The classic bars of Barcelona and San Sebastian - with their bite size rations garlanded on the bar - have been reincarnated on our shores by way of Brunswick Street venue Naked for Satan.

Located in Fitzroy, the venue is the work of a host of industry pros including the former owners of Lucky Coq and Bimbo Deluxe. The aesthetic of these venues is evident in this new one, but it’s a more refined offering with a substantial investment behind it.

The bar has been dubbed as a pintxo and vodka venue. Considering that these two are in no way linked, it begs the question as to why the pairing came about. First inspection of the venue reveals a restored column still as the centrepiece around which the venue was constructed. Old distillation equipment was uncovered during the renovation and lovingly restored, making an incredible impression upon the small space. So, they can be forgiven for offering what appears to be an odd pairing of concepts.

So head down to check out the venue, grab a plate of pintxos and hold on to your toothpicks to tally your bill. As for the name, you’ll have to ask the staff for more information on the myth of the Russian mobster reported to use the stills to make vodka in the nude.
