    One of the worst has to be the Vortex in Dunshaughlin. It sike a toilet bleach-

    'Vortex kills 99% of all known germs'

    Ibiza has some of the better names- Pasha, Amnesia, Space


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,320 ✭✭✭MrCreosote


    The Vortex is a classy name. Nicely futuristic. I can just imagine parking up the ol' flying car and cracking out the Robot on the dance floor.

    Spearmint Rhino is a chain of strip clubs in the US. They opened a number if "outlets@ in the UK in the early 00's, Tottenham being one. I assume they're all closed now??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 53,028 ✭✭✭✭ButtersSuki

    Before my time but: "Fat Sam's" in Waterford years ago. Love that name.

    Has just been reopened under a new name (again) as "Sinnott's".

    Sinnott's may not sound too bad, except there is an old record shop beside it that was called....Sinnott's Discs.



    I mean come on like.....

    Well it's like "Bar" in Dublin Airport or thereabouts. If you can't think of a name, you might as well just call it what it is. Like, if I can't think of a name for a cat, then I'll call it either cat or pussy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,459 ✭✭✭Ledger

    Same owners as Sinnott's Discs? No. The Dinn Ri Group (foundry nightclubs) own it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 417 ✭✭chosen1


    We had Slashers in Longford and until recently there was Shags in Skerries

    If you think that's good there's a bar in Mountrath Co. Laois named "The Pub".


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 70 ✭✭Yer_Wan


    There's one in Dungarvan called ph8. It can be pronounced in English (faith) or Irish (fcuked)
