The Alien monster from the sci-fi movie thriller "Alien" (Click Image To Enlarge)
Can you imagine stepping inside this bar? Bar? Yes, it is just a bar called “HR Giger Bar“, found at the HR Giger Museum in Gruyères, Switzerland. HR Giger Bar is a cavernous,skeletal structure covered by double arches of vertebrae that crisscross the vaulted ceiling of an ancient castle. The sensation of being in this extraordinary setting recalls the tale of Jonah and the whale, lending the feel of being literally in the belly of a fossilized, prehistoric beast, or that you have been transported into the remains of a mutated future civilization. This is a really impressive design and I bet you will have a unforgettable drinking experience inside.
COMMENTARY: I have been to Hollywood theme-style restaurants, but I have never seen anything like the HR Giger Restaurant and Bar which is right out of the movie set for the sci-fi move thriller "Alien." Check out the video:
Amazing alien restaurant bar designed by H.R. Giger and if you don't know who Giger is then I shall tell you. He was involved in the design of the aliens in Alien the movie you know the alien tearing out of the stomach and the face huggers and the most dangerous alien acid blood burns any material. Anyway this bar is like the inside of the alien mother ship:-) They even have piped in music with the sounds of the Alien monster.
That's what I call one cool place worth checking if you are ever in Switzerland.
BTW, the 1979 movie "Alien" is one of my all-time favorites. I remember when the movie first came out. It scared the shit out of everybody in the audience and became an instant hit The movie made Sigourney Weaver a household name, and began the Alien movie series. Here's the original trailer, because I knew you would want to see it. I know my fans very well. Enjoy
Here's my favorite scene from the movie "Alien." I knew you would like to see it, too. Enjoy.
