It was time to get rid of the old pirate-themed funeral home recreation room for kids to hang out during long visitations (and occasionally funerals), so a few weeks ago I finished the Old West-themed saloon for the young ones - a place to chill and maybe enjoy a cold sarsparilla (OK, Barg's Root Beer) for a nickel. It has everything: lights that look like candles, authentic wood furniture with tables at varying heights for different age groups, vintage guns hanging behind the counter, saloon doors, a player piano, etc. But what it's lacking is a name. These are a few of the suggested names. Which do you like best?
The Buffalo Nickel since the cost for a drink is a nickel, but strangely if somebody doesn't have one you furnish one LOL.
I was there for a visitation on 9/23 and funeral (uncle's) the next day. What a great idea. I thought it was more like a small museum with a refreshment counter. Love the artifacts. No electronics, the kids have to talk to each other. There's some history to learn and the pictures are fascinating. I don't know who was more fascinated, me or my nephew. Thank you for the care you and the staff showed my dysfunctional family.

I like the dog theme but it might hurt when their time comes. Then you think about changing it. I would avoid that personal pain.
What about something subconsciously positive, leans to kids, but not too obnoxious. Sunshine saloon?
The Frontier although that would lend itself to Space Tech etc as well as the Wild Wild West

Red Oak Saloon... that one sounds really good to me

One thing I think it doesn't need are guns of any type. Especially when the saloon is for children.
Guns are a big issue in America 🇺🇸 and kids don't need to see them.
Why did you pick a saloon theme for kids anyway?I like the Funeral home dog one. "Let's go to Sadie's". Sounds good to me.
