Feb 25, 2015

Forget cat cafes. The latest trend in beverage and animal fusion is owl bars.

Next month, "Annie the Owl" will open in London. According to the bar's website, the pop-up will sadly only last one week. But, it will offer patrons two solid hours of cocktails and one-on-one owl interaction.

The site invites customers to "come say hello, sip yummy cocktails mixed by London's best mixologists and meet the OWL-PACK to see why everyone has been talking about this lot."

The bar is a collaboration between the app Locappy and The Barn Owl Centre in Gloucester, an owl conservation organization.

Those wishing to visit the restaurant will have to register first on its website. A select number of patrons will be chosen at random. But hurry, nearly 50,000 people have already signed up for the chance to spend a little time with the birds of prey.
