I will probably use it - while it might seem easy - LoTR - it's a reasonable question. It's not about being too hard to get, just to get a good mix.
   





BYW, from the same source, if you want a more obscure pub, try 'The Golden Perch'. The beer's rather good, there.
"for, as long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself."

Show us the full list of questions, when you've compiled it.
When Christmas Day rolls along, I'll put up the questions I used in the fictional bands as well.

Yep.
But the coppers drink in the Bucket on Gleam street.
Ooooook.

Except when they drink in the Bunch of Grapes which is where Vimes met Carrot.

I had to Google all of those. They are probably too obscure even for people that watched the shows.

The Clansman is very easy if you watch Still Game.

Eponymous bars don't really work.

Nope not getting this? I keep wanting to say Frasier but I doubt the dog had a bar. Which prompts a thought that fictional pets might work another time.

Can you stretch it to coffee houses because then you can have Central Perk.

It's from a BBC TV series that's based mainly in London. The protagonists use it as their regular, but they always try to avoid paying for their drinks.

I think that's too far, and it's too easy to stretch that far for it.

One that I would like to use but think is too obscure is Glenister's from the US adaptation of Life on Mars as it was named after Philip Glenister.

interesting coincidence that you were just talking about a bar called "Glenister's".

And another one I would like but think falls into too obscure is The Vatican from Community. I will recommend the series though. Particularly the first 3 series

Here's another: Fillet of Soul.
I came to realise that every time we recognise something human in creatures, we are also recognising something creaturely in ourselves. That is central to the rejection of human supremacism as the pernicious doctrine it is.
