After running into some trademark issues, the H Street NE bar formerly home to Fruit Bat has changed its name from Barcade to Atlas Arcade.
Owner Erik Holzherr held a contest to come up with the name on the blog Frozen Tropics. The winner will receive $150 in quarters, and the runner-ups—Drunky Kong, Princess Barstool, Atlas Chugged, Raygun Era—will get two free drinks. In a letter posted on Frozen Tropics last night, the Atlas Arcade team says it also would like to buy a beer for the cheeky anonymous commenter who submitted the name “For Lease.”
What do you think of the name?
