Establishments named after Astronomy

[Guest]

Drove past this pub near Braintree in Essex. Wonder what other establishments use astronomy  in their name.

I just can’t resist. 😁😁😁

One of the pubs in my home town was called The Observatory. Not sure if it was called that due to the number of patrons in there that would jump at the chance to make another see stars.

That's awesome! when I make the leap across the pond I will make sure to visit The Astronomer! I'll offer him a free haircut for a drink.

“The cosmically inspired selection includes the Slippery Saturn (rum, orange juice, lime and fresh mint), the Neptune Nip (Woodford reserve bourbon, vanilla and chocolate bitters), as well as the highly recommended Mercury Rising—a gin cocktail”

Looks like he needs a proper Berlebach observing chair.

im still trying to work out what the object is behind him, impinging on the dead tree. It looks like a upended railway carriage. 🤔

I think their best known cocktail is “Show Us Uranus”

I think that is the rail up and down which his observing chair platform moves to access the eyepiece as the alt of the scope changes.

Of course , I may have sampled one too many libations from within before making that assessment.
