The Pub Name List- an interesting occurance in the
UK is the strange naming of Pubs. They are always a
combination of nouns and seem in most cases completely
random. Strangest of all is that most make up extraordinarily
unapealing names for a place one would go to consume
food and drink. Here are the ones I have found so far:
The
Bucket of Blood
The Quiet Woman
Dirty Dicks
Pig & Fiddle
Bishops Finger
The Salmon & Compass
Sloshed Frog
Stick & Weasel
The Hat & Feathers
The Fiddler's Elbow
The
Coal Hole
The Water Rats
Bag o' Nails
Pitcher & Piano
Garlic & Shots
The Hoop and Grape
The Hound & Duck
The Hand & Racquet
The Bear and Staff
The Rat and Parrot
Hung Drawn & Quartered
The
Good Samaritan
Star and Garter
Grave Maurice
Pun & Hand
The Bung Hole
The Square Pig
the

the
slug and lettuce
The Red Lion and Pineapple
Fox & Anchor
Fox & Rabbit
The Hound & Fox
Horse's Head
Boar's Head
Turk's Head
Nag's
Head
King's Head
Queen's Head
