Name the New Students' Union Bar!

Name our new bar!

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 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 . . .

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)

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

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.

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.

 
pn8979 wrote 1 year 25 weeks ago

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.

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..

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.
