I am Interested in Buying a Bar, and can't figure out a good name. Any Ideas?

Question

the bar is currently called "Chips" Witch it has been since 60-somthin. It was originally owned by my Uncle Dick who was nick named "chip" Hence the Name. or Should I change it at all? What DO you Think.

Answer 1

Name recognition is important. Keep it the same, unless you are changing everything else. If your bar is going to be ALL NEW with all new clients, then you can start from scratch.

My friend bought "Bill's Friendly Tavern" and revampted it completely and named it Original Joe's Famous Tavern. Joe is doing pretty good with an all new look.

Answer 2

I'd name it "The New Chips" or something like that. Keep the old but bring in the new..

Answer 3

If you're name is Chip or Dick I would keep it this way. ;->
I would not change it to Rude Dog, or any other type of animal.

Answer 4

If the bar is profitable, and you do like the customer base keep the name.

Answer 5

if i were you i'd keep the name this way you'd keep most of its regular customers or maybe just add something to it just have something you'd call your own like chip trick or chipshot. it's all up to you, you know what's best just a suggestion

Answer 6

If the business still maintains a good clientelle. I would keep the name the same.

Answer 7

Leave it alone until you get established . You dont want to start out with all your Uncles Customers leaving .

Answer 8

u can name your bar as like GO 4 CHIP.
OR you can go for UNCLE CHIPS BAR " U DIP IN "

Answer 9

Maybe you should name it "Yep it's still Chips" The regulars will like it. (I think)

Answer 10

I think you should call it "Rude Doggs Bar"
