Oxygen Bars History and Popularity

Oxygen bars became popular in the 1990’s in Japan, then spread to California and Las Vegas.

Today, oxygen bars appear at many venues: nightclubs, salons, spas, health clubs, resorts, tanning salons, restaurants, coffee houses, bars, theme parks, airports, ski chalets, shopping malls, hookah bars, yoga studios, chiropractors, casinos, and many more.

They can also be found at trade shows, conventions and corporate meetings, as well as at private parties such as Sweet 16 Birthday Parties, Bar and Bat Mitzva’s,  weddings, and promotional events.

Customers pay around $1 per minute to breathe  the non-medical oxygen. Often scented, the oxygen contains 4-to-5 times the amount of oxygen found in normal air. The effect leaves customers feeling alert, refreshed, full of energy and with a general good feeling.

Oxygen bars are for recreational and entertainment purposes only and are not used for the treatment of any illness.
