    ...what would you call it?

    I'd love to think of really fun, unique name that everybody remembers and thinks of. Perhaps call it, "Down the Local" or "The Pig n' Sh1t".

    Also, would it be a quiet country pub or a busy city pub? Would you go for the old traditional style pub with lots of wood and American registration plates above the bar or the modern, bright pub?

    Decor of a pub is very important to me, it needs to be cosy yet pleasing to the eye.

    There is a great little 'old west' type pub in New Mexico called 'No Scum Allowed Saloon' which I would love to visit. :D

    Somewhere.


    "Hey Jim, Do you want to go to Somewhere for a pint?"
    "do you mean somewhere or Somewhere?"
    "Somewhere"
    "With a capital S?"
    "Yes".

    The Last Resort, and it has a big open fire and lots of nooks and crannies and a Wurlitzer jukebox, and most importantly of all, no television.

    Boards should crowd fund and buy a bar and it should be called "After Hours".

    T'wouldn't have a name. Twill be an old white cottage with a door just over 5' high and a thatched roof, a leanto shed off to the side with a few drums of Calor gas and a few bags of feed. There'd be no room to put a name over the door and I'll have a Beamish sign up on the wall and because there won't be any other pub on the island it will be pointless giving it a name

    It has to be sophisticated sounding enough to attract the upper class, but hard enough to pronounce so to discourage the riff-raff.

    For some reason I feel "Porkies" might be a good name for a pub aimed at the After Hours market.

    Another one springs to mind

    "The Firkin"

    A pub near where some friends lived in Devon took such a long time to put up the sign that it became known locally as The Missing Sign, so they decided to call it that when they eventually did put up the sign.
