> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by turner \* > \*\*How about Tripple Deco–ties in three floors with the art community \*\* Or Tripple Decca. “Round September,” suggested earlier, might work. I think “The Crooked Smith” would sound cool. Of course, if I had a bar, I’d call it something like the Nyx, the Phoebus, or the Hyperium. ---

Of course, just “Minus One” could work too. ---

A few years back we had a bar in the area called **No Dogs Allowed**. It did an alright business, attracted a younger crowd so I didn’t care much for it (but I figure you’re in this for the $$$, so thought I’d mention it)… For several years, there has been one near the dam in the river that’s called **The Dam Tap**. Only works in the right context, so if you aren’t near a dam, that name just wouldn’t get it… Good luck with the naming… ---

Throw some pictures of boats and sailors all around the place. Call it THE SALTY SEAMAN. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Balance \*\*\* > > If I owned a bar, I would (after checking with Spider Robinson) call it “Callahan’s”–never mind that I’ve never even met anyone named Callahan.\*\* It would have a lot to live up to, but you may as well aim high. The glass bill would be high, too. One of the latest joke pics to find its way into my inbox was of an establishment named, **"Beaver Liquors"** ---

Lost Property although some legal issues may be involved i think a great name would be “great expectations” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/help-me-name-a-bar/80400.md?page=3)
