Funny pub names?

[Bobbisox]

Have you a pub near you with an odd name, if you have, do you know just why it's called that?
Or have you been to a pub that the name stayed with you as it was funny/odd ?

Hi Her Royal Highness, Queen Bobbisox of the North,

There is a pub halfway beween mine and my mums that is called 'The long arm and the short arm' which I always thought was very odd!!

There is a pub in Dublin City called 'The Bleedin Horse' - bobbi - dont know why but possibly in the olden days a horse got shot outside or something ????
