Igloo dining is one of the most unique winter attractions in the Adirondacks. While snowflakes dance in the sky, it is an idyllic setting for a romantic date night with your partner or any intimate gathering with friends and family. In town for a winter carnival or ski trip? Dinner and cocktails within a heated igloo is the perfect way to wrap up the evening. A handful of Lake George Area establishments are offering this must-try seasonal experience!

The Barrel offers heated igloo dining among other kinds of winter merriment all season long! No snow? No worries – The Barrel makes their own!
