I think pub signs are a humble art form of their own.

Some have a story behind them. Others are just for fun.
Here are- few, more modern, found mostly in NYC and referred to as “ Irish bars”.

Those have become thing of the past quite some time ago here in the USA.

It actually never caught on in many areas. Yet even private establishments like VFW, Moose and Elks lodges are a thing of the past.

Those also where common in the USA in the 1960s and 1970s. Most of those are gone.
@DeWayfarer Sad times

@blokeinpub What is really sad is with the advent of the internet even all night restaurants are becoming a thing of the past. Some had lounges at least.

I love them. 😄 We don’t have anything like that here. The artistry of them is fantastic, and the continuity and uniqueness I would think would weave a connection through history and foster a sense of community. Makes a “pub” something more than a bar.
@JustNik No these aren’t my pics but I think they’re great.
You aren't wrong. I wonder if the average bloke has this much creativity?
@blokeinpub Here pubs are dying. The university bars thrive, but they are dwindling too. It's a culture shift.
@thewindupbirdchronicles Hopefully one the best supported pubs will survive.
@blokeinpub The one I enjoyed is now gone. They closed weeks ago for a staff vacation and were supposed to open Aug 24th. Never opened since. One must assume they have gone the way of the dodo bird?

I love the pub names and signs in the UK. For some reason I like the & ones like The Elephant & Castle, or the Fox & The Boar.
The Last Drop has a classic design and name, but the Three Compasses looks good too

I'm a big fan of "Midsomer Murders", and there are many on display in the show! Love them. 🌷
What interesting signs! Definitely an art of their own
