A mermaid bar is set to open at Sacramento, California, later
this month. The bar - named Dive Bar - houses a 40-foot-long,
7,500-gallon aquarium where you will find several exotic fishes and
a couple of mermaids of both gender. The tank which weighs 50 tons
with water in it will be the biggest aquarium in a nightlife
venue in the world.
Owner George Karpaty said he used his experience opening
award-winning Ruby Skye and four other Bay Area nightclubs to
create unique design elements for his newest project. Inside the
gourmet pizza restaurant, Pizza Rock, a DJ will play music from a
retro Mack truck that appears to be breaking through the ceiling 15
feet in the air.
"I think this is the most creative project we've ever done.
Period," Karpaty said. "It's revolutionary stuff."
