The Dog’s Bollocks

by Joey deVilla on September 4, 2008

It looks as though a British-style pub is going to rise from the Gypsy Co-op’s ashes:

The Dog's Bollocks pub on Queen Street West

Does anybody know anything about this bar?

(P.S. For those of you not familiar with the phrase “it’s the dog’s bollocks”, it literally means “it’s the dog’s testicles” and is used to signify approval: “I love this new game; it’s the dog’s bollocks.”)

Some people think that Dogs Bollocks is rhyming slang from the premium Meccano set which was called Box Deluxe in the 50s.

Never mind the bollocks…here’s the Sex Pistols!

The sign is photoshopped in, right?

@Brian: Nope — real.

That’s a bar that I would go to. Somehow I always go to those with a fun name :]
