The best Pub Name i've yet come across is 'The Frog and Radiator'
Have you seen any perverse pubs recently?
(no making up, now)

[nowhere man]

I wonder where you live, because i dont see many pubs where I live. But if i come across one with a funny name I'll let you know

[trumpetprodigy]

same with me.
I don't think there are very many "pubs" in the U.S.A.

[Math_nerd]

there are lots of "pubs" in the u.s. they just call them bars silly.

Yes, and they don't have too imaginative names... Does "Big Bamboo" sound inspirational?

Generally North Americans are not as good in naming things as the British.

From what I've discovered, here at least in Southern California, Pubs and Bars aren't really the "in" thing to do. Most people attend places called "Clubs" or for a more descriptive term, "Dance Clubs". IN these types of places I have witnessed throngs of young people hyped up on multiple Red Bulls dancing to music that they like to call "Re-Mixes".

To fully describe the after-hours drinking crowd one must also consider the kareoke portion. Kareoke is very popular, but is usually only found in bars/pubs. For instance my local watering hole which I like to call "The Loser's Club", has kareoke on Fridays and Saturday nights. During this time I have been known to make a fool out of myself by singing such time honored classics as "The Pina Colada Song".

I guess my point is that I at least, consider the name of an establishment be the least important factor in deciding if a place is worth spending my time and money.

What this has to do with the topic of this thread...I dont know.

Here in australia we have many, many, pubs. There are 4 or 5 on my street! Yuk! but they all have terrible names, eg 'the commercial' 'the port kembla hotel' 'dicey riley's' 'cooneys' and so forth. And they are generally the places of congregation for true aussie bogans.

We have four bars
theres Neil's tavern, the Palace, Central (it also doubles as a pizza parlor), and Bob's Seldom inn

[Bomadeno]

Ermm.... pubs near me:

The Rosegrower
The Nurseryman
Hemlock Stone
Sherwin Arms

To mention a few. I used to play hockey in the car park of the Rosegrower... The landlord did not like us doing so (yet the peopel drinking there came purely for our entertainment factor....)

lol, great. Sorry i forget that not all the world is full of quaint little villiages with eccentric old pple and 'salt o' the earth' landlords. Not that thats perticuarlarly the case round here, but my parents like to o on holidays to those types of pituresque hamlets.
Clubs always have perticularly boring names like 'the works' etc. however there is one nearby called 'the custurd factory' presumably because it used to be one. and theres one called ipanema, but thats probably just a forign town name or something.

Ahh well, if you do come across any perticularly interesting names - they dont nessessariy have to be for pubs - post them here! and we can all enjoy.

The only one of those that I have ever heard off is Central Pizza. They sponsor a little league team.
