Today we are listing: WEIRD BARS. Pubs and bars that rip up the normal template and present a bit differently. 1/ Scârț, Timișoara, Romania. A bar that's also a museum to communist consumerism. There's a bath in the toilet. There's junk in the bunker. You get the idea!
2 / Toone, Brussels. It is a pub, it is a theatre, it is stuffed with marionettes, trinkets and the layout is like getting lost down the rabbit hole.
3/ Chata Pod Rysmi, Slovakia. Beer delivered on foot to 2250m, crap off a cliff. There is a noose for vegetarians, a bus stop and no electricity (drink by oil lamp in the evenings). Oh yeah, this is a pretty regular place.
4 / HR Giger Bar, Gruyeres, Switzerland. Not the venue to visit if the Alien films ever gave you bad dreams.
5 / Masoch Café, Lviv, Ukraine. This is the place to go if you wish to be whipped between sips of your drink. Seriously.
6 / El Bosc de les fades, Barcelona. The forest of the fairies. Like wandering around a film set, the various siderooms transport you through a wonderland. Very few bars have gone to these lengths with their decor.
7 / Vzorkovna, Prague. From the fob card payment system to the mason jars, bunk bed hangouts and roving Irish wolfhound mascot, this underground bar/club does everything a little bit differently.
8 / Papa Joe's Jazzlokal, Cologne. A temple of jazz. Stalls, wobbly-headed jazz icons, enormous cocktail making machine and even some ruins to be seen under reinforced glass at the entrance. Iconic.
9 / Rasputin, Florence. A secret bar with a concealed entrance. You knock then are guided down for cocktails in a brooding, illicit-feeling basement bar.
10 / Neonside, Wrocław, Poland. Recovered neons from the socialist era deck out this back alley which has also become a courtyard bar. Unique.
11 / Le Pot Au Lait, Liège, Belgium. Less is more? No, this surrealist, animalistic bar reasserts the clear fact that more is indeed more.
