New 4th Street nightclub Qua (213 W 4th St) had an opening party last night, where attendees were among the first to dance on top of the club’s 16 sharks.
Seriously. In the floor is a 20,000 gallon tank filled with 16 sharks. Sad fact about Qua, however: You’ve gotta be 25 or older to get in. It officially opens this Friday.
Our invitation to last night’s party was unfortunately lost in the mail, so we have no other choice but to imagine that Qua is exactly like this ridiculous video:

Those sharks sure are going to stare at alot of 25+ poon every night.
i got in there last night and i’m 24
Why in the hell would anyone think that dancing on sharks is cool?!
They are extremely sensitive to sound and light since that is how animals communicate under water. The idea of subjecting them to drunken idiots and loud music every night is appalling.
This could be the lamest nightclub I have ever heard of.
you are the lamest person I have ever heard of….
no, you are thae lamest person i have ever heard of.
that’s an awfully funny statement for the KING OF LAME CITY to make
Eat em up as they die. That’s what they’re there for.
i want to wear their teeth on an anklet
Those sharks are badass and they have a biologist on staff taking care of them under a sound proof cover. The club kicks ass!!!
Lets go ahead and put sharks raised in captivity into the wild, I’m sure they’ll last a really long time!
Lets just go ahead and let morons comment on the blog— sharks are fucking violent, dumbshit.
The poon at this place is incredible ;)
Quazzz Up, I can’t wait to go in this club. For all us ocean fanatics, we’ll love this, this only happens in Austin (downtown). Grrrreat! If you don’t like, stay out of it.
There are many cruelty-free ways to use the tank, such as by having beautiful swimming “mermaids” titillate and entertain guests. Will you please make the compassionate decision to move the sharks and rays to an environment where they can better express their natural behaviors?
Sharks have exceptional sensory systems that allow them to detect minute electrical fields and hear and sense low-frequency sounds and vibrations. Rays also have very keen senses. There is no doubt that the sharks and rays at your nightclub detect the pounding vibrations of the club’s music as well as the dancers on top of the tank in fact, the water reportedly ripples with the beat of the music, and the animals swim in a frantic manner. Despite the purported “soundproof” acrylic cover, the vibrations, lights, and sounds create a confusing and stressful atmosphere for the animals trapped inside the tank, agitating and tormenting them. The animals are being denied all the rich sensory experiences of their natural environment, the ability to swim freely, and the opportunity to hunt and forage for food.
the hell with sharks, they are killers anyway
