I would definitely eat there and give a big tip.

Oh, Chinese restaurants...

I've seen one called Fook Yew before, if that qualifies. On the random subject of them, I once named a story I'd written after a Chinese that's up my local high street.

This one is fictional, but it's the best ever:

The Hairy Lemon

Like hiphop bunny`s contribution, this pub also has a name that you have to be a local to pronounce with any confidence :

Hautboy Inn, Ockham, Surrey, GU23 6NP - pub details # beerintheevening.com

Well, maybe the name`s not that great, but if you take the trouble of clicking on "Image 2" in the link, you`ll see what a strange pub it was. It was like drinking in a church that had a bar instead of an altar.

I actually know two bars in that francise, and they're both quite close to my house. It seems to be a popular place at the moment, probably due to a bunch of hipster douchebags wanting to be ironic by going to the most revolting sounding pub in town.

The House of the Crazy Hen (Madrid, Spain).

I've just been reminded of a pub up north called The Moving Stairs. It stands ou no only for having a cool name, but for also having a very nice facade that seemed to have been collaged together from things like tin sheets. The really interesting part was that the facade looked quite similar to the cover of a Death Cab For Cutie album that was released a couple of years after I saw the pub. The name of the album? Narrow Stairs, of all things.

Not the greatest or even great, but this bar is called the Rathskellar. It is only the bottom floor of this building.

I just think it's funny that it is nicknamed the RapeCellar

One of my favorite bars in Chicago: The Hungry Brain.

Wasn't Funky Winker Bean some kind of comic strip?

I'm pretty sure it means "rat cellar" not "rape cellar". And it's just a German term for a bar that's below street level.
