pocket bangerParticipantI’m in the process of starting up a new club and haven’t found a name for the place that I’m happy with.
A lot of place’s names often either sound like they’re trying too hard, or feel kind of bland.
Anyone got any suggestions (or can recall any places) they feel really work?
I’d really appreciate any ideas.

ChunkyEatsMyDinnerParticipantGreat topic, I hope you get some interesting replies to this one.
It might help if you tell us a bit about the club you are opening?
Music policy, size, target audience, theme?
Throw us some inspiration.AdSense 336x280April 24, 2008 at 5:57 am #648497

pocket bangerParticipantI’m in Australia. A very remote part of Australia. I assume it doesn’t make much difference to most people if their ideas for names, or knowledge of places that exist (or existed in the past) is used in a completely separate place from where they are. I don’t think that idreas are that precious. Someone has probably had the same idea somewhere else, somewhere before. I just wanted some ideas as insipration, or possible directions to think about.

Throw us some inspiration.[/quote:d3r6pvwh]I don’t know what is going on elsewhere in the world, but here there are two main competing problems when it comes to running clubs here.
The first is government regulation, which affects all apsects of trying to run a club. All levels of government see nightclubs as a PROBLEM, that is best if they don’t exist, and tolerated if they are not causing problems, i.e. if they are not busy. Busy clubs attract the attention of police, local government and other regulatory agencies.
The second problem is gangs. Gangs are just beginnning to really develop here, and they see clubs as a primary area to flex their muscles. The main problem with gangs here is that where they go, violence follows. If you want to run a club which is popular/successful/attractive to girls/going to last this issue has to be addressed in some way.
These two factors tend to directly influence what happens in clubs, club nights, new clubs, changes in trends, music policies, etc.
When it comes to clubs names, the first problem means that opening a new club is hard, and having a name which can be perceived by the various authorities as anything ‘immoral/risky/violent/ or associated with drug taking’ is going to be viewed negatively, and will make opening/operating the venue harder.
At the same time, any place that opens and becomes popular, seems to inevitably attract the attention of gangs, which leads to violence, which makes chicks feel unsafe and leave, which means the club fails.
Clubs that have worked here, for more than a couple of years, have tended to not be ‘big’ enough make it onto the radar of either of these two groups, but at the same time have managed to really connected with their particular group of punters. Often they are have either an alternative music policy, a particular market outside the mainstream, or are just stay below the level of being ‘really popular’ so that they don’t get everyone wanting to go there.
what all this comes down to, is that I’m wanting to attract a strong local group of punters who are probably a bit older (22-35years old), that used to go out alot, but no longer want to put up with all the shit of standing in queues or getting mixed up in fights, and want a good time and to feel safe. Particularly women.
does that make sense?

Thats ‘Sheila’s & Dealers’ crossed off the list then.I quite like your profile name, (pocket banger) or would this be seen as an enthusiasm for a gun?
Whatever you choose, I think using all lower case on the signage will make it look more friendly. (no capitals)
