I don’t get out much. Why should I since all is do is complain about what I encounter? I got to thinking that, lazy soul that I am, why don’t I get the complaints to come to me?
So I decided to start a pub. What could be more patriotic in the US of A than a good, old-fashioned European pub?
But a pub needs a pub sign and I need your help. Boy, do I need your help.
I wrote a previous post about clever London Pub Signs. Plagiarism never stopped me in the past but I think that – with your help – I can produce a set as good or better than those. Here’s one seen on a pub sign in Edinburgh, Scotland.
Here are my pitiful efforts:
Yeah, they suck. Can you do better? I certainly think so. Please help an old curmudgeon.
What would you put on the Curmudge’s Pub sign?
Curmudgeon at Large 
“Come on in and sit down, or get the Hell out, I don’t care”
Hangovers Installed and Repaired!
Was a tagline on a bar I started in the 1980’s (The Recovery Room, Gulfport MS)
I like it.

I might modify a bit: “Complaint free with purchase of drink.”
Escape real life for happiness – join us for a beer.
(I stole these two) Today’s Special: Buy any two drinks, pay for both
Free Beer, Topless Bartenders, & False Advertising
All good, especially the first one.
How about “We serve beer with a sneer. Have a day.”
That will do but I would prefer to lure them in and then sneer.
I’d love to offer a clever slogan, but I’ll need a beer first…
Free beer tomorrow.
…and I think you’ve just found the perfect pub sign! Though I did like your Pink Elephants sign, too. 😉
I just finished a 50-minute tour of my son’s college in 90-degree heat, so I have no original thought left. All I know is a cold beer in any of your signed pubs sounds really good right now…
“Your child is going to college; you need a beer!”
Yes. Perfect slogan.
Boy, Curmie, you got me with this one, and your previous post. It has all been said. I was forced to my Algonquin cocktail menu book for some of the past:
From an 1806 American newspaper item:
From something in 1935:
From Tom Brokow in the NYT, proposing an alternative presidential debate:
From James Thurber:
For all of these, I may need a billboard.
“Come lay down on one of our bar stools and start at the beginning..”
The fact that we have reclining bar stools at Curmudge’s Pub is an inspiration.
LOL
