"Here's a bar with a difference - but you might want a stiff drink before stepping on the dancefloor. For nine inches beneath your feet are two species of shark and four species of stingray, all swimming around and no doubt peeking up at the tasty legs standing just above their heads. The bar, in Austin, Texas, boast a 20,000 gallon tank filled with black tip reef shark and leopard sharks." - RAPatton

wow. - Zee.

"However visitors who feel they might needs a stiff drink before venturing inside can be reassured by the bar's safety features. Dancers are separated from the sharks by four 3in acrylic panels placed on top of each other, each weighing over a ton. And those worried about the shark's comfort and quality of life have been reassured by the bar's owners, who say there is a 9in gap between the water surface and acrylic surface. A spokesman said: 'It's physically impossible to disturb the water's surface from above the tank. The visual ripple on the surface is from the tank circulation system housed in a secure and soundproof room approximately 40ft away. " - RAPatton

Seems cruel to the animals. Not just due to the alien environment, but what does a dance floor full of drunk people right above your head sound like under water? - mikepk
