Ice bars

An ice bar, sometimes associated with an ice hotel is a drinking establishment primarily made of ice. The bars usually contain ice sculptures and other formations and are kept at low temperatures (generally about -5 °C) to hinder melting. The walls and seating are also usually made of ice. Mostly a novelty, the ice bar is often considered a tourist destination.

Saloons

Speakeasies

A speakeasy is an illicit establishment that sells alcoholic beverages. Such establishments came into prominence in the United States during the Prohibition era (1920–1933, longer in some states). Speakeasies largely disappeared after Prohibition was ended in 1933, and the term is now used to describe some retro style bars. Some former speakeasies continue to operate as bars.

Taverns

A tavern is a place of business where people gather to drink alcoholic beverages and be served food, and in most cases, where travelers receive lodging. An inn is a tavern which has a license to put up guests as lodgers. The word derives from the Latin taberna whose original meaning was a shed, workshop, stall, or pub.

Themed bars

A theme bar is an establishment centered around a specific concept, style, or subject, which influences its decor, ambiance, and sometimes its menu and drinks (similar to a theme restaurant). Examples are:

  • Britannia Pub in Santa Monica, California (United States): A British-themed bar
  • Coffin Club in Portland, Oregon (United States): A horror-themed bar
  • Giger Bar in Chur/Gruyères (Switzerland): Interior designed by H.R. Giger, creater of the original Alien
  • Storm Crow Manor in Toronto (Canada): A science fiction-themed restaurant and bar

Tiki bars

A tiki bar is an exotic–themed drinking establishment that serves elaborate cocktails, especially rum-based mixed drinks such as the mai tai and zombie cocktail. These bars are aesthetically defined by their tiki culture décor which is based upon a romanticized conception of tropical cultures, most commonly Polynesian.

Wine bars

A wine bar, sometimes called a bodega, is a bar that principally or exclusively serves wine.

  • El Vino (London, UK)
  • Giant Cask (Bad Dürkheim, Germany)
  • Ordinaire (Oakland, California)
  • Vino Volo (San Francisco, California)
  • Zum Weinberg (Wismar, Germany)
