Pub Cyclery?

Beer & Bicycles?

If there was a Bicycle themed Bar/Pub, would you go there? What would you expect from such a pub? How would you like it to be? Is the idea of a bicycle themed bar silly? Or is it cool?

I dunno, the idea of there being some pub out away from the city along side a long and beautiful trail, where some of the ingredients are organically locally grown, where the beer is brewed right at the bar, and where the bar is decked out with cool and neat bicycles inside, has crossed my mind. Where you are likely to meet other cyclers. A cycle pub! Pub Cyclery!

Well, what do you guys think? Silly and dumb, or cool and fun? Please share your thoughts and opinions.

Cool and fun!

This is decidedly more urban, but I think it has some of what you're looking for (If you were in Pittsburgh that is..)

I've read about other similarly themed bars/restaurants in other areas and they seem to be well received.

There's one just up the street from my work (and down the block from UBI's Portland campus):
https://hopworksbeer.com/
https://hopworksbeer.com/general-info/bikebar
or they can come to you:

It's pretty neat inside and out:






There's also a bike-themed pizzeria on this side of the Columbia River:

Only if the beer and solid food was as tasty as my favorite non-bicycle themed gastro pub.

Neat but the beer tap handles need ergo grips!

I stop by local places on my rides - bike themed along a well used bike path or route would be great!
