While most people tend to avoid going to dining establishments in which rats and other rodents exist, The Black Rat Cafe is encouraging visitors to do just the opposite.
The unusual pop-up venture is being offered by The San Francisco Dungeon – a tourist attraction in California that recreates scary historical events in a thrilling and interactive experience. The Black Rat Cafe is a temporary pop-up space that will allow guests to sip their coffees while being surrounded by friendly rats. The pop-up costs $50 per person and visitors are allowed to interact with the free-roaming rats.
The San Francisco Dungeon's newest venture acts as a unique marketing tool for the brand, which is already known for providing thrills to its brave visitors.
