Pub Names - Any unusual names in your neck of the woods?

[Eric Karonen]

I've got the Queen's Legs around the corner, and a couple of miles south there's the Spotted Dick!

 

[Telarkaster]

There's the C0ck and Bull downtown.

There some other funny ones in French that don't translate well.

 

[Lerb21]

Hmm, the ones around here are pretty average, Carol & Dave's Roadhouse, Cool Springs Express, Forks Inn, Joe's, Bull's Tavern, The Rowdy Buck Roadhouse, so on and so forth...

 

[Mid Life Crisis]

Round here we've got The Poacher, George & Dragon, Golden Ball, Three Horseshoes and there used to be one called Trinity Foot, whatever that meant!

The Jolly Pig in Borger, Texas.

Not sure if they're still open since it's been years since I've been there, but...The Road to Ruin in Logan, New Mexico.

My favourite local one is The Moody Cow. Always worth a laugh to take the wife there.

It's quite common over here for locals to call pubs by nicknames so The Black Swan is usually known as The Mucky Duck.

"Hell In A Bucket"

I always liked The Bitter End, in NYC.

And, my two favorite clubs in Ithaca, NY - The Nines and The Haunt.

There's a place down the street from me--I don't even know it's real name, but the T and the A on the sign have been burned out forever, and it's known to all as The Vern.

 

[Post Toastie]

The Glo Room in Anaheim,Ca

 

[jazztele]

my favorite named place in chicago is "the hungry brain." but it's hardly a comfy pub--more like a hipster hangout.

my personal local favorite was the "sexty sex" lounge on 66th street. sadly, it's switched hands and the owner has switched names...

Just make sure you stay away from 69th Street.

 

[stxrus]

we used to have the "Ecentric Egret" years ago as well as "Casa Loco", "Capt. Weeks 10 Grand Saloon", and "The Wreck Bar". all are gone now but the memories (as i remember them) live on

yeah, well, the area gets a little rough if you go down south of...

oh wait, i get it!

 

[Telewilly]

oh, and then there's always the "Dew Drop Inn".

 

[jimd]

My favorite was the one in college called The Library. If your mom called, your roommate could say "oh he's at the library".

We have the London Pickle Works down the street. I'm still trying to figure out what London has to do with pickles or vice versa. There is absolutely nothing about the place that gives it a British pub type atmosphere.
