Star Wars bar (30)
dateadave: You mean the Mos Eisley cantina in Episode IV?
Interesting, because while George Lucas often prevented people writing about many of the characters he seemed not to care many of the minor characters in that scene. Consequently every characters that appears in that scene has had an entire back story written for them.
Or do you mean the slang term "Star Wars Bar"
A Bar/ Pub filled with strange, unusual and often dangerous characters. while these establishments hold no offical affilation to the franchise, the abundance of fights and/ or bizarre happenings is reminiscent of the mos eisly cantina bar in star wars: episode 4. Durham's Yates bar on most week nights is a fine example of a star wars bar.

The interior of the so called "Star Wars Bar", aka the "Mos Eisley Cantina" was in the Atelstree studios in London while the exterior bar was located in the town of Ajim, Tunisia. It sadly, was never build there, unlike several other portions of the sets, which still stand and are great tourist attractions in Matmata, Tunisia.
I've always found movie or TV series alien bars rather "disneyesque"/ childish. Only well done bar scenes and set that I've seen were in the Babylon 5 series. Much more adult, Imo.

Battlestar was a good show and so was the original but they had no alien bars with drunken Cylons. Firefly , as far as I can remember had only humans as did Bladerunner; no aliens. What I see as 'alien' fits the basic humanoid form, as based on an internal composite study by the FBI back in the early 70's of several hundred reported alien encounters by witness's spanning over 20 years, by a team from which emerged the term 'exobiologist'. Parts of this material of reported cases can be found in the book"The FBI Files: The FBI's UFO Top Secrets Exposed" by well known author Nicholas Redfern,1997. The basic 'alien' composite has remained the same through out countless descriptions over centuries; no third eye or eyes waving about on stalks; no animal snouts, bipedal with 2 arms and opposable thumbs; no claws,or antenna, etc. etc. Basically they were almost as us in general appearances. Only real visual differences were their height; up to nearly 8 feet and corresponding weights indicative of the gravity effects on their planets. All a very far distance from those pathetic inventions in the Star Wars Bar and most Sci-Fi movies.
The internal study was conducted by order from then Director J. Edgar Hoover who took umbrage at all the military intelligence agencies as well as the CIA regarding Alien reports and possible contact. They , seemingly all conspired to keep him and the FBI out of all loops pertaining to UFO's and Alien encounters. A completely different level from the Hollywood type of depictions which was actually encouraged by the US Air Force as their view was that anyone reporting a UFO or aliens "was and is a sign of mental derangement" which dated from as far back as 1948 to the 1970's. They still discourage their own astronauts and pilots from actually filing any such reports. (Regulations published in J.A.N.P.146, 1953; "a crime punishable with detention of up to ten years and a fine of $10,000 dollars or divulging any information whatsoever on any unidentified sighting."
The Aliens were trying to be noticed from all the reports over the decades; it's a wonder some didn't show up in an actual bar for some drinks out of frustration in dealing with the US military "Intelligence"

Man when I was younger I used to hook up with some strange stuff in D.C. My favorite was Ventunos in the 70s. In the eighties a disco outside Washington, hosted frequently by a small and obscure, at the time, local dj named Howard Stern. He put in all these super tacky pick up machines so the guys could get and recieve ratings and messages from the girls and vice versa without introducing themselves

I don't get it.
I can be sadly scary or scarily sad, but not because I didn't go to a bar that doesn't exist.
