Some people look for uniqueness even in the most common of places. For example, consider bars. All of them are pretty much the same, one way or another, with the same shelf behind the bar, containing the same drinks, with your typical bartender, and the typical customers. However, not all bars are like alike. They might all offer the same drinks but they may very well differ in their style, theme or presentation. Bar owners tend to provide a different and unique experience to the customers and while doing so, some of them go way beyond normal and usual stuff. They end up having a pretty unusual or sometime weird bar where customers feel both intrigued as well as freakish. The top 10 most unusual bars in the world have been listed below to show you that we live in a world where everything and anything should be expected.
10. H.R. Giger Bar
Gruyeres, Switzerland The H.R Giger Bar is also known as the Skeleton Bar, and there’s a reason why it is called so.

Bet blood-colored wines would be quite popular here. This is one pretty scary bar for a normal person. You may very well get Goosebumps at your first visit. But to be honest, it surely is awesome.

7. Gua’cara Taina

It’s the underground bar “Gua’cara Taina”. This bar is located in the Dominion Republic and is placed sixty feet below the Earth’s surface, adorned naturally by stalactites and stalagmites.

6. The Red Sea Star
Underwater resorts are always a source of fascination, and people in the hundreds yearn to visit one. The Red Sea Star is the world’s first underwater bar and restaurant.

It’s scary enough and seems like a place of some freaky cult members. The entire theme of the Vampire Café and bar is about the Dracula and the vampires. Once you enter the bar you get a feeling as if you are a vampire too, living in the vampire world. How about some red wine instead of blood?
4. Alcatraz ER

The guests are also handcuffed to provide a complete prison like atmosphere and led to their cell where they would enjoy their drinks. Alcatraz is a popular prison known for its strictness.

If it was really a prison, it would have been the best.
3. The Clinic
Locate in Singapore the Clinic is, as the name suggests, a bar with a hospital theme. Hospital beds separate by hanging curtains, surgery room lighting, syringes, test tubes and drips adorn this bar.

But this is a pretty weird bar that does attract tourists only to see its uniqueness.
2. Dans le Noir
