Bar's Name

El Esco Bar I dare you!! Only joking! It's a hard one, best to be significant in Spanish and English. Can we have a rough idea of the site, ambience or whatever? Linzi.

Norton Rats

I always liked the Norton Rats name.You know the place in Cusco,but I don,t want to rip him off.
I,m thinking it has to be a little bit pub,a little bit bike and a little bit Colombia
eg "The Old Velocetts Arse Carajo!!!"
Lets try things along those lines

How about " The Cockswell Inn " .

or " The Kickstarter's Arms "

or "The Twistgrip and Spanners "

or "The Merry Biker "

or " The Touratwat's Tavern ".

Assuming that Albert has the same target audience for this bar as his bar in Quito, world travellers, how about "The 7 Seas".

Crutcher's Columbian Cantina Con Caro Cerveza y Chicas.

Ride safe.

how about the "oar house" with a yachting theme.....apparently every town has one but i can never find them so one more wouldnt hurt.
or perhaps after the great adventurer who travelled to the far reaches in search of satisfaction"the craven moorehead"

Topper

Still might be a bit tricky for the expat whose wife has no sense of humor.
But a classic none the less.
