    I'm looking at opening a bar and I'm really struggling with coming up with a name. The concept is a chilled out cocktail bar with a blanket ban on auto tuned music. Hoping to have live acoustic and indie bands playing as well.

    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    The trend seems to be to name your bar a bullshit made up word, like Arta or Pivo Pivo. Gives the place a uniqueness or exclusivity or something.

    I say you call it something cheeky/controversial like "*". Maybe make the logo a big pink cat or something. That'll get people talking about it.

    I like the suggestion and completely agree with your point about bullshit bar names. I want a name to reflect the chilled atmosphere. A name that says this is a good place to hang out.

    call it something like "Haven".

    Infact, I'm quite chuffed with that effort.
