What was he talking about? Would you have guessed a [George Costanza](http://www.ew.com/article/1998/05/04/glossary-george-louis-costanza "undefined")\-themed watering hole Down Under? The [_Sydney Morning Herald_](http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/tv-and-radio/tv-comedy/george-costanza-themed-bar-to-open-in-melbourne-20151231-glx4jz.html "undefined") reported George’s Bar, named after Alexander’s _Seinfeld_ character, opened on New Year’s Eve flaunting a toastie and cocktail menu pegged to various jokes from the long-running NBC series. The Summer of George, The Hand Model, and Marisa Tomei were some of the concoctions available to patrons. Co-owner and operator Dave Barrett told the paper, “We came up with the name George’s and worked backwards, concept-themeing it. George Costanza suits a bar in a lot of ways. The humor around George works.” He continued describing the layout, “We’ll be continually doing things and layering the theme. When you walk in, the two front doors have two George’s quotes — ‘It’s not a lie if you believe it’ and ‘Everyone must like me, I must be liked.’ Theres a whole bunch of autographed photos I’ve bought that are all in transit, that will all get added to as well.” See photos of the bar below via its [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/georgesbarfitzroy/ "undefined") and [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/georgesbarfitzroy "undefined") pages. The bar is already catching the eye of at least one other Costanza fan. “One guy contacted me last night who lives in Melbourne and who is in the middle of eight different George Costanza paintings,” Barrett said. “We are talking about doing a show with him.” _This_ [_article_](http://www.ew.com/article/2016/01/02/george-costanza-bar-seinfeld-australia "undefined") _originally appeared on_ [_EW.com_](http://www.ew.com "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4166344/seinfeld-george-costanza-bar-australia/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4166344/seinfeld-george-costanza-bar-australia/"},"headline":"See the George Costanza-Themed Bar That Just Opened in Australia","datePublished":"2016-01-04T18:47:15.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:28:15.175Z","description":"\"George Costanza suits a bar in a lot of ways\"","url":"https://time.com/4166344/seinfeld-george-costanza-bar-australia/","keywords":["Newsfeed","society"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt62cb607be7a742d6/69887766cd1bba70ff6febe2/seinfeld-cast-portrait-george-costanza.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nick Romano / Entertainment Weekly"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt62cb607be7a742d6/69887766cd1bba70ff6febe2/seinfeld-cast-portrait-george-costanza.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"The cast of \"Seinfeld.\"","caption":"The cast of \"Seinfeld.\"","creditText":"NBC","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4166344/seinfeld-george-costanza-bar-australia/","name":"See the George Costanza-Themed Bar That Just Opened in Australia"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"10 Questions for Julia Louis-Dreyfus","description":"Comedian and actress Julie Louis-Dreyfus talks about her role as the Vice President in Veep, her Elaine dance moves, and her biggest regret in life","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/woTRr0FU/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2012-04-25T18:18:02.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/woTRr0FU.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4166344/seinfeld-george-costanza-bar-australia/","duration":"PT5M9S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4166344/seinfeld-george-costanza-bar-australia/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
