Residents of large cities were spoiled by "high-rise" bars offering views of the starry sky, the panorama of the city, a pond or an extensive park. But often these bars look too fashionable and deliberate, especially for people looking for shelter, and not wanting to be in the palm of your hand. In this case, I want to get as deep as possible and hide in the corner with something stronger, it doesn't matter if you are alone or in the company of friends. For those who want to feel the atmosphere of the old school, we have prepared a list of 13 best underground bars from around the world. We have in mind not only institutions hidden from prying eyes, our bars are actually underground.
So let's go!
1
The Baxter Inn - Sydney, Australia
If you really want to "go underground" while in Australia (which is not surprising), visit The Baxter Inn, a bar that goes deep underground. At the entrance you will see a bar counter, behind which there is a whole wall, not with books - whiskey! The silent bartender, like an agile librarian, pushes up and down the stairs, serving visitors the drink they have chosen. The dim lights above the head and the candles on the bar create a lamp atmosphere that encourages melancholy and intimate conversation with a friend.
The owners of the institution promise that here you will be out of reach for all the poisonous insects in Australia, which often catch the eye of a person.

The Ship - New York, United States

We would like to have a drink on a ship, but are afraid of pitching, then go to the Ship, a bar in New York. Although he does not go to sea, but the storm there is pretty good. The Ship is one of the most popular establishments in the southern part of New York, ahead of the competition in the selection of cocktails, and the professionalism of the bartenders who prepare them for customers. Everywhere you will be surrounded by ship color, and tables with comfortable sofas will allow you to gather in a small company. The local audience does not dress like a fashion show, put on a casual casual and demand your own cocktails!
And if in the morning you need preparations for a hangover, then in one of the articles on most-beauty.ru you can easily find them.

Cave Bar More - Dubrovnik, Croatia
Hotel More in the Croatian Dubrovnik is located at the top of the famous cave. This cave is remarkable not so much for its depth or historical events that took place in it, but for the fact that inside you will be able to drink good alcohol in the company of friends or spend a romantic dinner with your soul mate. In this case, you do not threaten to get lost or fall into a pit with a stalagmite bottom. It’s hard not to be surprised when going down the stairs and looking at the stalactites and stalagmites surrounding you, between which tables and a bar counter with chairs stand peacefully. After a wonderful evening, the ideal option is to go to the beach and breathe in the sea air, admiring the local beauties.

The Library - Chicago, United States

Surely you have not had to drink in the library yet. We do not recommend it, as the read material can be poorly absorbed. Instead, we suggest visiting Chicago, where you can find another “library”. The famous Gilt Bar restaurant offers visitors excellent cuisine, but a rather noisy atmosphere, especially since there are practically no empty spaces here. To retire, experienced customers descend into the basement of the bar called The Library. The quiet, slightly gloomy atmosphere is perfect for lovers of good whiskey or a glass of wine. Here you will find solitude, having felt like a hermit, far removed from the busy bar scene of Chicago.
At most-beauty.ru you will also find a list of the most beautiful libraries in the world.

Klub Vzorkovna - Prague, Czech Republic

Prague can offer a huge selection of atmospheric bars, but we advise you to visit the hipster institution Vzorkovna, located in the very center of the city. Here you can meet a variegated audience, including musicians, artists and other creative personalities, who are gathering in Vzorkovna to relax in company and arrange an exciting jam session. All this will be watched by an Irish wolfhound, imposingly pacing between the halls. Local beer, delicious food and fragrant hookah. We assure you - it won’t be boring!
6
The Crocker Club - Los Angeles, United States

The Crocker Club is located in the heart of Los Angeles, just below the Spring Arts Tower. Even if you are completely satisfied with drinks mixed by a friend, you will experience real delight by going down to this bar and skipping a couple of glasses in the old-school bank vault. Yes, it’s a classic vault with a massive door that they’re constantly trying to break into or explode in Hollywood movies. The bar, of course, is underground, which also adds importance to its visitors. The most popular is the Ghost Bar, located in the club. It is full of ghosts, however, the power of ghosts does not apply to Last Bookstore, a bookstore located next door.

Imagine Punta Cana - Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

Arriving in Punta Cana, everyone tries to get to the beach right there. Well, we approve of the morning rush, but in the evening it's worth going to the Imagine club, which is located in the cave! And this is not a stylized building with decorations, in Punta Cana everything is for real, even bats under the arch. Two constantly open dance floors with Caribbean and electronic music, the third hall for special occasions. Affordable prices for drinks, cheap entry and a friendly contingent, what else is needed for a good break in the resort.

Judging by the name, a bar cannot be located here. And for sure, in the daytime this establishment works as a flower shop. At night, the bar throws off its flower shackles, turning into a luxury drinking establishment. Delicious food, a variety of cocktails and a relaxed atmosphere. The owner of the bar himself works at the bar, making sure that customers are satisfied. Here, the flavor is mixed not only with Argentinean, but also with many other world cultures, so you are simply doomed to make acquaintances with foreigners who have chosen Floreria Atlantico as a place of pilgrimage.

Conversations in the Cellar can last forever.

But the bar is popular not only among students, there are many locals and tourists who have heard about the quality of food and alcohol. Each visitor can be sure that the doors of the Cellar will be open in any weather, not a single hurricane or blizzard has been able to close the establishment since 1990, when it was opened.

Portland, Maine has an excellent bar for adventure lovers who are too lazy to leave home. Craft beer and vinyl go no worse than peas with carrots.

Look for the Beer in here plate and go down the stairs, getting ready to taste the excellent fried cheese sandwich.

Operation Dagger - Singapore
Singapore is bewildering, perplexing or fascinating, but certainly not indifferent. The vast majority of tourists visiting this city are delighted, and the OperationDagger bar is happy to maintain the reputation of the original establishment with its atmosphere. It can be found not by the bright sign, but by the pungent smell of herbs and spices coming from the alley. The original design with many lamps on the ceiling, cocktails mixed with an experienced bartender and indescribable atmosphere will make you come back every time you visit Singapore.
