This bar in the trunk of a Baobab has punters travelling from miles around for a brew.
It has been created in a huge 72ft high tree in this garden in Limpopo, South Africa, to keep thirsty locals happy.
But tourists flock to see the amazing bar inside the hollow 155ft circumference of the trunk.
The tree even has its own cellar, with natural ventilation to keep the beer cool.
The huge tree, in the grounds of Sunland Farm, is so wide it takes 40 adults with outstretched arms to encircle it.
Carbon-dating, which can determine the age of organic materials, has shown the anicent tree is about 6,000 years old. "This tree is likely to be older than the Giza Pyramids of Egypt," said Heather van Heerden, owner of Sunland Farm.
"It is phenomenal to have such a magnificent tree in your back garden. It is possibly the biggest living thing on earth."

Pass out drunk and wake up in Alice's rabbit hole... or a Hobbit house.
