Why do bars have such strong/aggressive names?

The Manhole
The Blue Oyster
The John Thomas
Friendlies
Boxers
Stink Daddy's

You're going to the wrong bars it looks, if you even are I guess.

What are you, a PI?

Nah, I like to take coworkers out for drinks. Get to know them in a more private manner so, in the worst case, they can tell me something I can use against them should the need arise. Mostly, it's to build trust of me. I always pay.

Hey, I'm not a drinker so it makes no difference to me. I choose the bar or area so we can have something other than work to talk about.

There's a gay bar near me called The Mineshaft.

There's a gay bar in Toronto called "Woody's".

Some bars around my hood.
Filthy McNasty's
Monaghans (our college watering hole)
Rad Brothers
The Ivy Arms
Ned Divine's
Brydens
The St. George
The Barber Towne Pub
Nashville North (which doubles as a club. They do line dancing there too)

There's a chain here called Jack Asstor's. Their gimmick was the TOR in Asstor's would flicker out on the sign. They've since come under new owners who sadly classed up the joint, and renamed it Jack Astor's.

You guys know too much about your local gay bars.

I just admire the names, is all!

FWIW, only 2 that I listed were the names of real bars that I know to have existed. One is a famous fictional one, the others I made up...but I bet they exist somewhere.

When I first moved to Chicago years back, I lived across from what was, then, The Manhole (long since replaced). They updated their sign weekly, to keep on top of current events. During March Madness, for example: "More balls slammed than the NCAA."

I can't think of too many aggressive bar names here. There's one called "Dirty Dave's" the rest are mostly normal/generic sounding names. I don't really know the bars very well but found a list online, some are missing though.

L'Armise
Shannnigan's
Standard Tavern
Moneta Pub & Grub (been there, they make awesome fish and chips )
Asif Karoke Dance Bar
Grandview Stoplite Lounge
Club 147 (this is more of a place to go play pool, but guess it can be considered a bar)
Gibby's Tavern

There used to be a lot more bars here though but a lot of them either burned down or closed. Most are in really run down buildings down town. Some of those downtown buildings are quite historic but nobody really maintains them.

I think lot of bars probably died when they passed the no smoking bylaw years ago. Lot of people would go to the bar to have a drink and smoke but now they're not allowed to smoke, it kinda changes everything for those who smoke.

I don't think there's any gay bars here. The whole gay thing is not really popular here like it is down south.

Not sure why you and others here are talking about gay bars. If you want to start a gay bar thread, please do. This thread is NOT about THAT.

Loser.

I haven't been there yet even.

I am glad you get your co-workers drunk so they can't complain you sucked their dick.



The bolded is over the top language, even for OT.

Is the entrance in the back alley?

You truly are an exceptional fuck. I said in the MSFT Insider trading thread that no one would cuff a woman with 4 children. You did it. Loser.

There is always some neck beard who has never seen pussy that is willing to put up with a single mom with 4 kids just for the chance of a blowjob.

You get into pissy little fights with other posters all too often. It is disruptive and unwelcome. Simmer, please.

He's pretty amazing along those lines.

Wow a whole other post you are replying too and I am the loser.

Have a good sucky sucky night with Mongrel.

How did this thread get this far without someone saying: "Posting in a Dari thread"?

 

[SandEagle]

the bars around here are pretty friendly and have cool names too:

-Live, Laugh, Loot
-The Monkey Hangout
-Drink or Die
-Government Cheese
-The Disabled Hobo

I'm pretty sure it ties in with the OP. A bar probably chooses an aggressive name deliberately to distinguish it from a gay bar.

Oil Can Harry's

Went in thinking it was a robot bar.

Was disappointed, but doesn't matter, had sex. :awe:

 

[ImpulsE69]

Something tells me names like:

Drink Here.... or Don't
The Limp Wrist
The Drunk Tank
Expensive Drinks
Where's Your Wife

Just wouldn't have the same draw...

You walk in and there is a single metal bar right in the middle of a room.

Turns out it's a strip joint. :biggrin:
