Literary Pub Names
Apr. 1st, 2014 01:12 pmAccording to The Guardian book blog, there's a new pub about to open in Nottingham called The Lady Chatterley. The question then became what literary pub names would we like to see. My list is below.
From Dickens: The Hard Times or The Pickwick
Parade's End works as a pub name as does "The Great Tree" or "The Groby Tree."
The Seven Pillars of Wisdom would work for a microbrew pub.
The 39 Steps -- if you can negotiate them, you're not drunk.
The Broken Drum (or The Mended Drum) which needs to be big enough for fights.
The Looking Glass (or Symbolic Logic) for Lewis Carroll.
The Two Nations, maybe somewhere around Wapping?
Middlemarch.
The Moon over Soho from Ben Aaronovitch or even just The Rivers of London
The City & The City
Johnson's Ghost
