Let’s Replace Gastropub
Posted by Foobooz on March 11th, 2008
We’ve had some great suggestions for names to replace the unfortunate gastropub.
So we’ve paired down the list to five and will let everyone vote through the end of the week. Remember, the winning submission gets a gift certificate to Cantina Los Caballitos.

Brewstro sounds like a brewpub (also, uh, not everyone drinks beer?) Grubpub sounds disgusting. Barstro is not very pronounceable. Fooboozerie sounds like fubar. Supper pub sounds hopelessly stodgy. These are an improvement on “gastropub?!”

I’m with smw… in particular, grubpub sounds like it involves dirt. : (
BTW, what’s the origin of the word foobooz? I kind of like the sound of the word fooboozerie, but I don’t know whether it refers only to this site or has some wider currency.

I concur – these options lead one to understand why the term gastropub was coined in the first place.

I would put describing a place by the sounds produced there in the category of gross.
Tanglethis, all the hits for foobooz seem to be for this website.

Yup, maybe we should just agree to stick with the original.
