When I was a kid my dad used to take me to bars with him on occaision. Two that I remember fondly were:
Ducky's - named after the owner (Ducky Detweiller) who was also the town's mailman, he'd bring me baseballs and stuff that he found on his rounds.
And, Stitcheberry's, again, named after the owner.
Both were long, dark, narrow bars with Bromoseltzer on tap. What ever happened to that stuff?

My favorite classic bar is the Tube Bar in Jersey City! The owner, who friends and customers knew simply as 'Red', was probably one of the most pleasant, soft spoken guys you'd ever want to meet.

You didn't really even have to fuck with him - just ask to speak to one of his customers!

I just purchased a batch of swizzle sticks and 3 of them are from the Kum Kum Room. I haven't found any reference to it here or on critiki.
Some other great bar names are the Mineshaft (Long Beach) and Oilcan Harry's (Austin), both gay bars.
Lee Harvey's (Dallas), Happy Endings (Hollywood), Double Wide (Dallas), Cock & Bull (Dallas), Muddy Waters (Dallas), Under the Volcano (Houston), The Poop Deck (Ft Worth), Mother's (San Pedro), Cock o' the Walk Bar (Oklahoma City) and many, many more...

Always liked "Hog's Breath Inn" though it's not exclusively a bar.
A long gone HB beer bar hangout:
"The Getty" later renamed "Friar Tuck's"
was a real dive on Beach Blvd just before PCH.
