New Retro Bar 1969 Opens in Astro Beer Hall’s Basement
et ready to travel back in time. 1969, a vintage-themed bar concept from the owners of Astro Doughnuts & Fried Chicken, holds its grand opening in Shirlington on Thursday, August 15.
This new space is in Astro Beer Hall‘s basement in the Village at Shirlington, at 4001 Campbell Ave.
With a classic 50-seat bar and diner booths, the interior was designed to bring diners back to the year 1969. Custom art and murals inspired by the ’60s line the walls, and there are plenty of retro mementos, including a dial payphone and an “analog blog” — a poster board behind the bar that guests can write messages on via a vintage IBM typewriter.
