Named after the famous and/or infamous Il Governatore of Oltremare, Giuseppe Davide Constantino, the officially accepted story (and there are very, very many stories) is that, following his appointment in 2006 to become the Oltremarino European Forum Non-Voting Representative by his father, the then-Provveditore Generale da Mar of Oltremare, a formal protest was filed within the European Forum that no officially designated bar or lounge had been established for the representatives. After months of bureaucratic delays leading nowhere, the impulsive representative began stockpiling an empty room with various kinds of liquor, wines, and drafts along with rudimentary chairs and couches to unwind after a long day of diplomatic quarrels with other representatives. At first only Representative Constantino's friends and allies were invited to join him, but soon other representatives caught wind of the impromptu construction and began to get enthusiastically involved, petitioning their governments to contribute more international alcohols and furniture and joining the Oltremarino protest, eventually leading to the official establishment of The Gubernatorial Bar in 2008, officially to celebrate the quality and quantity of alcohol that had accumulated, unofficially as an inside joke about the undemocratic nature of Oltremare that the then-Representative Constantino would become the Provveditore Generale da Mar after his father's death, a joke that came true in 2019.
Rumors flow here much like the booze, including stories about Il Governatore meeting his officially non-existent wife here in 1982 somehow, and those who take part are encouraged to leave their quarrels at the door and socialize instead, but that is more of a guideline than an actual rule, and fights have been known to break out from time to time. This explains the constant presence of European Forum Security to ensure representatives don't get too rowdy, and all here can enjoy some rest and relaxation.
