You know that all American radio stations have a 4 letter call sign, East of the Mississippi they begin with W and west with K, there was a station in Long Beach where I used to hang out, it's call sign was KNOB, it was the jazz knob!
When I first moved to Bournemouth (I was going to say: I came across.. but I'll re phrase that) we discovered a lot of pubs called 'The Dorset Knob' never once did we laugh.
now I'm in Norfolk: Many would like to enter 'The Cock Inn' but my favorite for the more solitary drinker: 'Cock & pullet' as I'm a grown up I don't find this at all funny ..he he he.
My favourite club/bar (not sure, never fancied actually going inside) near us in Odakyu-Sagamighara was called Virgin Swing. Over the road was Bar Janis, Club Nightmare and Bar Moussy.

How about:
Where Everybody Knows Your Name
Or:
Just the place for a quick stiffener.
Or:
"Come and try out famous White Russian!!"
Or, no, is that horrible?
At least it's not a juice bar.
Do they have a penis, or is is just guitarists?

Or perhaps I should have said:
Where Everybody Knows You're Game
They could have gone with "The knob & balls" to make it sound more pub-like at least.
I think japanther's having us on. If you look at this in a mirror, you will see clearly that it is BONK

I think "Just the place for a quick stiffener." has got to be the winner! NIce one.
No matter how old and sensible I get (which is not very much at all it seems), these kind of things will never cease to raise a smile.
@tracyk - every playground should have virgin swing!
When I was visiting a m8 in a small North Dakota town - and I mean small - he took me to the town's only bar: The Happy Beaver.
I thought they coulda done more with the entrance, but inside was nice and snug and cosy.
oops. I just remembered, it was The Eager Beaver
I'll see you guys down the Moat & Expenses at nine - drinks are on everyone!
If it were a bar near me, I wouldn't use it as a rule
Boom boom! hahaha... as a rule...hahah...oh please yourselves!
I'm guessing there are rules about signage in Japan that this falls just short of breaking. People will push though. Give them an inch...
