3- Guiness Sea Bar, Stockholm



The interiors of a submarine were turned into a deep sea bar in Stockholm to mark the 255th anniversary of the Guiness. Going by the looks of it, it is a submarine on the outside with a bar inside. It was a fluid concept called GRP (glass reinforced plastic) that captures Guiness’ brand statement  ‘Alive Inside’ quite well and gives a feeling of being immersed in dynamic flowing.

4- Al Mahara, Dubai




Situated within the luxurious Burj Al Arab, this restaurant offers an experience of a floor-to-ceiling aquarium inside. Al Mahara, which translates to “the oyster shell,” offers a menu well suited for the restaurant’s ambiance, including poached tsarskaya oysters and sea salt–crusted sea bass.
