What Are Some Good Catchy Bar Names

There are many things we name in life, pets, children and homes. So our home bar deserves a name too. Once you have built your home bar, whether it is indoors or an outdoor one like a pub shed, its time to name it. But what are some good catchy bar names?

I have compiled a list in different categories of names for a home bar, pub shed or garden bar. There may be one you like and by all means use it. However you may not like any of them, but at least it will get your creative juices flowing.

I have come up with as many as I can think of, you may just find the gem you have been looking for.

What Can I Call My Home Bar?

You can literally call your home bar, garden bar or pub shed what you like. After all it is your bar and if you want to call it The Beer Nipple, then go right ahead.

You haven’t got to answer to anyone, you built it, so therefore you name it. You can make it related to you personally, or related to where you live or your favourite place. Perhaps you want a funny name, or you can always go traditional, the choice is yours.

I have put my thinking head on and put together a list of possible bar names.

They are organised in to categories to make it easy, from catchy, funny, animal related to music related bar names.

I hope you find one you like, but even if you don’t it will get you thinking. Reading through my list of bar names might just give you an idea for your own.

At the end of the post I will reveal the name of my pub shed, which I am just starting to build. I’ll give you a clue, it relates to me, my wife Louise and where we live.

What about where you live or your favourite place. Brew York, China Bar, Utah Bar or Beer Island. Pick anything you can think of and just add in something bar, pub or drink related.

What Do I Do Once I Have Named My Home Bar?

It is best to make a shortlist of bar names and then try each one out for a week. Refer to your home bar by each name in turn. You will soon expose your favourite bar name.

Once you have settled on the perfect name for your pub shed or home bar. Then there is only one thing left to do.

Get a sign made up for you bar with its name, this sets it in stone as it were, plus it looks great too. You can go further and have personalised bar mats, glasses, or pump clips.

Some pub shed owners also have the name etched on the door glass too, which does look great as well as professional.

Once you have your name, there is lots you can do with it.

Final Thoughts

I hope you like the list and it will be great if you fell in love with one from my lists and have decided to use it. If not, then I hope it got you thinking and maybe you came up with a great one of your own.

However you can of course always use a name generator.

I mentioned earlier that I would reveal the name of my upcoming pub shed. The name is related to me and my wife Louise, so here goes.

I am originally from London and Lou is from Wales. We also live in Wales, so the name incorporates both of these things.

The name is Welsh Cockney.
