Loading ...Can We Have A Word With You?
Posted by Foobooz on March 3rd, 2008
Last Wednesday in the Metro we mentioned we loved the concept of gastropubs but hated the word.
So now we’re asking you, the Foobooz audience to suggest a new less icky term.
Best suggestion will win a $25 gift certificate to Cantina Los Caballitos.
Add your suggestion in the comments and be sure to include a valid email address so we can get the gift certificate to you if you win.

I’m not crazy about “I heart” either.
I would never say I don’t heart “I heart.”

Restap, short for restapraunt, which sounds like it could be kinda French or Belgian, and you know in Philly we heart–I mean love–anything Belgian.

How about Breustro. Brew=beer + Bistro=.
A “u” adds that extra bit of flair.

Bar appetit… a bar for the readers of bon appetit magazine (difficult to make food/drinks with exotic ingredients). I guess the plural would be bars appetit!

Foodie Tavern

foodbar or foodie bar
(transposing “bar food” puts “food” first without sounding pretentious)

The French have a perfectly good word for this – brasserie.
Some options:
3 star bar
brewbistro
brew cafe
tap & table
I actually prefer the implied gastronomist prefix to foodie… the latter always sounds more like an insult than a title one could enjoy.

A dinebar…

I like “restropub”
The problem is that a lot of the words have particular connotations, e.g. “brew”-anything implies they brew their own beer, “cafe” is casual, “brasserie” seems more upscale over here than over there. Granted, that all evolves with usage…
