okay - so i got this note in a separate email couple a weeks ago and sent my email in - so a few of my names are simlar to what others submitted, but here's what i sent in...

Hiya Bobby,

[snip]

I’m THRILLED you are opening a cool Valley Bar… All I know is that I sure picked a bad time to lease out my Eichler in Granada Hills :( and move to the south end of the Valley.

[snip]

Here are some other fun name ideas from me: OKAY please forgive me for coming up with TOO MANY names…

In the Valley theme:
Volcano Valley
Hawaii in the Valley
(There was a hawaiiana store called this from the 1950s through the 1970s in Sherman Oaks – the neon sign was sold through Track 16 Gallery and is now on display at Neonopolis in Las Vegas - How cool would that be to get that sign back in California?)

Referring to the lava rock details:
The Rock Room
Lava Rock Room
The Rocky Retreat
Volcano Rock Room
The Lava Pit (slight catchier reference to nearby The Bear Pit!)
The Fire Pit
The Volcano Pit (Villa, Hut or Volcano Veranda)
Volcano House (heck there’s one on the big island – why not one here?)
Volcano Haven
The Fissure
The Crater (simple like The Cave)

Tiki/Hawaiiana theming:
Let’s Get Lei’d Lounge
Tiki Tavern
The Freaky Tiki (a little obvious - but unforgettable)
South Seas Shelter
The Tropical Spot
Tiki Terrace
Aloha Island Inn
Polynesian (or Pineapple) Palace
Pele’s Lair
The Tropical Grotto
Tahiti Hut
Sweet Home Hawaii
Kapu Point
Mana Ana (literally meaning ‘spiritually empowered cave’ in Hawaiian)

But I keep coming back to that hot lava theming...
The Lava Lair
Hot Lava Spot (or just the Hot Spot)
Molten Magma Room
Lava Lanai
Hale Magma
Hale Lava (rolls right off the tongue)

finally for fun – using your name...
Trader Bob's Bamboo Room
Bob the Beachcomber :)

OKAY, I’m done!!! I promise…

Hopefully your bar will help to energize the north valley scene and maybe even help the Safari Room up there as well...
