names for a Bad Guy Bar?

What would be a good name for a Bad Guy Bar? as in "The —- —-".

Preferably, it should have something to do with alcoholics, corpses, murderers, methods of execution, or something along those lines.

Unless this is meant to be a parody, you'll want a normal-sounding name.

The Pickled Hobo.

Sounds sketchy, colourful, "pickled" implies there's booze to be had and "hobo" connotates nicely with general lowlifes. Also, doesn't sound too obviously evil.

Something that sounds like it could double as a biker bar would also work, like say, The Devil's Nest.

Dude, would you go drink in a bar called "The Devil's Nest"?

I mean, it'd probably be full of douchebags who want to show how tough they are by drinking with the "rough crowd".

Actually, it would depend on where the bar is located. If it is a bar in the center of a metropolis, then like the second poster said, you'd want a name as normal sounding and fitting of the general atmosphere of the city as possible. If it is, however, located in the seedier part of town, then you can get away with the more hideous and ominous names.

THE SALTY SPITOON

The Drunken Boar

^ Asterix reference?

is it? I was gonna say the Poisoned Boar, but Drunken sounded less ominous.

Going by the OP's actual request ....

The Rusty Razor

The Hangman's Juice

Blood & Vomit Emporium

The Squiffed Widow

The Lean Mean Guillotine (features a real guillotine)

The Broken Bottle

Personally I feel that irony is best. "Heroes hang out"

The Snuggly Duckling.

If its in a coal town, "The Miner Diner".

Otherwise:

The Loose Cannon

Fight Club

The Broken Jaw

The Rabid Dog

Article Adjective Noun

...Yeah, those are all pretty stupid.

I'd go with something neutral yet vaguely seedy-sounding, like the Tower & Keep.

Call it something that is a horrible innuendo.

Like "Moby Dick".

Hell you could just call it "Innuendo".

The Knuckle Duster sounds pretty cool. Can't go wrong with punch-evocative imagery.

"The Red Herring" doesn't sound especially thuggish, but I like the way it rolls of the tongue.

The Bleeding Rectum

The All-Nighter

Awwwww yeah.

I like the ones that sound evil, but not the lame innuendo ones.

It's a bad guy bar, not a gay bar!

There IS a difference!

(The name.)

The Prolapsed Colostoma

Mack The Knife's. Often shortened to Mackie's.

Depends on the flavor of bad-guy.

A swanky, exclusive bar where former Delta Kappa Epsilon brothers meet to drink blue-label whiskey and plot to gouge the world for billions of dollars by cornering the global tungsten market can go by a simple address number "523," or perhaps an old-sounding WASPy name, like "The Slope."

A run-down hole of a bar where high-school dropout thugs meet to drink Forties and discuss meth cooking recipes might have a reference to the (scantily clad, female) staff, like "Karl's Kittens." Or perhaps you could go for something obviously trying too hard to be homely, like "Mom's" or "Aunt Victoria's."

Or if this is fantasy, you could go for some twisted variant of the classical "Prancing Pony" style, like, "The Galloping Destrier."

How about something that's completely opposite of its clientele, such as "The Pink Unicorn"? (But the building itself looks like it's been burnt, shot at, and stomped on by a Kaiju multiple times).
