A robot cranking a gramophone in a Vilnius steampunk bar

A robot hand-cranking a gramophone sits in a vault in a Vilnius steampunk bar Variokas (“Copper Coin”). It’s amazing that a city the size of Vilnius can support a steampunk bar, while Austin, at four times the size, could not sustain one for more than a couple of years.

The bar is very close to where I lived as a child. Back then I used to explore the basements and secret passages between the apartment houses in my neighborhood. If my childhood self only knew that a basement right next door will one day contain such wonders, her mind would be blown.
