What does "that Frank Sinatra at the bar act" mean in this sentence?

When I read a comic book called "Thief of Thieves" by Robert Kirkman, I cannot understand the scene below:

The man is drinking alone at the bar counter and seems deep in thought. And the woman, who was asked by him to meet at the bar, comes and says "Okay, I don't really care how deep you are in that Frank Sinatra at the bar act...you're still buying." They are kind of friends (although their relationship is much more complicated, I just say they are friends to simplify the context).

What does she mean by "that Frank Sinatra at the bar act"? I googled Frank Sinatra and bar but couldn't find other than this medley and Sinatra Piano Bar. Could someone help me with this?


Below is the typical, melancholic image that many Frank Sinatra fans carry of him: sitting at a bar in a trilby hat, a lighted cigarette in one hand, and the perennial glass of hard liquor in the other. Despite the forlorn gaze, Frank Sinatra was one of the best-paid performers in his day, and could easily afford to pay for a couple of drinks.

This image shows the cover of a the Frank Sinatra vinyl record entitled No One Cares, which was published by Capitol Records in 1959. It pictures Frank Sinatra at a bar, surrounded by customers who are oblivious to him. He is resting his cheek in one hand, with his elbows on the bar, and casting down a glum look at the drink he is holding in his other hand.

The line, the Frank Sinatra at the bar act is an original expression, created by the author to suit his specific needs and purposes. The writer could have used hyphens, as suggested by @Lambe in the comments, or used single quotes for clarity. Why he didn't is anyone's guess.

I don't really care how deep you are in that ‘Frank Sinatra at the bar’ act... you're still buying.”

- There were moments when I wondered: did she do this on purpose, was it all just a game, an act?
