    I wish I'd thought of it! I remember a pub in York back in the '80s had the windows taped up and sandbags piled up at the door WW2-style; they even had the bouncers in battledress.
    "A mountain cave in China that was once the headquarters of a communist leader killed in a mysterious plane crash has been converted into a bizarre military-themed bar.
    First-time visitors to the quirky bar on the outskirts of Beijing could be forgiven for thinking they had stumbled across the scene of a disaster, as the fuselage of an aircraft has been used to create a startling entrance to the former bunker.
    The cave was the military headquarters of Lin Biao, a prominent figure in China's Cultural Revolution in the 1960s and '70s who worked alongside communist Chairman Mao Zedong."

    the Chinese Cave Bar is smaller than the Siberian Brown or the Grizzley , so it has adapted 'Bunker technology to thrive where brute strength is not an optimal strategy...
