alternative names for shitty bars

i went to a bar last week called "lava gina" on Avenue C in New York ... its name was the least offensive thing about it, the whole decor was based on a "V" - the bar was a V-shape, the stool seats were Vs, even the DJ booth was a V. there were some frondy plants near the door that needed watering. many waves of europeans coming and going. unrecognizable bad chillout music. we ended up going to Uncle Ming's which was like not only an INFINITE improvement in mood, music, and clientele but has an unspoofable name already. anyway here' what we came up with for the first place in a desperate bid for something to talk about as we finished our drinks:

"Designa Vagina"
"Khaki Vagina"
"The Sharper Image"
"Power Dumb"

I often call a laundromat/bar here named Bar of Soap the Bar of Coke. It requires no additional explination.

Not a bar, but a record store --

There was one in Harvard Square (Cambridge, MA) for awhile in the early 90s run by Curtis Casella of Taaang! called "The Kids Will Have Their Say." My co-workers and I at a competing store renamed it "The Kids Will Have To Pay." Likewise self-explanatory.
