The theme is there, but it’s pretty light-on. There are a few quotes, character paste-ups and signed portraits on the walls, bowls of pretzels on the bar (they’ll make you thirsty), plus cocktails and toasted sandwiches variously named Draped in Velvet, The Hand Model and Art Vandelay. That’s it. “It’s more of a homage to George Costanza than a theme bar as such,” says Dave Barrett, who owns this and Laundry Bar with wife and fellow Costanzaphile, Tina Barrett. “It’s not a theme-park ride – it’s a bar in Fitzroy.” Right on. Once you move past the novelty, it’s a simple sort of place, with murals inside and out by local artists Adnate and Shawn Lu. Like Nighthawks and Monty’s, it champions a back-to-basics attitude.
