Weekend Discussion Thread: Your MST3K-Themed Restaurant or Bar

An alert reader suggests:

Have we ever had a WDT of “Name your MST3K bar or restaurant”?

I would have a bar called Beer on the Sun, kind of a weird Canadian/Jimmy Buffet hybrid. Then again, “Beer on the Sun” is pretty much my answer for everything.

What would your pick be?

    Come on down to Dr. Z’s Down Home Fish Fry! My friend the shark, I love you. Definitely better than the Sarcasm fish. (Oh, like you’re such a great fish!)
    And if you’re in a hurry, just get a giant walking catfish to go.

    Restaurant Name:
    You Should Really Just Relax!

    Menu:

    “Phase IV” – chocolate covered ants
    “Onion Rings of Terror” – hot hot hot! EXTRA spicy… Texas style!
    “Catalina Capers” – nothing fishy about these – fresh from the sea!
    “King Dinosaur” – “Dad” sized portions of roasted iguana, served up with the veggie of the day
    “Amazing Colossal Manwich” – for the big brawny paper towel model lumberjack guy in your dining party
    “Killer Shrews” – great for dipping, dude!
    “Deathstalker Twice-Baked Potato” – It’s what you’ll eat!
    “Incredible Melt” – served in it’s own gravy
    “Devil Doll” – the best baked ham you’ve ever tasted!
    “Devil Fish” – fresh from Florida… or maybe Italy?
    “Squirm” – for our more “adventurous” diners – Who’s gonna be da worm face?”

    Beatnik: Don’t you mean walnuts?

    When the walnut farmer is talking about his home made cider, he says he puts peanuts in it, to which Crow replies “Ooh, I sure hope he said ‘peanuts’.”

    The Bot Bar.

    All the robots from MSTied movies are welcome, but others are welcome, too. Bender is the resident stand-up comic. And poor, unemployed Geoff Peterson is this bar’s Norm Peterson!

    Gypsy is the head drink server. One warning: you’d better tip her (though she’ll let it pass if you put in a good word about Richard Baseheart).

    And you’ll find that the bubble gum machine there will look verrrry familiar…!

    Two flunkies decided to join forces, and the result is…TORTEGA’S RESTUARANT!

    The food is great…just don’t ask how it’s made. And the service is wonderful…just be prepared to wait a while.

    Tortega’s, now with six locations in the Southwest.

    I’d love to open up an ice cream stand called Twist and Creme, (that’s Crrrreme). That’s where dorky looking 80’s kids can go to discuss the beefy guys they murdered. The waitresses can serve up the food braless,and you can grope them. Even Garrison Kellior would eat there!

    Alas, there will never be such a place.

    A whole lotta things. I look down at my keyboard and type. Chicken, corn, green peppers, chili (sigh) onions… Well, it’s an old recipe around here.

    How about a place called Potatoes Are What We Eat. All potatoes, all day… breakfast, lunch, and dinner. However, out of town guests may bring a rabbit for cooking.

    GIZMONIC

    It’s an atmospheric hamburger joint drive-in like Sonic with cute carhops, but the experience is fifty times funnier than Sonic’s television commercials.

    This isn’t episode specific-The Mystery Science Diner 3000. The walls have decorations like the original movie posters for MSted movies, there are replicas of Tom, Crow, and Gypsy, and several televisions playing MST episodes which are randomly picked. The waiters are dressed in a way that echoes the various Joel/Mike jumpsuits, complete with show-accurate Gizmonics patches. Various items on the menu include: Hamburger Sammich, French-fried Potatoes, Johnny Longbow’s Special Stew, Sharkamari (only available in Florida and quantities may be limited), Blood Beast Sausage, Party Beach Pickles, Technodrinks, and Coleman Coffee.

    I’d call my place: The Second Banana Heaven: We won’t serve bananas though, instead it’s: chicken in a distinctive sauce, solarburgers, Torgo-poppers, and ramchips, wash it all down with an ice-cold thrusterbuster.

    One Rule: Never, ever ask what “Torgo-poppers” are. Just sign this insurance waiver here and try them, they’re delicious (but they do make the fat go straight to your knees)

    Now Located in Altoona, on the site of the old Clay & Lar’s Flesh Barn.

    Come on down to the Ground Zero Cafe, where we like coffee!

    If you’re up for dancing and fine drinks, we can head over to Jack Taylor’s Place, where essay contest winners eat free.

    I’d avoid Attack of The The Eye-HOP. They just don’t care.

    But you could try the Diner From the Year 5000! Greek food served with a malaise.

    Or put on your best pantsuit and come get rolled on at the Giant Diner Invasion. Across from Dutch and Helgas cafe.

  31. I would love, love, love to open a bar/rave club and call it “Deep 13” with the obvious theme to the interior design, decor and cocktail waitress outfits. I’d serve lots of those weird-ass flourescent colored drinks.

    Geronimo’s Maltese Steak house
    Contains eclectic decor including 13th century suits of armor Doric columns balustrades and a two-toned Holstein patterned Tablecloths. All of the waitresses are be-fitted in triangular outfits. Entire operation has a sense of deja vu with your waiter bringing your “go ahead on” ribeye to you over and over again in a medium shot. At Christmas time they specialize in Gooseo
