Coming Soon - a new Students' Union bar!
We're currently refurbishing the Ground Floor of the building to provide a fantastic new space.
All we need is a name - its your bar so we want your suggestions. To make it worth your while we'll give a £50 bar tab to the winner.
The Cellar.. :)

The Ground Hog Bar
Because:
1) It's on the ground floor
2) It'll be so busy (people 'hogging' the bar), everyone can 'pig-out' plus lots of grunting. . . .
3) Excess alcohol induced deja-vu
This is good news, a bar on the ground floor is what the Union has always needed (I was a student here first in 1981 and having the bar on the 2nd floor was always a crap idea)
If you need any help with the licence I have a colleague who wrote the book on the Licencing Act . . .
Mezzanine Bar
Bar is on another level plus Bristol Band Massive Attacks Album is called Mezzanine.
I have a few suggestions: How
I have a few suggestions:
How about Grounded? or maybe GroundHog
Other names that came to my mind..something like say..the hideout or maybe corner room(as it takes up a corner of the building)
and one more.. "Bottoms Up"
Not I said the Walrus
Not I said the Walrus
call it The Raven and Writing
call it
The Raven and Writing Desk
for that "homely" feel you're going for
or the Reunion bar?
You See it is a Play On Words
Reunion Bar
..good suggestion!
UoBar ?
UoBar ?
The Start Line
because lots of people start an evening of lash there.
The Kebab and the Calculator
It was filmed here......
Quench
Quench
No real meanings behind it, just a catchy name
How about 'the Stumble Inn' or 'Bar None'?
I reckon 'bar none' sounds pretty decent!
The Alco-hole!
One more suggestion ;)
Revive
"Revive" - short, catchy, positive and easy for marketing/launching material
"Skybar" - nice and ironic
"Absolute" - for marketing e.g. Absolute Fridays, Absolute Pub Quiz etc etc
Name the New Students' Union Bar!
Grandeur
The Centenary
Kinda fitting since this year actually commemorates 100 Years of UOB. Also makes it sound quite upmarket. If thats what the Union wants to go for.
The Gym
I think the bar should be called the gym. Then all of these people who really just want to say they went to the gym without actually working out would have somewhere to go.
The Queen's Legs
;)
The Moon Under Water
A fictional pub in a short story by George Orwell...always thought it sounded cool!
Bristol Alcohol Repository (BAR)
Short, sweet, to the point
nEpi !!
Short for Next epi
Or new Epi?
Rar Bar
For the rars.
U-Bar-U
Looks and sounds like UBU and is catchy.
Barsome
Pretty clever really i mixed Bar and Awesome together.
Dawesons Leak
reffering to what you will need after your time at the bar and everyone's favorite TV show,
Chuck Norris
Chuck Norris
Full Throttle Aristotle
Is there a limit on how many you can submit?
BARnicles
ay
Chronic Liver Failure
probably won't attract too many customers
Pith
I want to use the word pith to play on the phrase 'piss-up' and the bar being the pith, or core, of the union etc.
I was thinking something like 'Pith of Union' or even 'Pith Up Bristol' (with the added benefit of the first letters forming 'PUB'.
Needs to be a pithy name though. Ha.
LOL
Ha, what a horrible name to have a bar called.
Or is it funny??
BUZE
Thats the one there.
If that isn't used I will eat my cowboy hat.
Bristol Union could be worked in there, too. However, I don't know what Z and E would stand for though.
Perhaps... Bristol Union... Zappy... Elephant.
We could affectionately call it 'the zappy'
Beadle Bar
I wrote a comment which has seemed to have disappeared, so I shall write it again.
Today is the 1 year anniversary of the death of the late, great, Jeremy Beadle.
So that the students of Bristol University do not forget this great man I propose that the new bar be named The Beadle Bar in tribute to him.
LOVE IT!
Hahaha!! I fucking love this!
name for the new bar
my suggestion is The Porters Peril
UNIVERSAL BAR
or just UNIVERSAL
also:
HQ
SOCIETY
INTERACTION
I think it should be
I think it should be called:
'STATE' bar
cos its a social location and 'state' means societal group.. also you may be getting in some messy states there!!
or..
'PLUNGE' bar
you can decide if this means plunging into a drinking session or your studying..
It is a weak pun but....
It is a weak pun but....BAR NONE

The Havel Bar
I like the theme of naming bars after iconic leaders, a la The Mandela Bar. Vaclav Havel is a big humanist and democrat, former Czech President and very important before and after the fall of communism in Eastern Europe. If we name it after him, we could possibly even get him to come and open it, as he's no longer in politics and probably has bit more free time than he did as President.
