."

The cup is also made out of ice.
