Floyds ’58
Floyds = my Dad’s late-nite burger restaurant name, before Pink Floyd
58 = fifties and eighties / 50s & 80s
“rock ‘n’ roll” probably was most successful in the 50s and 80s. Yet the two versions were very different. They had to be, as the first was the first. It never got to grow and mutate in the early days.
The Bar:
The “Bar”, everything is 50s, like Happy Days. Staff uniforms., pastel etc
On everyone else’s side of the bar, the public side, it is GnR, 80s.
Above the bar is a food menu, but it is a retro facsimile. Even though the names match up, the item above the bar is not the modern equivalent in the bar menu.
Bands, sticky carpet, graffiti toilets, all on our side is that. You can’t make patrons dress up, but decor will inspire, plus the glassies who are dressed up 80s. And trivia host. And DJ. etc
Behind the bar is young Britney Spears in a waitress outfit.
With Art Deco milkshake shakers
Um – a real bar, 24/7 with 24/7 food, St Kilda, drive-in (not drive thru)
Or a story about the real bar, and it turns out the barmaids are robots…
