Maybe I'd name it after my favorite bar name when I was in college...

The Library.

"Hey Mom, I'm going to The Library."

There are quite a few college bars in Wisconsin by that name. Here we just try to be sneaky and pretend Murph's is our friend Murphy's house.

There's also a college bar called Grandma's, I think that's my favorite. ;)

The Yellow Goose Pub. One of my sisters and I were joking around saying that we wanted to open up a bar, and that's what we were going to call it. My pledge name was Daisy and hers was Goose so Yellow Goose Pub because it incorporates both of our pledge names.

There's a bar in Scarborough, ON that's called "Cougars". It's run by 2 40-something year old women.


If I had a bar...what would I call it. I don't know. I can't think of anything right now. My job stifles my creativity.

LuaBlanca 02-11-2004 03:01 PM

there's a bar in boston called "the littlest bar in boston" and i'd probably rip that off and name it "the littlest bar in [insert city here]"

wreckingcrew 02-11-2004 03:05 PM

The Stumbling Buffalo.

We had naming rules for bars in our chapter. If your house or apartment had a bar, you had to follow the naming formula:

adjective + mammal

We had the,

Dirty Weasel
Moody Marmot
Sly Beaver
Mucky Duck
Stumbling Buffalo

Yeah, i know a duck's not a mammal, but they had one of those duck phones that would quack instead of ring, so it was kind of a given.

Kitso
KS 361 times i'd announce at the end of chapter, Tuesday Night Quarters at the Buffalo!

PhiPsiRuss 02-11-2004 03:07 PM

This may be stolen from a Jimmy Buffet song, but I'd call it the "Dew Drop Inn."

And since Kitso reminded me, one of my favorite in-house bars when I was a Phi Psi was the "Dirty Dog Lounge."

I naturally would call mine the Geeky Penguin, then. :p

NutBrnHair 02-11-2004 03:10 PM

"He's Not Here" is a great name for a bar -- neat place that's been around since the '70s in Chapel Hill, NC.

Also, my bar would serve "Donkey punch", "jelly doughnuts", and more.

You'd need to get a Penguin phone.

Or maybe one of those Penguins from the Bud Ice commericals that would sing, "doobie, doobie doo"

I had stuffed buffalos all over the bar and a picture of a buffalo on the wall.

Where are these animal phones you all speak of?

where is that??

Kevin 02-11-2004 04:06 PM

I remember a bar that I've driven past several times in a small town in Oklahoma (Cushing) (pop 7000).

It's simply called "Beer".

It has a big light up beer mug.

I guess that's truth in advertising though:D

kddani 02-11-2004 04:25 PM

There's a guy I know named Todd, he wants to open a bar and call it "Re-Todd's". Very very wrong and in poor taste, but we laughed our @sses off about it.

sigtau305 02-11-2004 04:43 PM

I'd call it " The Little Bar and Grille'. just like the one here in Cleveland

jh124 02-11-2004 05:07 PM

Either "Roxanne's" or "Fat Dog's House of Beer". Both are one in the same and my very best friend for the past fifteen years.

Rox partied hard at Chico State. Many a frat party did we stumble home together. Not that I ever gave her beer, but man-oh-man was she a beer whore. She'd find any cup that was left unattended.

She's been in AA and weight watchers since we both graduated.

Ok, that's TMI about the damn dog.;)

There is a bar in my college town called "Group Therapy." I always thought that was clever.

damasa 02-11-2004 10:14 PM

I would name my bar "El Sketchy Mono."

Seriously...

There is a club w/ this name in Houston. :D

There's also a little hole in the wall called "She's Not Here".

Mine would probably be something silly like "Pink Elephants."

ETA - my personal favorite is a bar just off of Purdue's campus called The Chocolate Shoppe. It was a Prohibition-era speakeasy that passed itself off as an ice cream parlor back in the day. You can still see the trap doors and hidden panels where they stashed the hooch.

DigitalAngel126 02-12-2004 12:25 AM

There was a bar in the town I went to college in called The Chug. I like that. I can't think of anything else off the top of my head...

chideltjen 02-12-2004 12:33 AM

there is a bar in sacto called "the monkey bar." I always thought that was cute.

Peaches-n-Cream 02-12-2004 12:53 AM

I would call my bar Spinsters 3 or Nowhere or Dirty Little Secret.

cutiepatootie 02-12-2004 01:51 AM

the bar crawl

AOPIHottie 02-12-2004 01:54 AM

My fav bar here is called Barflys. I think thats the funniest name-and everyone who goes there is a barfly!!! But if I had a bar(which I actually hope to have one day) I want to call it Pussykats-and the female bartenders would wear kitty ears-yes, cheesy I know. Some friends and i thought that up forever ago and it kinda stuck.

CatStarESP4 02-12-2004 01:54 AM

I guess mine would have be called "The Tortoiseshell Cat" or "The Burgundy Lizard"!

It doesn't quack. They don't quack? I don't want a phone that just looks like a duck. You gotta be weird and have a hunting obsession to want one that just looks like a duck without quacking.

which describes much of what came to be known as the "East Texas Contigent" of my chapter.

We have (well, had) a Group Therapy! I used to love going there, but it is now owned by someone else and it's been renamed to something so stupid that I don't even remember it.
