Before going on a trip, we compile a list of must-see places: natural wonders, historical monuments, architectural landmarks. But sometimes it is useful to get off the beaten tourist paths and visit points that are no less spectacular, but not too well known to a wide range of tourists. In this review, we will introduce you to the drinking establishments that are rightfully considered the strangest on this planet.

10. Icebar by Icehotel, Sweden

Currently, there are already several "ice bars", but the very first, which served as a prototype for all the others, is located in the village of Jukkasjärvi in Sweden. All visitors to this bar are dressed in warm clothes, since the temperature here is significantly below zero, and the furniture, walls and interior items are made exclusively of ice. And try to guess which drink is the most popular in this establishment?

9. Miniscule of Sound, England

This club deserves several places in the Guinness Book of Records at once. Firstly, it is probably the smallest establishment of its kind in the world: its area is no more than 5 square meters. Secondly, this club wanders from district to district, from city to city, so if you are lucky enough to see it today, then it is not at all a fact that you will be able to return there tomorrow. And thirdly, this is not a nightclub at all, but a talented parody of the modern entertainment industry, in which all visitors become its involuntary accomplices.

8. H. R Giger Skeleton Bar, Switzerland

All visitors to this bar note the undeniable similarity of its design with the atmosphere of the sci-fi thriller Alien. And this is not at all accidental, because the design of the room was developed with the direct participation of Hans Rudolf Giger, who became famous for his design work for this film epic. The room and furniture of the bar seem to be made from the remains of skeletons of alien monsters and are densely saturated with the spirit of cosmic horror, darkness and aggression.

7. Alux Restaurant and Lounge, Mexico

To visit this club, you literally have to go underground. The establishment is located in a cave system, and visitors can move between its underground rooms, admiring the colorfully illuminated vaults, the color of which changes dynamically as they progress. This is one of the few places in the world where you can feel the ancient forces that seem to exist here.

6. Hobbit House, Philippines

This bar was opened in 1973 by a man who loved The Lord of the Rings novel so much that he decided to recreate a piece of it in real life. The entire room is decorated in the style of the Tolkien universe, and the staff consists entirely of Lilliputians, representing the Hobbit people. Another attraction of this place is the wonderful live music, which includes the best works of jazz, folk and blues.

5. Baobab Bar, South Africa

This bar is more than 80 years old, but this is a mere trifle compared to the age of the baobab that sheltered it, which is almost 6 thousand years old. The institution inside the hollow can accommodate no more than 15 visitors and does not even have a place for a dance floor. But here you will find unique artifacts that tell about the history of the tree, and, of course, an indescribable atmosphere. After all, it is not often possible to drink in the middle of a thousand-year-old tree, is it not?

4. Guacara Taina, Dominican Republic

Nightclub Guacara Taina is located at a depth of several tens of meters and accommodates almost 3 thousand guests. The three interconnecting caves contain several dance zones and are voiced by the very best DJs who skillfully mix local hot beats and international dance hits. And for those visitors who are in a romantic mood, there are always quieter and more secluded niches and branches.

3. Das Klo, Germany

When people say that the British have a peculiar sense of humor, they simply do not know what sense of humor the Germans have. And to find out, it's worth going to this one. Here you will experience the whole gamut of strong feelings: from disgust and fear to shock and complete rejection. Painting pictures and falling ceilings, toilets and tests, strange food and disgusting staff. In general, an institution for connoisseurs of beauty.

2. Eternity Bar, Ukraine

And this bar will appeal to those who like to reflect on the transience of all things. A giant coffin in a scale of 1: 10 to life size was made by the Truskavets salon of ritual services "Eternity". It is 20 meters long, 6 meters wide, and 6 meters high. The decoration of the interior and the music inside the institution fully correspond to the theme, and at the entrance visitors are greeted with a poster "Entrance only in white slippers."

1. Clinic, Singapore

The weirdest bar on this list is completely imbued with the spirit of the hospital. They use wheelchairs instead of chairs, hospital beds instead of sofas, the kitchen is located in the operating room, meals are served in medical dishes and test tubes. The waiters are dressed in white coats and even carry phonendoscopes and other strange medical devices. A great place to sharply re-experience the joy of a healthy life.
