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 Tuxedo Cat

There's a micro pub called 'The Handsome Sam' in Whitstable accompanied with a pub sign of a beautiful tuxedo cat - I've never been in, but I'm lured by the signage..

I have a selection:
The Gallifrey (niche) (sign is gallifreyan for 'pub')
The Pankhurst Arms (sign is Emmeline, Christabel, Sylvia and Adele in the Queen bohemian rhapsody formation)
The Bedknob and Broomstick (Angela Lansbury with a raised eyebrow)

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

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”!

Brilliant

This already exists. It’s off Carnaby Street.

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

Dare I ask what a dissection dog is?

So when you train as a vet you get given a dog to dissect to learn anatomy. The dog lasts about six months as it's preserved but does get gradually juicier as time goes on...

My DH and have talked about this many times, and our most recent offering is The Frazzled Parent

DappledThings · 28/05/2026 19:38

The Duckworth Lewis. It would be cricket themed with guest beers from each Test playing nation on rotation.

The menu would be set out as:
Openers (starters)
Middle Order (mains)
Extras (side dishes)
Tailenders (desserts)

The Ivor big inn.

Or if it was in Spain or somewhere. Bar Humbug

piscofrisco · 28/05/2026 19:43

I went to a pub once called The Blown Rose and j thought it was lovely. So I’d probably nick that.

If it were my a church it would be The Vicars Dog.

or if it were by a pond it would be ‘The moon in the pond’

Ive thought about this at length
