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!


New Zealand here. I’ve had a pint in The Queen’s Ferry Tavern, The Queen’s Head and The King’s Arms. Also Bar None, The Crow Bar, Murphy’s Irish Pub, The Whitestone Cafe, The Blacksmith, The Q Bar, The Web, The Bull, Studio X, The Rose and Crown, The Office, The Local, The Fat Dog, Broncos, Galbraith’s Ale House and a host more I can’t bring to mind right now.
