If you owned a pub, what would you call it?

I'll go:

"The Fat Labrador"

or simply The Fat Lab

I would be known for serving generous portions and puddings would swim in custard.

The Wolf & The Moon

Sounds cool. Incorporates mine and my partners name. The sign post bit would be an awesome picture.

The Juicy Lucy

We named our dissection dog Juicy Lucy. She was...moist.

TheeNotoriousPIG · 28/05/2026 18:46

I like your suggestion of The Fat Lab... and I love food... and proper puddings with custard!

I'd go for The Scary Canary, just because it rhymes. Another homemade pub that I came across in a book was called the Stagger Inn!

Another vote for The Slaughtered Lamb

The Spyglass. I just love the name and association with pirates. I'm from Bristol so makes sense.

The Librarian and the Law (Ook).

PS the Broken Drum is a bit obvious really.

The Finger Inn.

I have sights on a local huge pub that I always thought was shut down (it isn't )

In my Lottery Winner dreams I will buy it and change the name to The Glass and Postcard

My dd1 and her dp want to open a bar and call it “Cahoots”. So when people are arranging to meet up they can say “come and meet us. We’re in Cahoots”!
