A relatively new addition to this holiday hot spot, Ice Ku
is built in the shape of a large iceberg. Inside this cave-like
venue clubbers will be dazzled by one of the best light shows
in town, while the top-notch sound system bangs out house
and garage summer tunes.
Ice Ku hosts infamous popcorn parties, where not foam but
popcorn is sprayed over the crowd. Well, at least you won't
go hungry.

It's definitely worth a visit to sample the sounds of house,
garage, drum & bass and more. The fact that Clockwork

parties.
