The Sputnik Bar sits on a corner in Laureles with a bright, hand-painted mural of a Soviet-era cosmonaut floating across its exterior wall. It opened in two thousand fourteen as a tribute to the space race, filling its interior with vintage electronics and salvaged scraps from defunct factories. While neighbors originally expected a typical neighborhood tavern, the owners filled the shelves with obscure vinyl records and insisted on playing only analog audio. It remains a spot where people trade digital screens for vacuum tubes.
