This coctail bar could use some "k" in its cocktails.

I originally thought that this place had just Slovenified its name, but Slovenes would probably write something like Koktejl, not Coctail. The latter, if pronounced in Slovene, would be "Tsots-tail." (The "c" like the "ts" in tsetse fly.)

In
short, the name is supposed to be in English. However, I don’t know why
someone would name their bar a foreign word without bothering to see if
it was spelled right. Hell, even I would double-check the spelling if I
was naming my business an English word. Even if that word was "the."

By
the way, this unflattering picture is of the backside of the bar. The
front is decent, and even has a newer sign with "cocktail bar" written
on it. So, you see, this story has a happy ending.
