The Boiler Bar: Like Thirsty Moths to a Flame

As featured on http://www.geeksaresexy.net

They call it oilpunk a sort of post-Steampunk aesthetic, championing the designs of the early modern era (around 1920s/1930s) rather than the Victorian attributes of the steampunker.

And what better homage to the era of the speakeasy than a bar?

Yes, the fireballs generated by the twin propane-fueled tanks on either side are impressive, but lets not kid ourselves, what makes the Boiler Bar beautiful is that it serves alcohol. As inventor and blacksmith Jon Sarriugarte explains in the video below, you can pretty much set up anywhere, and draw in revelers by setting off a few fireblasts, and then when they get there, theres a bar. It's an instant party machine, really.

If that wasn't enough, when it's too light during the day to really make impressive fireballs, the boilerbar also has a theatrr with 1920s vaudeville themed performances.

Though it wasn't available at the time this video was filmed, Sarriugarte also has a device that uses 15,000 volts of electrical current to instantly age whiskey thirty years. It does, however, have the side effect that the whiskey then catches on fire.

Oh, one last thing. If youve got $1200, you can rent the Boiler Bar yourself for a night
