in german "Spelunke" is used for a seedy, shady bar

And another fun bit of trivia: in the animated series “The Seven Deadly Sins”, one of the characters owns and operates a somewhat suspicious bar in a remote mountain cave.

Seems there may be a cross-culture notion of caves and sketchy bars having similar level of… ah, “shadiness”. Makes some sense, as I’m typing this out. The dark is where (both literally and figuratively) shady things go down, and it’s hard to get much darker than a cave, so “Spelunke” seems a fitting name.

Same case for "spelunka" in polish
