A dance floor like you’ve never seen before
A typical bar or night club is filled with interesting creatures — cougars, lounge lizards and even some bar flies, but sharks? An Austin, Texas nightclub has decided to add sharks and stingrays to the mix under the dance floor. The 20,000 gallon tank boasts two species of sharks (black tip reef sharks and leopard sharks) and four species of stingrays.
The QUA Bottle Lounge has certainly given new meaning to the term “pool shark.” The owners assure the writer of this article that they have made the animals comfortable and put in enough reinforced acrylic panels so that the water they are in remains undisturbed and they can swim in peace.
I’ve always thought a bar has the ability to turn into a zoo depending on who’s present, but this wasn’t the kind of zoo I had ever imagined. What do you think about having wild animals at a bar or club?
