Let's try the best name of a bar thread.
Mine would be "Where you want to be"

Take it how you want to.

I think about where I want to be,
but how about if I answer the phone and say "where you want to be?"

Oh well it works either way :)

6. I think "Up Yours" has a cute ring to it!
Could you her an upset woman calling and looking for her husband and hearing "Up Yours" when the phone is answered?

5. When I lived in Florida...
... I once wanted to start a bar called "Sweet Thursday" after Steinbeck's book, have a big copy of the Yousef Karsh portrait of Steinbeck over the bar, sawdust, peanut shells on the floor, etc. Never enough money to do it, though.

9. Father's Office
So you can tell all your non-drinking friends where you go after work and they think, "How nice, helping his Dad with work."

13. The "Union Meeting"
A standing joke among union friends in the entertainment biz (the worker bees, not the royalty). They will call a "union meeting", gatehr in an office, close the door, and open a good bottle of scotch.

Underneath the glitter, Hollywood really is a union town.

16. Phileas T. Pickleshitter's
A nice play on the franchise bar trend, using a possessive, ie Applebee's, TGI Friday's, ad nauseum, no?

No, probably not. But it'd be fun to answer the phone.
