Default Best Pub Names Ever

Doesn't have to be just pubs, it can be any type of drinking establishment or restaurant with an odd or quirky name.

Most pubs around the Midlands seem to have pretty crap names, but I still remember one of my favourites from a trip to Somerset last year, The Rat and Trumpet. I guess the owners just put two random objects together and said 'that'll do'. I hear the manager's planning on opening another bar called The Screwdriver and Hitler. And of course there's the classic 'The Jury's Inn'.

Yates Wine Lodge. Not really that funny on its own, but the name suggests a classy bar with a pleasant atmosphere... instead its chav central with wall to wall piss-weak-beer drinkers.

The Funky Winker Bean Pub in Vancouver has by far the best name I've ever seen for a pub. Problem is it's an absolute dump and junkies use their bathroom as a shooting gallery.

Divot's Bar & Grill

It's called "Divots" because there's a golf course across the two-lane back top. Mind, this is a golf course in one of the poorest counties in Missouri, and it too serves beer, and the locals (my neighbors) usually go there to get wildly drunk, tear around in golf carts, and tell obscene jokes that would make Mel Gibson blush.

....but, I lose myself. This bar is located in a single wide trailer, tin roof and all, the pool tables and shuffle board are warped, and all beer costs $1.50 - with selections ranging from Budweiser (high end) to Beer 30 (which is cheaper than Natty), and it has a variety of malt liquor including Camo & this strange **** called "Joose" that turns your vomit the colours of the rainbow.

....so, what's so great about the bars name? The goddamn locals pronounce it "Devo's", and I think that is about as hilarious as it gets.

There's plenty of pubs like that here with completely random names, The Cat and Bagpipes for example, or The Hook and Tackle. I might set up a pub called The Cock and Balls and have a picture of a rooster with two footballs on the front.

The best pub name I've come across is a place called The Deadman's Inn, just outside Dublin on the M6. Badass.

Hook and Tackle is fishing equipment, so I'd guess its near a lake or something yeah?

Ditto, just spotted it passing through a village.

I wanted to try get work in a bar recently and have no experience so I decided to invent a bar I worked in before. I named it The Molehouse. No questions ever!

our pubs have pretty run of the mill names

Chinese shops, on the other hand

there was a street with one shop called "Wee Ken Fatt" on it, and on the opposite, "Soh Ken Wee"

There's a Chinese restaurant in Liverpool called Wok This Way.
