The way bar names are going, I'd call mine

"Nip nip nip nip nip nip harangue"

― mark grout (mark grout), Friday, 7 May 2004 09:34 (twenty-two years ago)

I hate all those trendy bar names, like the "Slug and Buffalo" or whatever. I'd probably call mine something incredibly dull like "The Pub".

(actually, that's one too many nips. But what the heck, leave it like that)

― mark grout (mark grout), Friday, 7 May 2004 09:39 (twenty-two years ago)

You can never have too many nips.

Oooh, what a lovely question! I've got to think about this.

Probably VIRGINIA WOOLFE'S BURGER BAR!!!

The Ritzy, or Raffles.

Nip's a beautiful word. are using it to mean "kiss" CJ?

I thought it meant a glass of hooch, i.e. a nip of Scotch.

Kisses sound nicer, though.

Wull you nip ma pal Robbie?

― Rumpy Pumpkin (rumpypumpkin), Friday, 7 May 2004 09:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Certainly, Rumpy

When I was at school i didn't really notice just how cute and twee 'nip' is. kinda somes up glasgow's twee/hard dichotomy.

i'm really tired today. articulacy is over.

Are you going down the Firken pub?

― Mikey G (Mikey G), Friday, 7 May 2004 09:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Actually, I just realised it's an excellent name. (xpost)

And now I've posted it here, I have the copyright. (see FAQ page)

i wish scotland had more "this and that" pubs. i can only think of the crown and crichton. i've been told many fun car games can be played with pubs of this sort.

i like Phoenix as a motif, but only for a pub not a bar. i'd have to call my bar something wanky like Arcade, but then the temptation would be too great to not put an arcade in it - but this would be alright as booze and Dance Dance Revolution really need to get together on a more regular basis

― stevem (blueski), Friday, 7 May 2004 10:00 (twenty-two years ago)

There's a Phoenix in my home town.

― dog latin (dog latin), Friday, 7 May 2004 10:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Glasgow's only non-smoking pub is, hilariously*, called phoenix.

― Robbie Lumsden (Wallace Stevens HQ), Friday, 7 May 2004 10:04 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm tempted to go and burn it down, just to be ironic.

On some website where people created their own slave nations someone called theirs empire of the sun egg. I quite like that. Signiture cocktail, the tragic slut. Barman, do you serve tragic sluts in this establishment?

Coma Trinkhalle. (German for the "Coma Drinking Hall", as you may be aware -- not that I'm German or anything, but it's an anagram of my name.)

i've wanted to open an offie called the "Get Pissed" off-licence.

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 7 May 2004 12:10 (twenty-two years ago)

i always wanted to find a 'real ale' type beverage called "Your Piss".

'Landlord, a pint of Your Piss, please. in a straight glass, mind.'

Somewhat unrelated, but a friend swears he saw a sign for a janitor's service name Janitalia yesterday.

If you opened a chip shop what would you call it?
