This could be the biggest mystery since someone was killing the great chefs of Europe! Hmmmmm…These are just a few of the screen names I saw on the board today that just happen to share a moniker with a drinking establishment. I bet there are a whole lot more. Coincidence? I think not. Hiccup. I don’t know about you, but I want one of those little © symbols after my screen name.
[ul][li]Auntie Em: Auntie (E)m’s Bar & Lounge - (In my hometown of) Seaford, New York[/li]*Auntie M’s Bar and Lounge, similarly, has come a long way-- proving itself to be the little bar that could. Not content with being just another Long Island gay and lesbian watering hole, the owners of Auntie M’s never ceased to stick to their “There’s no place like home” philosophy with their customers and the GLBT community.*They used to keep a pair of pumps with red rubies in a glass case behind the bar. If you wear a size 11EE, I can speak to the owners; Tommy & Dean and ask them if they wanna donate them to you.
[li]Astro: Astro Bar – Berlin GermanySpacige Zeiten im Friedrichshain. Die Astro-Bar ist eine originelle Lounge im Captain-Future-Look’Captain-Future look’ as opposed to ‘Jetson-Future look’[/li]

[li]Eve: Eve’s Hotel Bar & Diner - In the Dana Plaza Hotel, Amman Jordan*Relax, unwind and enjoy your favorite cocktails and drinks at Eve’s Bar & Diner. For pastries or a quick snack during the day or late at night, the Expresso Cafe right at the lobby is there to serve you. *Probably would have been appreciated more if wasn’t in a more exotic locale; like Casablanca Morocco. [/li]
[li]Francesca: Francesca’s Espresso Bar – Boston, Massachusetts[/li]Francesca’s has lots of regular fans who not only patronize the coffee bar, but who also enjoy the cafe fare. Soups, sandwiches and light bites are available along with the requisite pastries, bagels and biscotti
Well, it don’t look like a slop-shoot. It’s more like a classy joint for tea totalers in need of a little caffeine pick-me-up.
[li]Manhattan: Manhattan Bar & Grill – Sarasota, FloridaHome of Sarasota’s Best Martini / Children’s Menu / $6 - 10 daily LunchSomething’s not matching up there. Anyway, there’s one in Shanghai too - but one looks like it has better burgers and even might make a nice venue for the next Floridope Fest.[/li]
[li]Meek: Meeks - Lexington, Mississippi[/li]MEEKS BAR & GRILL

Opal’s Bar & Grill
Doniphan, MO 63935
(573) 996-7819Poplar Bluff. It kind of has that rustic, artsy ring to it.
[li]Otto: Otto’s Restaurant & Bar – Madison, Wisconsin*A comfortable spot to enjoy fine wines, spirits and specialty cocktails (including a wide selection of single-malt Scotch, specialty martinis and mircrobrews)… Otto’s features live jazz on the deck Thursday evenings during the summer, from 5:30 to 7:30.Sounds nice. Was gonna link Otto’s Sea Grill in Freeport, NY – but they’re a competitor on mine who sells canned soup.[/li]
[li]Zebra: Zebra Bar – Palace Hotel – South Melbourne, AustraliaWith its original gold leaf throne in one corner and voluptuous red chaise lounge in the other, the zebra bar is a wonderfully decadent setting for any gathering. *There’s one in almost every city in the world (including NYC’s UES). The Ritz Carlton’s Zebra Bar in DC tops the classy list – but Melbourne’s looks like a nice blend of class & decadence.[/ul][/li]
You can just tell how busy we were at the office this afternoon, can’t ya? I decided to stop @ a nice, round, metric count of ten names. There’s gotta be at least 100 more. I hope someone puts a stop to this outright name theft before it reaches epidemic proportions.
