What is a zany bar?

If you haven’t heard of a zany bar before, don’t worry you’re not alone. These quirky establishments are few and far between, but they’re definitely worth seeking out if you’re in the market for an unusual night out.

Getting to Know the Zany Bar

So what exactly is a zany bar? Essentially, it’s an establishment that likes to push the boundaries when it comes to cocktails and atmosphere. Think crazy decor, off-the-wall drink concoctions and plenty of room for silliness.

Zany bars often have themes or gimmicks that set them apart from more traditional watering holes. For example, one might be decorated like a jungle complete with indoor treehouses, while another might require patrons to wear costumes on certain nights.

The Rise of the Zanies

Perhaps unsurprisingly given their wacky nature, zany bars have only really started cropping up within the last decade or so.

At any rate,, there’s no denying that these establishments are becoming increasingly popular across many major cities worldwide as people seek something different from their usual haunts.
