What about the gloriously non-PC:

"Lash Inn" would be more aptly named the "Inn Secure"

Not a Bar, I know, but..

RAF Stanley 82 - toilets on airfield rare.

Some bright spark took a single portaloo, built cladding around it until it was a brilliant lookalike to Dr Who's time machine, complete with flashing blue light.

Its name?
