Top 5 Strangest Bars


5. Red Sea Star Bar: world’s first underwater bar, restaurant and observatory

Submerged six meters below the Red Sea is the world’s very first underwater bar and restaurant, the Red Sea Star Restaurant, Bar and Observatory. Each table has two windows on the side and one above, giving dinners an octopus eye-view of the kaleidoscope beauty of the undersea kingdom. Ironically, the guest’s attention tends to get torn between the magnificent sea creatures in the colorful coral garden outside and the marine looking creatures and shapes inside such as the jellyfish stools and anemone lighting fixtures. The restaurant offers continental cuisine with the main course priced between USD$10-20. It seats 105 guests and is open daily including weekends and holidays from 10 am to 1 am.

4. Skeleton Bar: decorated with skeletons

I bet you feel like you’re having a drink in a bar built by the Alien. And in a way, you kind of are, because this odd-looking establishment was designed by Hans Rudi Giger (HR Giger), who worked as a designer on the Alien movies, receiving multiple awards, including an OSCAR for best special effects. Giger did great work on this museum-bar, you must feel like you’re somewhere in the Alien universe or inside the skeleton of a monster. In any case it’s very original and refreshing.
3. Hobbit House Bar: a bar served only by dwarves

Hobbit House is a world famous bar and folk house in Manila, Philippines. Based on that J.R. Tolkien Trilogy, all the waiters at this bar are dwarfs. From the front door up to the cashier, you will be taken care of by friendly, charming and always smiling little people. Every night aside from their jobs as waiters, they can also be seen happily posing for pictures with tourists and travelers alike. The bar has a dark, smoke-filled ambience where 100 different kinds of beer from around the world are offered.
2. Chillout: made entirely out of ice

Chillout’ is the Middle East’s first ice lounge. Almost everything at the restaurant is sculpted out of ice. Dinners will sit on ice benches or chairs, eat at ice tables, out of ice plates, drink from ice glasses served from a bar made of ice. The $17 cover charge gets you one drink and the rental of a hooded parka, woolen gloves and insulated shoes.
1. Casa Pocho: a bar where you need to insult the bartenders to get a drink

A bar in Spain is serving up free beer and tapas to recession-weary customers who insult its bartenders as a way to let off steam. Casa Pocho in the beach resort town of Cullera near Valencia has a promotional gimmick that works like a charm. Bernard Mariusz, the bar’s Polish-born co-owner, said the free alcohol and snacks go only to those who come up with truly original insults. “They can’t call me S.O.B., but they can call me jerk, idiot, clown, that kind of thing,” Mr Mariusz said. “This works, because even people in their 70s come to insult me.” Mr Mariusz said he and Michal Lotocki, his business partner, came up with the idea to help people relax during the hard economic times. Rather than argue about money at home with their spouses, he suggested they stop by and take it out on him.
