As a heat wave rolls over Europe, bringing temperatures as high as 33 Celsius (91 Fahrenheit) in Prague on Tuesday, the ICE PUB in downtown Prague offers a brief escape to Arctic conditions.
The bar, just a minute's walk from the capital's renowned Charles Bridge, serves vodka-based cocktails in cups made of ice; the furnishings and decorations are also made from ice.Customers wait to order a drink inside the Ice Pub in Prague, Czech Republic, July 19, 2022.

The bar used to serve beer as well - but has stopped that because the tap kept freezing up, bartender Lukas Santler said.Reporting by Jiri Skacel, Editing by Rosalba O'Brien
