Where mermaids come to play
Dive Bar is a live performance aquatic bar showcasing a cast of mermaids and mermen performing in a 7,500 gallon steel clad tank that cantilevers over a burl wood bar. The tank is home to a wide variety of aquatic life on full display to guests. Cast enters and exits through hidden access points. The highly themed tank is stylized after an old sunken ship parlour. Props include antique-looking floating bottles, an old roulette wheel, and other casino artifacts. Vibrant colored fish species includes exotic French Angelfish, Batfish and Lookdowns. Why Lookdowns? Because from the bar floor looking up, they appear to be looking back. Great effort was put into lighting design in order to minimize potential glare from such a large reflective surface.
