    Not just a pub, but The Pub.

    There must already be The Craic Inn? Too much of a good one to be missed?

    It seems The Craic House has been tried and found wanting http://www.dailyedge.ie/craic-house-pub-changes-name-1449032-May2014/ .

    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.

    Not really. Most traditional pubs I do be in might have photos of local teams or the owners on the wall, along with pictures or paintings.

    Road signs sounds like an American "bar" type thing.

    Some pubs have them here, but not really "traditional" Irish pub stuff. Nor alligators wearing sunglasses or any nonsense like that.

    That was my semi-local when I lived there. Loved the name and swore if I ever owned my own (I am a bartender).

    I've seen them in pubs alright but not what I would call a traditional Irish pub.

    Google images for traditional Irish pub doesn't seem to show them either.

    "Yeah, that."

    Dicks last resort is a great spot in Florida and Jamie Ollver called his army truck conversion yoke The Cock In Cider

    An Irishman is never drunk as long as he can hold onto one blade of grass and not fall off the face of the earth.

    The ould fecking fox

    Would it be allowed? Would it result in a man down the street with a monocle writing a sternly worded letter to the council insisting on the removal of the sign?
