I am fond of the virtuously named pubs and theatres around Melbourne. There's a lot of them. Actually there's only three I can think of but they're all good. Actually one's not even a theatre anymore, but I'm still putting it in the list.
The Perseverance Hotel
The Temperance Hotel
The Progress Theatre
There's something, shall we say, wistful about the concept of naming a pub after a virtue such as 'Perseverance'.
Perhaps there could be more of them. A few tentative names:
The Chastity Hotel
The Upright Bar
The Soberman Pub
The Candid Venue
The Worthy Inn
UPDATE! - I just remembered, in North Melbourne there's a bar called
Prudence!
The Celibate Motel
