Churchill's Public House should be smoking -- but not cigars -- next spring

The town already has three Tom's (Tom's Home Cooking, Tom's Urban 24 and Tom's Diner), as well as three Hideaways -- Hideaway Steakhouse in Westminster, Hideaway Kitchen & Bar, and Hideaway Tavern in Commerce City (there's also Herman's Hideaway).

Yesterday the owners of the future Churchill's Public House had a liquor-license hearing at the Department of Denver Excise and Licenses; the British-style pub is slated to open in a new building across the street from Lola at 1560 Boulder Street next spring.

What are some of the more noteworthy dining-name duplicates in Denver? Post your suggestions below.
