You’re not seeing things–yes, that is an oversized anus you’re looking at. The bar itself is located in Vienna, and is unique, and not only because part of it is in the shape of a giant anus.
The Rectum Bar is actually, in it’s own odd way, instructional. It’s an exact replica of the digestive system, starting with the tongue, and ending appropriately enough, at the anus.
The designer, Atlier Van Lieshout, gives us his explanation of the bar…
BarRectum, Arsch Bar, Asshole Bar, Bar Anus. While the translations sound different, the form is universally recognizable. The bar takes its shape from the human digestive system: starting with the tongue, continuing to the stomach, moving through the small and the large intestines and exiting through the anus. While BarRectum is anatomically correct, the last part of the large intestine has been inflated to a humongous size to hold as many drinking customers at the bar as possible. The anus itself is part of a large door that doubles as an emergency exit.
OK then.
Here are some more pictures of The Rectum Bar…
Looks nice enough on the inside–comfortable, spacious. A nice place to have a drink…
…as long as you don’t remember that you’re inside a anatomically correct digestive system.
