You own a pub, what's it called?

[Yug]

THE MANA BAR!!! oh w8.....

I thought of it first

 

[Drop_D-Bombshell]

Beers of War

Saw the pirate ship thread and thought, why the hell not.

You own a great pub/bar, and all you need now is a name to bring in the locals and drunk folk alike (most of the time the same thing). In fact the pub's so good that no one cares whether or not the name is rude, it can be whatever you want.

Mine would be the Redcoat's Demise, it just sounds good, and what with being British and all, i think it goes quite well.

Damn, I was nearly able to answer this question for real. About two years ago a friend approached me with the offer of buying the "leasehold" on a pub. It already had a name but I could have called the thing any damn thing I wanted. However I said no because running a pub is hard work and something I know not much about.


Not sure what I would have called it. I probably would have just started a thread like this and stole the best name off someone else.

'Release the Peados' - Peepshow, Super Hanz.

But honestly, most of the names I've seen that have an '&' in them are kinda catchy and fun to say for me. There's one near where I live called the Slug & Lettuce.

(Double post, yay!)

You wouldn't happen to be talking about the one in Nottingham next to the Cornerhouse would you?

No, this one's in Durbanville, Cape Town, South Africa near the Midas hardware store. :x

Oh. Well, it was worth a try.

Now I must devote my efforts to working out which one copied the other!

 

[N.Manth]

either 'The Queen's Blessing' or 'The Volunteer'

Not hugely original but i love both names.

 

[Generic Redshirt]

'The mother black cap'

no perfumed ponce's allowed

 

[Ghengis John]

"The Chicken's Whiskers."

The Tavern sign is a chicken with a handle-bar mustache.

 

[freakydan]

The Grassy Knoll

Cookie for the reference

I defer to George Carlin's skit in "You Are All Diseased" about bar names. That should be enlightening to a few of you, at least.

 

[William MacKay]

Am I seriously the first to say Puzzles?

thats the puzzle...
OT: O'Alcoholigans.
sounds irish, and you know that theres alcohol.

 

[CommanderKirov]

"Expensive booze, free nuts"

 

[octafish]

The Slaughtered Lamb.

Especially if it was in East Proctor.

Nice, now stick to the path...

Me? I'd buy a pub and not change the fucking name. I used to drink at a place called the Golden Arms named during the 1880's goldrush and a really nice pub, then some douche bought it and called it The Maxx, fucking wanker. Same with the Punter's Club being renamed Bimbo Deluxe and turned into a fucking pizza place. Fucking vandals I tell ya!

If I were to establish a new pub, I'd call it The Criterion, it's a good solid pub name.

'The mother black cap'

no perfumed ponce's allowed

Not the Crow and Crown?

 

[DudeistBelieve]

"The D.W.I."

Drinking While Intoxicated

 

[Arachon]

I'd call it The Drunken Mushroom

 

[Scarim Coral]

I would called my pub "The Drunken Dragon".

 

[me.vicky]

The Screaming Angel

 

[Squallie Greenthumb]

The Ragin' Mage

 

[R4ptur3]

The Tree of unending agonizing pain. with the sub caption stating.

hey it's better than being nagged by your wife.

That sounds so Douglas Adams

 

[MrJKapowey]

In a similar vein to my Pirate ship:

The Wanker's Wrists

Like the Bricklayer's Arms where I live, but better.

The Grassy Knoll

Cookie for the reference

Erm, I can't think of WHAT it could be?

Texas School Book Depositary? Nah.

Lee Harvey Oswald? Nah.

Robert Kennedy? Nah.

Dallas? Nah.

Jack Ruby? Nah.

Yes, I know what you are referencing. OH! Maybe the assassination of John F Kennedy? Nah.
