Awesome.  I'd gladly stop in there for a mug of Ovaltine and absinthe.

If you dare to believe wikipedia, bad taste wasn't a factor in their untimely demise.  Their were four bars created: the first two still operate in Swisscheese Land (in Gruyères and Chur); the third was in N.Y. in the Limelight club, which was closed after its notorious criminal troubles, consequently pulling down the Giger bar in its wake; the fourth bar, located in Tokyo, was destined for failure after Giger disowned it when he couldn't have it built the way he wanted.
