    If memory serves me correctly, on the road between Portstewart and Portrush there was a pub called "nobody's inn", so where do you go? To the next pub up the road called "some place else".

    I'd call it "Bitches".

    Turn the B back-ways.

    How about "In Patients" then which has a nice ring and due to my rubbish spelling also made my spell checker come up with another good one "Penitents" although that comes later.

    The hideout. No TV. Arcade machines, only with two player and up options. Boardgames. Basically social props rather than goggle boxes :D Oh and no kids.

    The Hideout was a good gaff back in the day. Were you ever there on the Sunday of a big match? Or on a Tuesday, early morning after two? :) :eek: ;)

    If I owned a pub I would always have cask ale on tap, you could also buy a simple packet of crisps (Tayto/Walkers/King etc) to go with your pint... like pubs used to.

    I would introduce a weekly 'pub quiz' night.

    Lovely jubbly, a pint of widows peg & a packet of dry roasted please :)

    Ahh...

    Dont think there is any decent sized city in The Netherlands without a "Cafe De Buren"
    De Buren translates to neighbours.

    Where are you off to?
    Just to the neighbours.

    But i guess the irish version of that is the office or the gym

    There's a pub in Athens called "The Local". I think it's such a clever name.

    "Where are we going tonight?"
    "The Local"
    "Our or The Local?"
    "Errr, the one with the piss on the walls and mould on the ceiling"
    "Yeah, that."

    ...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

    The f*ck?:confused:

    We've got bars in Limerick called The Office and The Library, only a stone's throw away from each other.

    The Blind Pig was a cool name while it lasted.

    Dark Place would be my name of choice. :cool:

    I would call mine '' Esco-bar''
    I was passing through a town near Galway one day and seen a pub called M.T Pockets, I thought that was clever !

    THe stuff on the walls etc like registration plates and road signs are often trophies brought back from the travels of the locals/regulars and usually come with some mad story.

    Seems like the place to note the Batcave Pub in Lurgan.

    Established 1949, I think.

    The Udrop Inn is in Ballybofey I think.

    I'd probably just call my pub after my surname. None of this English "The Magic Grapes" ****e.

    Oliver Reed died in The Pub in Valletta.

    Not just a pub, but The Pub.

    Nice spot actually.
