the MAKUA or Makua Cave
It has several meanings depending on context.
Parents, elders, respected ones, wisened, mature
or Ocean Sunfish (Mola mola)which is one of the coolest fish, sometimes called Kunehi makua, or King of the Mackerel, also a catchy name and theme. It was considered quite bad form (auspiscious or bad luck) to catch one becuase it would interfere with your mackerel catch.

There is also a part of Oahu, known as a military training area to some and a place of many holy sites to native Hawaiians.
There is also a cave called Makua Cave (Oahu) where a shark man Nanaue (the half human half shark son of the shark god Kamohoali’i who took on human form and had a child with a Hawaiian woman) would lure people to it for dinner.
Makua is also a respected last name.

So there you go. Makua, Makua Cave, Kunehi Makua, Nanaue, and Kamohoali'i as suggestions for cool bar worthy names.
Makua works the best for short, easy to say and the letters lend themselves to strong graphics.

Good luck
