On New Year’s Eve, the inevitable finally happened: a bar celebrating Seinfeld‘s most pitiful and cherished character, George Costanza, opened in Melbourne. George’s Bar — naturally, located in Fitzroy — serves George Costanza-themed toasties and booze inside George Costanza-adorned walls. It is everything George Costanza would have wanted, and is therefore beautiful and terrible simultaneously.

The bar is adequately filled with framed Costanza photos and quotes, further immortalising the Lenin of our generation.

“At the moment we’ve got our toasties menu which has items like The Art Vandalay, The Costanza and The Mom and Pop. We’re still finalising the cocktail menu but it will be similar,” co-owner Dave Barrett told Fairfax Media.

“Theres a whole bunch of autographed photos I’ve bought that are all in transit, that will all get added to as well.”

The next obvious step is, of course, a visit from the real George Costanza — aka Jason Alexander. This perfect destiny has already been put into motion with Alexander acknowledging the bar — and, in true Costanza form, his failures — on Twitter.

They better make sure the bathroom’s mirror is in top form — the man needs to feel like Robert Wagner in there.
