Someone was telling me about a bar called

Off the Wagon

Another one: Monk (in honor of Theolonious Monk)

We have one of those in Lubbock...but I think it's actually "He Ain't Here" LOL.

We had a formula like Kitsos - animal + musical instrument (e.g. The Pig & Whistle, which turns out to be a real pub in Fort Worth).

If I owned a bar, I'd name it Howard's End Zone. (Howard's End after the book--it'd have a very English manor feel to it, & last name is Howard too...End Zone b/c my DH would insist on it being a sports bar).

I think the two elements of solid college bar naming come in a.) having a great way to shorten it to one word, or a nickname, and b.) having either sexual or boozing overtones.

On those notes, I'd probably go with something like "the winebox" or "boxcar willy's" so it could be shortened to "the box" - rudey and I would put our bars on opposite sides of the same street, and compete for who has the best thong night, because we're both six years old.

I have been to Off the Wagon in Manhattan.

My Choice
 

I'd call my bar Temptations or I'd re-create the Bronze and have like a cozy little coffee/alcohol joint where they play cool live music by awesome unknown bands.

I don't know, but if I had my own hair salon it would be "curl up and dye." http://www.handykult.de/plaudersmili...py/roflmao.gif

If I had a bar I would want it to be a lounge-y more upscale thing that also served food-- not so much a college bar, although I wouldn't be adverse to having college students there. I'm not sure what the name would be.

Now if I had a gay bar in Ann Arbor, MI I would name it "Man Harbor"

Mr Pink_Bug is actually in the bar business and it's called Legends

I agree with XOMichelle...I would probably want a more upscale lounge-one that does not have 2 dollar you-call-it night. I would want it to have an obscure name like Blue or something...so people would say "Yeah I think we're heading to Blue tonight" and no one would know what they were talking about unless they knew of the place.

they have that hair salon chain here in vegas!!!! haha

There was a salon called that in my hometown. It didn't last very long.

High Maintenance

because thats what i get called every time i'm drinking.

And I would only serve top shelf liquor. Except during happy hour, where PBR and handles of vodka would be available.

Because the prices at bars tend to do this, it just seems appropriate to name it:

Fuck Me In The Ass Bar & Grill

o.O

we have a Legends: Skybox in Ames.

Being part-Irish, I gotta run an Irish dive... and it's name's gotta be Filthy McNasty's!

More of a lounge than a bar
 

I've always wanted to do something like this. I would name it The Pledge House.

Greek letters all over the walls, have a college theme to it. Some nights would be like 1/2 off for anyone in a GLO, things like that. Plus I would rent out to orgs for parties, socials, etc. PLUS do charity events there as well.

Of course this hot spot would be in Chicago.

When it open...GCers will have VIP passes to the soft open.;)

The Bar that's not too Far

The Lifejacket. The bar will be decorated in floatable objects. My campus is about 2-3 blocks from the Kanawha river, and about every 3 years or so, a drunk wonders into the river and drowns.

I love the name of a bar just North of downtown Denver:

"My Brother's Bar."

Tell people you're going there, and if they don't know the place they'll always say, "I didn't know you had a brother who owns a bar!"

I liked the name of one in Waco, Scruphy Murphy's or more affectionately known as Scruff's.

There is a bar in Boston called The 21st Amendment. I might steal that...

"TOMs", The trailer Trash, Get Down Get Funky Bar!

Wont fit on the Sign and to expensive! Damn!:(

"titties and beer"

or i'd prolly just break down and call it howl at the moon cause i bought a franchise...


yah!

I would call it "Drunken Storm's" cause my name is Stormy and I like to drink.

I've been there a few times, couldn't believe it when I saw it :D

Maximum occupancy is like 30 people, but an awesome place for drink...
