All the other segments have a name that fits the S&L theme. My suggestion for "What We're Drinking" is "The Troll and Robot Pub."

I like What Potent Elixers we are consuming, or something to that effect :)
I'm creeped out by the side-bar ads - "The Arbor: Premier Texas Drug Rehab."
"What's in your goblet?"Too on the nose??

I sense a strong JK Rowling and Diagon Alley influence on some of these answers. ... Ya filthy Mudbloods!!!!
Alchemist AlcoholsWhat's Brewing?
What's in Your Vial?
Pass the Bar (quiz on what you're drinking)
What were the names of the bars in Star Wars and Total Recall? They're the only Sci-Fi bars I can remember. The name should include both aspects - Sword and Laser (imho).
"What's on sale at the Mos Eisley Cantina"

I think trying to fit both the sword and laser into every segment name is a mistake. I prefer the approach behind "Quick Burns" or "Bare Your Sword." Just pick something that's fun. Or stick with "What We're Drinking."
Kris wrote: "Chalice and Tankard"Oh, I like this one! But aren't those both "sword" terms? For Sword and Laser it should be, I don't know, Chalice and Bulb.

I like the alliteration, but Gargle-blasters might get a little tongue twisty.

I like it. Plus the hosts get bonus points every time they complete it without stumbling through it.

That should be the password that must be repeated flawlessly in order to get through the door.

I suppose I should give all credit to Danny Kaye in the interests of full disclosure.
Grog and Green (Star Trek allusion)Alien: What is it?

I propose The Green Dragon be permanent sponsor. And my day will totally be made when somebody announces they're sipping a Yoo-hoo. Man, I sure could go for an ice cold one right now.
How about "The Dragon and Cyborg"? (a nice touch of irony, since the dragon *is* a cyborg...)
Altered States (it's a movie)?
Maybe it's me, but all SF esque drinking names of this type should be called Callahan's Place. Alternately, you could make an oblique reference and call it, "Quarters are in the cigar box."

Here's the clip from The Court Jester. Veronica, it'll pretty much change your life.

Didn't even think to post the link to the clip...awesome!
Would I then need to hang a fathom?
