4) Casa Pocho, Spain
Normally, we judge a restaurant according to its ambience, food and the service. In return, we’re also expected to maintain a certain level of decorum. However, this is not the case at Casa Pocho where free beer and tapas are given to customers who insult their bartenders. Excluding extremely rude words, the customers are allowed to use milder insults such as jerk and idiot. Casa Pocho  is co-owned by Bernard Mariusz and Michal Lotocko, this bar is the perfect place to head out to after a bad day to let off some steam.

5) Sugarloaf Kiosk, Brazil
This bar tests just how far you’ll go to have a drink. Located at a height of 1, 296 feet in Rio de Janeiro, this bar is accessible via two ways. You can either go the easy way (ride a 75 passenger cable car) or impress people and rock climb. It’ll be seem worth it in the end when you’re admiring the mountain-top view with a tall caipirinha which is a blend of ice, sugar, line and cachaça, a Brazilian alcohol made from distilled sugarcane.

On the northern shore of Africa’s vast Lake Malawai lies an unusual lodge.

10) The clinic, Singapore
This bar is the kind of place you go to for the experience rather than the drinks.  The Clinic bar, as predicted is inspired by a hospital. It has hospital beds as couches, the servers are wearing scrubs and drinks are served in syringes and test tubes. To add to the morbid feel, the rooms are in the shape of pills.
