In Britain we have a load of royal named things, e.g “The King’s Head,” “The Prince Henry,” or animal themed pubs like “The Three Pikes,” The Red Lion (most common oub name) or something gorey like “The Hanged Man,” “The Village Chopping Block.” On that note, we also have pubs named after landmarks, e.g “The Old Oak,” “The Anvil.”

Any more modern establishment like a bar can have posher or more postmodern names. Sometimes jokey names.

I was struck by a realisation thst i don’t know how other countries name their pubs amd bars. Would be helpful to know, for understanding other cultures. I even don’t know for places like the USA, which also speak English. Excited to hear your responses!

    The Brass Tap. And it’s one of those bars that is more like a coffee shop than a bar; well lit, sterilized, corporate shit.

    Yeah there are so many of those. Just corporate copy-paste in so many areas which are relatively new.
