I don’t know anything about the bar business but do have a friend in the business–she and her husband own several bars/restaurants and a couple of years ago opened a beach bar with non-restaurant knowledgeable investors–it was a nightmare because the investors were “active” and would show up with their friends talking about “my bar” and wanting free drinks and food, etc. They also wanted lots of input in the remodeling of the bar and their inexperience in the business was a problem. For example, the restrooms should have as much tile as possible. Why? Easy clean up of vomit and other bodily fluids that will get deposited. The investors wanted the restrooms to simply be painted. This is all second hand, obviously–do you have any friends in the business you could consult?
Another possibility is to get it off the ground yourself and then down the road bring in investors through an LLC or something like that. I guess I lean towards doing it yourself unless you really need their money to make it happen. That way you can do exactly what you want and won’t have to deal with anyone else’s BS.
That is exactly my take on it plus it means I get to take home all the moolah that I’m expecting to make LOL. My fiance thinks that we need to bring in investors so that I don’t lose my money if it doesn’t work out. My thing is that this is ‘found’ money (ie I didn’t have to work for it) so if it doesn’t work, I haven’t really lost anything that I didn’t have before (although my father is rolling in his grave to hear me say that) and I think between the two of us we have enough business sense to pull this off as we are both planning to be very involved, with me running the daytime side of things and him running the nights.
I like the name Deep Water Bar, as it’s on the Deep Water Harbour but will run all these names past SO and see what he thinks.
Okay, how about Sundowners, with a fiery setting sun as a logo?
In going with a nautical setting, I recall a bar in Annapolis named after Admiral Fell. The Admiral Fell Inn.
Nah, that would not be right without a fireplace.

Yellow walls, eh. How about ** The Gold Bar.**
Or maybe The Crow Bar.
I suggest Deep Water Harbar, but I’m punny like that.
My favorite bar name of all time is The Office.
“Hi, honey, don’t wait up, I’ll be stuck at The Office until late.” 
McPlastered’s. Then you can benefit from the free publicity when McDonald’s sues you for using a “Mc” name. Plus “McPlastered’s” is kind of fun to say.
Okay, not really. Got nothin’.
Off the Deep End
Maybe kind of a Sloppy Joe’s ripoff: Hemingway’s or Papa’s
Or maybe: He’s Not Here
Or: Bar None
The bars I have seen that are successful in a tourist area serve GOOD food during the day, with kind of a boisterous noisy atmosphere. Then at night they have decent live entertainment, mostly rock bands. Good luck, the first round’s on me.

Gut Level (one of my personal fav.'s)
Dock O’ the Bay
Happy Fun Bar
Foo bar? (a.k.a. “Fubar”)
Before I read this thread, “Dizzyland” was my favorite name for a bar. Now that distinction goes to “McPlastered’s”.
But “Deep Water Harbar” would be your best choice.
You’re about 30 miles off - the Admiral Fell is in Baltimore (in the part of town known as Fell’s Point, no less).
I like the Deep Water Harbour (without the pun, which makes me cringe to read it), or just the Deep Water Bar.

Hows about The Barfing Leprechaun. Goes nicely with the rainbow (is it always just there?) You could have a shingle hanging over the door cut into the shape of a doubled over and retching leprechaun…and immediately beneath it you can mess up the sidewalk with like, cement or paint…some kind of faux vomitus.
On second thought, don’t do that theme. I’m gonna.
Daybreak is awful. Sounds like a 40-somethings’ loser “Eagles” bar where a bunch of pre-retirees come to listen to Barry sing “Mandy” and pine away for their lost and disspent youth while they slide quietly into the downward spiral that is middle age. Unless that’s the crowd you’re shooting for in which case, it’s a brilliant name.
