This is another one of those I-tell-mine-you-tell-yours threads which came to mind when random rambling thoughts this afternoon led to contemplation of somewhat common bar names I'm fond of. Add any classics you can ponder of. The ones I could shiver out:
Harbor Lights
The Hobnobber
The Lamp Lighter
The Beachcomber
The Amber Light
(Obviously I like the plan of a place with a not heavy in it.)

Perfect Name For a Same-sex attracted Bar.
There was a lgbtq+ bar in my college town called Bullwinkle’s. I have no idea why it was called that. It played loud harmony, and had a DJ on the weekends (a loop on weekdays), except Tuesdays. Tuesdays were “special” nights that rotated through the month. One night was amateur band night for a while, one night was flamboyant night, one night was amateur DJ night.
Anyway, it had a really good dance floor that dated to the disco era, when it was a general disco bar, which is why it has a superior sound system. It also had pool tables an a pinball machine, and a few sit-down tables, but dancing was the “thing” there. It was so accepted for dancing, and the DJ’s apparently so good (I’m not big on dancing), that on Friday and Saturday night a lot of straight couples would go there for the boogie floor.
Bullwinkle’s had no food service. It had strong, expensive drinks, a huge variety of beers, and lots of events. EVERYONE in town knew where and what Bullwinkle’s was. Average age of someone in Bullwinkle’s was about 26.
So, about four blocks away, a sedate gay prevent opened. No music, unless someone played the vintage jukebox filled with 45s. It served so

When I lived in Abu Dhabi there was a candy shop whose owner had translated it’s name to English, using perhaps a less-than-accurate Dictionary.
I thought then (and now) “Butt Lovely House” would be a good gay bar name.
And if you think I’m kidding: Butt Sweet Dwelling | Photo
What were they originally trying for, I wonder?

I’m sorry but the NYC club names Ramrod and Mineshaft will never be beat.

Even if someone managed to figure out this is “Utopia on Earth”, what makes that perfect for a male lover bar? Do gays own a lock on Utopias? I don’t get it.

“Planitia” means “plain”, not “Earth”. Mars also has Hellas Planitia, Arcadia Planitia, Elysium Planitia, etc.
But I consider I’m missing something – why is this a good name for a gay bar?

LGBTQ+ nightlife in Chicago: gay and female homosexual bars, clubs, and more
Chicago’s nightlife is a lot appreciate the city itself — inclusive, diverse, and welcoming to all. It’s also a whole lot of fun. Our gay and queer woman bars have a little bit of something for everyone, with late-night lounges, dance clubs,burlesque and drag shows, and long-standing neighborhood watering holes in almost every corner of the city. And each comes with their own singular history and vibe.
Check out some of the best queer bars and clubs to experience Chicago’s queer nightlife scene.
Jeffery Pub
One of the city’s oldest lgbtq+ bars, Jeffery Pub is a neighborhood institution. The South Shore staple is also one of Chicago’s first black-owned gay bars, making it all the more meaningful for the spot’s many regulars. Don’t overlook the live show, like karaoke nights, Silky Soul Sundays, and a lively dance floor featuring everything from pop to house music.
Big Chicks
This lively and colorful spot is part LGBTQ hangout, part art gallery. The walls are plastered with the owner’s personal collection of paintings and photos, including huge names like Diane Arbus. But don’t think for a second that makes the pla
