The Bang Bang Bar

The debate over the location of the Dino's Bar & Grill has rattled on for years. Phil Lynott always avoided giving it a location, saying the song was about guys anywhere in the world going out for a weekend pint and a fight. Years after Phil's death Scott Gorham said Dinos was named after Dean Martin's Sunset Strip joint of the same name. But Gorham was Californian so would most likely think in terms of LA; also Martin's place was certainly not somewhere that "blood would spill" and most importantly it wasn't written by Scott. We preferred Phil's vision, so went for Dublin so as to link the design back to the original Thin Lizzy inspiration.

Withnail and I is a 1987 British black comedy film written and directed by Bruce Robinson. Loosely based on Robinson's life in London in the late 1960s, the plot follows two unemployed actors, Withnail and "I" (portrayed by Richard E. Grant and Paul McGann, respectively) who share a flat in Camden Town in 1969. Needing a holiday, they obtain the key to a country cottage in the Lake District belonging to Withnail's eccentric uncle Monty and drive there. The weekend holiday proves less recuperative than they expected.

The Boar's Head Inn was a tavern in Eastcheap in the City of London which is supposed to be the meeting place of Sir John Falstaff, Prince Hal and other characters in Shakespeare's Henry IV plays. The Boar's Head Tavern is featured in historical plays by Shakespeare, particularly Henry IV, Part 1, as a favourite resort of the fictional character Falstaff and his friends in the early 15th century. The landlady is Mistress Quickly. It was the subject of essays by Oliver Goldsmith and Washington Irving.

The Gem Theater was a saloon in Deadwood, South Dakota, owned by Al Swearengen. Swearengen opened the Gem Variety Theater on April 7, 1877 at the corners of Wall and Main streets to entertain the population of the mining camp with "prize fights" (as was customary with Swearengen's previous establishment the Cricket Saloon, no prizes were actually involved), stage acts consisting of comedians, singers and dancers, and primarily, prostitutes.
