Curious George: Name my friends bar So my friend is opening a sports lounge bar in a basement space and they need an awesome catchy name. Any monkeys have sugestions?

They would prefer to include all sports in the name. Thanks.

  • Possible sports bar names I have yet to see: Straps RSI's The Dislocated Shoulder The Torn Ligament The Busted Kneecap Scores Roster Benchy's
  • Hit The Showers. Excessive Celebration. Fuck The Ref. Power Play. Hat Trick. Overpaid Thugs. The D.L. Gooooooooooooooal! Monday Morning Quarterback. Juiced.
  • "The 18th Hole?" Ties in golf, "watering hole," and the fact that it's underground.
  • Scores is a famous strip club in Manhattan. "The Dugout"
  • Jacques The Scrum The Pitch The Final Four Basement Bleachers (By the way, there is a sports bar a couple blocks from my house called "Scobies" which I always misread as Scabies. Don't know if that is the direction they want to take...)
  • The National Drinking League.
  • The Basements Are Loaded Basement On Balls FellerCellar Underground Rule Double The Belt Below Down For The Count* Low And Inside * for real humor, the third "o" in the neon sign can occasionally be "burned out"...
  • Overtime Downtown
  • All "Major League" references: Jobu's Harry Doyle's Cerrano's About 90 Feet Just A Bit Outside The "I'm gonna catch on somewhere else and every time that I pitch against you I'm gonna stick it up you're fuckin' ass!" I'm a little drunk and find all of these funny, sorry.
  • Whistleblowers Placer Bets All That Glitters Is Not Goaled The Monkey Bar The Bardo The Bar Sinister Longshots' Bar Bingo's The Bull Moos The Pubhouse Tern Homestretch Furlongs Spurs Cockers Lucky's Corks Coyote Seppo's Third Eye
  • The Plucky Underdog
  • The Blind Referee Bar
  • Sporty McSporterson's Sports-o-rific Sports Bar!
  • Running ahead so far is beeswacky's "Longshots," though the dark horse race is close between grover96's "Major League" references and kittenhead's gorgeous curveball.
  • I'm not sure what "include all sports" means unless you mean something like "Jerry's Tennis Baseball Football NFL Lacrosse Ping-Pong Basketball Jacks Hockey Swimming All That Winter Shit Bar," or else something generic. Probably option B? I don't think you need to be so generic. List a sports reference, even if it's specific to a sport, and people will get it. They won't say "Oh, it's called 'Extra Innings,' so I guess they only watch baseball there." Suggestions: The Double (works for both booze and sports) The Clubhouse Instant Replay The Highlight Reel Jim Rome is a Fucking Douchebag No, Seriously, How Does Jim Rome Have a Career, I Mean, The Man Reads at a Sixth Grade Level The Final Lap The Victory Lap Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooal! Touchdown Vicki's
  • Horndogs The White Swallow Babylon The Tool Shed The place where troll like versions of Carson Daly wear stovepipe jeans and untucked shirts while engaging in subtly homoerotic activities that are designed to mimic the image of male identity that they get from watching TV and being poorly educated.
  • 7th Inning Stretch Furlong Goal! Touchdown! America's Cup Fifth Base Home First and Ten Ballgame Timeout
  • The Celtic Rangers GropeDown (for our Scottish viewers)
  • As a person who Jim Rome called "Either the greatest listener of biggest loser" I take offense to the suggestion mct.
  • of should read or...did I say I was a little drunk?
  • Balls Underdogs Odd Man Out Fan Favorites Sidelines MVP or MVB (Bar) Best Damn Sports Bar Ever Odds On Favorite Down For The Count Low and Inside Necessary Roughness Overtime
  • A Game of Two Halves (Actually, I'm fond of The Dugout, since it's a basement.)
  • 'The Inflated Bladder' leaps to mind. In addition: Pass and Pigskin Balls and Basement Linament and Lunkhead Jock on Down
  • I first thought of the Dugout also.
  • Drunk & Sports
  • The Drunker Bunker
  • That Place That Serves Beer and Has TVs, You Know, Over By the Thing.
  • Steroids
  • Low Bar or The Beer Cellar
  • Overtime. Extra Innings.
  • Sports Stein
  • well,, Sportstein
  • lowering the bar helping widows and orphans as in, "where the hell were you tonight?" "helping widows and orphans!" the puck stops here (probably used) stool pundits drink and diatribe booze 'n' vooze
  • I hereby name all of your friends "bar".
  • Offside Home Team Hangout The Extra Point The Drop Shot Endzone Shortstop The Bullpen (where you can order many pitchers) In The Zone
  • Daffery's Shucks Snaps Pranks Any Sport in a Storm Fizz Knacks Cadger's Dram's Sureshots Pipers Bar Savvy's The Brass Zillion Bar Tattoos [spelled that way] Coots
  • Oh great, just what civilization needs like it needs a hole in the head, another sports bar. Am I the only that thinks the world went to hell in a handbasket when it was decided that bars have to have TV's?
  • Am I the only that thinks the world went to hell in a handbasket when it was decided that bars have to have TV's? Yep.
