<p>The San Francisco Dungeon, an immersive show and history lesson aimed at tourists, announced its Rat Cafe popping up for only two days in July.</p>

<p>For $50 (S$70) (that includes admission to the rest of the show) cafe-goers can sip coffee while surrounded by rats. It's supposed to be an intentionally confusing experience: sit in a nice bistro-style eatery with a Barbary Coast theme with rats scurrying around.</p>

<p>It's an all-you can-drink coffee buffet, so no food can be snatched by hungry rats. But still.</p>

<p>The rats are all reportedly up for adoption through the Bay Area nonprofit <a href="https://www.rattieratz.com/" target="_blank">Rattie Ratz</a>, a group that rescues and rehabilitates rats. So if you bond with a cafe rat you can bring him or her home. The ultimate souvenir.</p>
