I pass a "Fox and Newt" on my walk home from work, I always giggle a little inside. Also the some reason one called "The Skyrack" amuses me too, sounds like some mythical torture device.

"the bankers draft" is always funny after a pint or 2 and people start changing the beginning of each word

The Alex.

Bit odd, that one, but it's down Alexandra Road. Used to be called Top Alex, there was another one down the road called Bottom Alex

Edit: And the rock club in Rayleigh called The Pink Toothbrush.

"The Old **** Inn" always raises a smile for me..

There's a Brahms & Liszt in Glasgow, it's a wine bar so I've obviously not been in it.

We've got pairs of glasses with pieces of music by Brahms an Liszt respectively on them, they're nice and subtle

(by pairs of glasses I mean matched sets of two drinking vessels. Not spectacles. That would be stupid.)

Used to be a pub around here called The Office, which was a good one for the phone call home.

Aparently there was an idea to call another local pub, recently converted from a mental institute, the March Hare, but this was changed on grounds of sensitivity to former residents, who had been moved to an establishment nearby.
