View Full Version : Great Names of Pubs or Restaurants
There is an old diner near Darien, CT..
( I think it's closed down- I'm not sure ),
but it's called,
"Swanky Franks".
The sign is still there, with a letter missing..Classic.
I was thinking how "The Wicked Monk" would go over in the Boston area...Tall J, comment?

There was also a Chinese Restaurant in Hewlett (Long Island) called Fu's Rush Inn. It always made me chuckle.

I believe there used to be a restaurant in DC called <b>Taiwan On</b>, or some variation on that. I can't seem to find it on the internet so it may not exist anymore.

I'm not kidding, that boy's head is like Sputnik; spherical but quite pointy at parts! Aye, now that was offsides, now wasn't it?

Well, I was going to mention "Tequila Mockingbird," or the old biker bar in DC that closed a few years ago called "The Crow Bar," but since everyone is going with an Asian flavor, the Chinese restaurant near my apartment, on Columbia Pike, is called simply "Oriental Restaurant."

I still maintain the greatest estalishment name ever :"Bill's Air Condtioned Tavern".
Main St., Butler, NJ. Walk past on a summer evening and hear the locals rocking out to the strains of Lynyrd Skynyrd and .38 Special. It sounds like a movie, I know, but it's as real as it gets.

but it's called,
"Swanky Franks".
It's actually in Norwalk, directly across the street from I-95 exit 14 (Southbound). I assure you, it's still open and packed everytime I drive by.

There's a Brazilian restaurant in DC called "The Grille from Ipanema".
The "Tune Inn" on Capital Hill.
"Ray's The Steaks" (get it?) here in Rosslyn.
Oh yeah, and "BAR" in New Haven, CT.

There is a place in New Rochelle that everyone calls Greasy Nick's. The real name of the place is Leno's Clam Bar. It's related to Jay Leno somehow. Great steamers and awesome burgers.

A sushi place just opened in my neighborhood called "Ichi-ro". Honoring the ballplayer perhaps?
I always like pubby type names, too, like "The Pig & Whistle", "The Cask & Flagon", or "The Bull & Bear."

There used to be a restaurant in New York City in midtown Manhattan called "Everybody Loves Pancakes". Not sure if it's still there or not. I drove past there about 5 years ago and the name of the place always stuck in my mind. Now I'm hungry...

There's a pub just south of Portland called "Wanker's Corner." If you're thirsty, they'd be more than happy to whip up a batch...of their delicious microbrew!

When you're on the blessed rock that is Staten Island:
Grab yourself a fine sandwich at the:
"FILL YOUR BELLY DELI"
&
Find the greatest Japanese cuisine in the borough (talk about slim pickins), head on over to:
"SUSHI EXCELLENT"
