Rat Café: Coming Soon to a Pop-Up Store Near You
NBC Bay Area ^ | 5/19 | Kavin Mistry

For those that like their coffee black, The San Francisco Dungeon is launching The Black Rat Café, an immersive pop-up experience.

It’s not everyday you get the opportunity to dine with animals, but San Francisco is giving people the unique chance to eat with one of the most unlikely dinner guests. Rats.

The San Francisco Dungeon restaurant is giving customers a chance to enjoy the Black Rat Cafe. For $49.99, you can sip coffee at a bistro-style table while being surrounded by rats

People who dine with the rats can also enjoy all-you-can-drink coffee, water, tea and pastries. However, all of the food will be taken away before the rats come and join the guests.

According to the SF Gate, all of the rats are from a nonprofit rat rescue, Rattie Ratz, which is based in Clayton.

The SF Dungeon has yet to open up ticket sales, but the rat dates are July 1 and July 8. For more information, click here.

People often move to San Francisco because of its reputation for Filth.

people that manage to live there a long time do much better if they enjoy piss, poop, parking tickets, rats, bacteria, sick ways of thinking -it all goes together.

the only parts that don’t fit is the beautiful architecture, great restaurants and also the pretty good weather.

Some how, I don't think that was the proprietors' intention.

I've seen roaches, and glass (1/4" cube piece) in food. Mostly Chinese restaurants.

Either that , or this is going to be ground zero for the next Great Plague. How much did they have to bribe the health department to let this through?

My wife and daughter, grandson and I had lunch in a hole-in-the-wall Chinese restaurant here one Saturday.
While we were eating, my grandson, who was just about 3 at the time hit the aluminum window frame next to our table with his fist for some odd reason.

All of a sudden, thousands of roaches came pouring out from underneath it!

Just like that scene in the movie ‘Health Inspector’ with Larry the Cable Guy where he kicked the toe-plate under the counter............

How creative. Suppose I went in there with a cat?

We, work colleagues, had lunch at a Chinese place. The waitress forgot to bring the hot oil until the very end of the meal, when the guys that requested it had finished.

It was in a small saucer, and there was something in the center, that I figured was a pepper or whatever.

One of the other guys was more curious, and forked it up.

It was a dead cockroach.

Others from work had similar experiences to yours, including a number of roaches scampering out from underneath a cloche.

We stopped going, and it "experienced" a kitchen fire in the middle of the night a month or two later, and didn't reopen.

Hey SF’s four legged Rats are much more preferable than the two legged kind.

I expect the waitstaff to wear Goth type black uniforms, have pierced ears, noses and tongues, have tattoos on arms, chests, necks and one side of their faces.
You would but able to tell they didn’t work at In and Out Burgers.

Lol, didn’t think of that. In my mind I was boggling at the surreality of a rat “cafe”.

LOL!..............We’ve had ‘several’ kitchen fires of ‘unknown origin’ strike some local restaurants over the years.

One guy was caught on the bank ATM camera, across the street from his restaurant, going in about 3 AM and leaving, then suddenly the place catches on fire.

He not only burned down his own place, but the business next door as well, which wasn’t his..................
