i dont' know about you but i am highly influenced by the name of a place. if i'm going to try somewhere new and the choice is between 'the red lion' or 'mr medusa's world of mystery' i'd choose the latter in a heartbeat.
is there anywhere you know of in bristol that has a brilliant, original name?

the hobgoblinns sucked me in with the name and its now my favourite place!

Ive always wanted to go to the Scotchman & His Pack, id say thats a great name for a pub!

I always thought The Caltrop Consultancy was an interesting name for a pub! im not sure if its good, or a bit scary!

How about The Monkey and Drumstick? its not a real pub but its a great potential name for a pub!
