What is an Oxygen Bar?

An oxygen bar is an establishment, that allows people to breathe in oxygen enriched air for recreational use. Flavored scents are often added to enhance the experience. The flavors in an oxygen bar come from bubbling oxygen through bottles containing aromatic solutions before it reaches the nostrils: most bars use food-grade particles to produce the scent, but some bars use aroma oils. Breathing in non-medical, scented oxygen at an oxygen bar delivers 4 to 5 times the amount of oxygen present in normal air. The experience leaves customers feeling refreshed, full of energy and detoxified.

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. They are fun, healthy, and make great conversational pieces. Everyone wants to know “What is an Oxygen Bar?”
