Club Names

Horny old bastard.
For some reason I've been paying attention to club names recently.
I hate the stupid intentional misspellings: Platinum Dollz, Bottomz Up, Club Sinsations, Sinsaysionals, Lipstixx. One exception might be Suthern Kumforts, which is spelled so stupidly as to make me think that the owners are making fun of their Prairieville, Louisiana hick selves.
Pleasant Moments sounds like somewhere you take Grandma for afternoon tea.
Chubbies Club: fat chicks only?
I don't hate all club names, though. The ones with obvious sexual meanings are good, because I'm juvenile: Wet Spot, Mr. Happy's, Strokers, and probably my favorite of all, Lumber Yard.
I also like Casa Diablo, although I can't say why.
There are some that I just can't make sense of. There's a club in Iowa called Bookem Dan'o. We're naming clubs after TV quotes now?
So, names you love or hate?

Been in a lot of Gold Clubs. Didn't like any of them.
I like clubs with "Lounge" in the name. Old school.
WTF??? might be a good name for a gay club but it's a terrible name for a strip club with female dancers!
The owner's daughter danced at the club sometimes.
I've been to Book 'em Dano's in Denison Iowa both before and after its Big Earl's Key Club period. Presumably, it was around when Hawaii Five-O was a new TV show.
One that falls into the intentional misspelling group that I visited is the Bear Chest Lounge in Beloit, Wisconsin. Another personal favorite name is the High Heel Saloon in Somonauk, Illinois. I don't think either of them is anything special.
Worst name I know about, one place I missed although I drove past it once, is the Kappa Kabanna in Kappa, Illinois.
Peter's Pleasure Palace
Kublai Khan's
Xanadu
House of Racks
Boobie Barn (actually a real place, as I recall)
Den of Iniquity
Babes-R-Us
Happyland
I meant to say this when I first saw your post, but, I too, hate "stupid intentional misspellings", such as GurlZ! Nothing like helping with the "dumbing" down of America!
The Red Dog Saloon always struck me as an odd name also. I thought that Babes-R-Us was a real baby supply place...lol...
