While we do have some Bar's, we mostly have Pubs, and Pub names come from
all sorts of things.

In Ireland it's usually the name of the person who owns it or has owned it
"Peadar O’Donnell’s", "McConville’s Pub", "Grace Neill’s" or you might get a
place name "Maghera Inn".

In Britain it can be almost anything so you could go with Royalty:
Empress Porfiria
Martin the 5th
Empress Regent
Grand Admiral Arbellatra
The Iridium Crown

Or you could go with Nobility:
The Duke of Regina
The Count of Core
Bannon Efate

Or you could go with ships and boats:
The Modular Cutter
The Azhanti High Lightning
The Tigress
Vengeance
Plankwell
The Express Shuttle
The X Boat

Or you could go with military/scout associations:
The Way Station
Depot
The Red Beret
The Green Lid
The Imperial Sunburst
The Laser and Cutlas
The Pacification Campaign

Or Space stuff
The lonely Gas giant
The rouge planet
Brown Dwarf
The point of Lagrange
The Commet
The Dirty Snowball
The Vacc Suit and Airraft
Jump Point

Or planet stuff
Terminus
Landing
The Endless Ocean

Or of course you could just call it say
The New Inn (which has or course been there for 1000 years)
The 1000 Scout Inn
The 5 legged ponnii

The Home Port

The Port-of-Call

The Holding Pattern

The Suds-idized Merchant (actually, this is probably a brew-pub, not just a
bar. In any case, it's known for one particular beer (which is probably the
one they brew themselves))

The Amber Zone (may also be a brew-pub - but in any case, serves a large
variety of beers, and may not bother serving anything harder)

The biggest bar at a type A or B starport will be called "The Blue Giant"

An establishment in the coreward parts of the Imperium that caters to Vargr
may well be called "The Vargr Enclave".

The bar's papers will list it as "The Extravehicular Inactivity", but
everyone - including the sign over the door - just calls it "EVI".

Somewhere, some wag is going to open a bar in the extrality zone and insist
on naming it "The Starport Bar".

Somewhere else, where Terran Greek isn't unknown, there _will_ be a place
called "Molon Labe" ('Come and Get It'). No, it doesn't have to be a
political statement, though it can be - and may very well be. But the
straightforward literal meaning works, too... (this may also be a pub,
rather than a bar)

You can always get away with picking a local notable animal, and a color,
and putting them together - "The Orange Demon", "The Silver Incorial", "The
Red Kirpi", "The Blue Rhabdomane", "The Green Hornet", "The Gray Goose",
"The White Hart", "The White Rabbit", and so on.
