Stars 'N' Bars - the Kart on the Ceiling


Stars 'N' Bars is famous as a sports bar and restaurant - you'll see Mika Hakkinen's West McClaren Mercedes MP4-15 from 2000 on a wall and here - on the ceiling, no less -  is a kart.  You'll see, if you can read upsidedown, the names of Roberto Toninello and Jules Bianchi.

In the USA, stars and bars refers to the Confederate flag, as distinguished from the stars and stripes of the American flag. The Confederate flag, of course, is controversial.

In a bar, stars and bars could perhaps refer to Dom Perignom's comment upon discovering champagne, in which he declared "I'm drinking stars." But Stars and Bars does not look like a champagne bar.

By the way, I think you will like my photos today and the next two days.

Stars 'N' Bars in Monaco is exactly what it says - there are several bars/restaurants and the place is always full of stars, particularly sports stars but really stars of music, film, etc - more on that another day. The owner is American so there's perhaps a connection too with the American meaning.

Even I never thought of drinking champagne with my hamburger. Maybe I should try it once...
