Best name for a Bar

Mr Pot

Hi all, I've just overseas to SE Asia and drank in a few Irish themed bars on my travels, shame only two were actually Irish owned. What do you think about the names; we had many converastions over what we'd call an Irish bar overseas. Here are some of the examples we came across and feel free to rate them.

O'Reillys,
Molly Malones,
Hanrahans,
Finnegans,
Tropical Murphys'
Muddy Murphys,
The Dubliner,
Sheannigans,
Irish Exchange.

Waht would you name a bar? And whats the best bar you've drank in Ireland

Or the one from the Firkin chain which has caused me some serious hangovers in the dim and distant past:


The Firkins I used to frequent never got quite as adventurous with their pub names as they could have done though I think.

The Hole in the Wall used to be my local when I lived on the Navan Road. It's the longest pub in Ireland (something like 330 feet long) and is separated into loads of smaller bars down its length. Great place, must pay it a visit some time.


Slightly off-topic but worst pub name - The Igoe Inn, Ballybrack

What about "the Seven Blessings"?

I dont think it actually exists but it would be a class name. Name 7 types of drink and try to have one (or two) from each in one night.

Beer, ale, stout, cider, whiskey, port, vodka

I dont count alcopops as real drinks.

I think it's kinda good, in a way, Beeblebrox.

I think the best is "Free the Paedos"

And for a serious one, "Scruffy Murphy's" sounds irresistable.

tony 2 tone

How about the Camán Inn?

smoke.me.a.kipper

the horse inn.

Mr Pot

The Stagger Inn is a winner so far, any more

I liked one once The Fawcett Inn, not irish though

Melion

Theres a pub in Newmarket in Clare simply called "The Pub", i think its great.

There used to be a pub in or near Nobber (I know, I know) called ... d'Local

I wonder if it's still there

DublinWriter

The Brick and ASBO.

It only exists in my head.

That is all.

homerjay2005

pog mo hoin would be a class name if you were setting up somewhere out foreign.

StiffLitlemicky

There's a pub in county Louth called the 'Cock Inn' :pac:

I think it might be a ghey bar!

Tis a lovely little bar down there. Great for a quiet pint or five!

There's one in Dublin called 'The Cat Dragged Inn'. Excellent name. 'The Long Hall' is a great little double entendre too.

I personally hate all the ones abroad with real Oirish sounding names. We have 'Paddy Malones', two 'Rosie O'Grady's', 'Paddy Hannon's', 'Fibber McGee's', 'Fenians', 'Paddy Maguire's', 'JB O'Reilly's' and 'Durty Nelly's' in Perth to name but a few. All woeful names.

Was once in a bar in Kingston, Ontario called Tír Nanog. They wouldn't believe me when I told them they had it spelled wrong, they said some Irish guys did the sign so it had to be right. :rolleyes:

truecrippler

One in Denmark called Paddie Go Easy... actually there might be three of them. Fun times.

When i was in barbados there was a bar called the holetown whore. It was funnier because holetown was the name of the town but coincidentally enough was located next to mount gay

My favourite that I've been in is "Tuman's Alcohol Abuse Center" in Chicago.

carlowguy32

I like the one in Dublin simply named Peters Pub, its off grafton street

Mr Pot

Yeah been to the Newcombe before and others, used to watch Pompey under the dreadful Graham Rix and Robert Proseneki seasons, load of ****e; as soon as I left Pompey for good the new days and promotion happened, I still keep a very keen eye on them and really admire Redknapp
