Below is a list I’ve lovingly compiled of Japanese bars with weird but charming English names. Presumably the owners thought that the exotic, foreign words would make their establishments sound more international and cosmopolitan to the locals, and yet unwittingly they sound extremely parochial and idiosyncratically Japanese to everyone else. Still, a crazy moniker adds to the allure of a bar for me. I come from England where there are 500-year-old pubs with ridiculous names like “Ye Olde Cheddar Cheese” and “The Fiddling Monkey,” so I have a natural fascination with these oddly-named watering holes. Here they are, in no particular order:

Funny list i used to work in a place called Ye Olde Chesire Cheese.
I think I know that pub!- A really ancient pub somewhere in London, near Fleet Street, where Charles Dickens used to drink. It looks like something out of Harry Potter!
Post Coitus is such a funny name for a bar, Hahaha.
Here in Hong Kong, many buildings here has weird names as well. Most of these names are associated with money but it’s still weird.
‘C’mon’ is I think the most popular name for Japanese – I don’t know, I just can tell. Well don’t get drunk inside the ‘Labia’.

Heh, ha!! Boozee now that’s a weird bar name! So it’s Japanese??? How weird.
So I can take a drink at the place that is obvoiusly a bar because it says it serves bar! Heh, ha.
Yeah, Boozee is a cool bar in Yamato city. The barman looks like a Japan Elvis!
Labia is in Shizuoka somewhere.
I lived in New Zealand for a few years. They had a pub called ‘The Fat Lady’s Arms’!
Was in NZ in 2005 for work. My co-worker’s daughter gave an Irish dance performance at a bar called “The Dog’s Bollocks” (“bollocks” = balls/testicles for my fellow Yanks unfamiliar w/ Commonwealth slang)
Classic name!
Hehe I officially want to visit all of these places
I’ve been to twelve of them!
You forgot “labia” In Shimizu Ku, Shizuoka City I mentioned some time ago!
LOL
Robert-Gilles
Oh and nother one: “Our Boozer” in Shizuoka City, owned by a Pom!
Thanks! Ha ha, yeah, I remember those! I’ll put them on the list.
[...] Roaf has posted a big list of bizarre and amusing bar names he’s come across in his travels in Japan over at Gaijin Tonic: Check it out! [...]
So is “White Lover” the place gaijin go to get picked up by the locals?
I used to live near a Snack called Pub Fanny. And how the hell did they come up with Bollocks Paradium as a name?
It’s a mystery! Pub Fanny is a good one, too!
These might be strange as the name of the shop.
This is also very strange.

In both cases, the feeling is priority.
I know a place called ‘The Full Monty’ in Hakuraku, just off the Toyoko line. Same Place? That one’s actually run by a guy from the UK.
[...] this blog there’s a long list of bizarre bar names, like Bollock Paradium, Pub Smell or Bar Jerk. [...]
Yeah, I think that’s the same “Full Monty”. I didn’t know it was owned by a Brit, though!
there is a place called Ye Olde Bronte Tea rooms near me (Haworth, Yorkshire). And, I’ve been to Gas Panic, also one close to that one in roppongi cos i think there are 2 now, is Lexington Queen. I have to say Gas panic was just red with no place to dance and a bad DJ, but it was happy hour so thumbs up!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, I’ve been to both Lexington Queen and Gas Panic in Roppongi. Not really my scene these days, but the happy hour is good!
oh by the way… off the subject but i guess some people are living in japan and i need some information about visas ect… so, if anyone knows/ has experience about this could they please tell me? or contact me or something
If you look on the “gaijinpot” website they have lots of info about that stuff. From my experience it’s best to get a job before coming, from a company like NOVA.
[...] Strange Japanes Bar Names – Gaijin Tonic [...]
Im opening up a Bar and Restaurant and i can not find a suitable name to name the place. Please give me optional names.
I’m no expert, but I guess it depends what kind of restaurant/bar it is.
I wouldn’t recommend using any of the names on the list above!
So, is your bar in Japan? What kind of place?
About 15 years ago I saw a Snack in Takamatsu, Shikoku called “Bulbous Nose”; next to the sign was a picture of one of Snow White’s dwarves…
o hellow there this is my 1st time here…..just want to ask some advice for a great, an eye catcher name for a snack bar….please help me to find a suitable title for my business…thanks
How about “Midnight Snack”, “Snack Attack” or “Snack My Bitch Up”?!
Panic Away

This helped me out of those DARK PLACES.
