There's nothing worse than a generic bar or restaurant with no personality. If you're paying money to go out and eat or drink somewhere, you want the place to have character - otherwise you would've just stayed at home! Here at Bored Panda, we believe in celebrating the establishments that go the extra mile to get a laugh or a smile out of their customers, and probably pour a damn good beer while they're at it. That's why we've compiled this list of some of the funniest, kookiest, and just brutally honest things people have encountered at their local spots. Vote for your favourites below, and let us know if you've ever laid your own eyes on them!

A Bar We Have In Paris. Thought You Guys Might Like It
I think you miss the whole concept of bar. The name of the bar is a reference to the Simon Pegg movie "Last bar before the end of the World". If you check all the pictures, you'll realise those are all references to cinema, anime, Sci-Fi, TV-show, Fantasy.. I don't think that" V Like Vandetta" is "passé"(even if it doesn't really mean something in french in that case, we would use "dépassé")
