The name of the bar was Berta's -- the third reference to a Bert in the episode: Bert & Ernie, Burt the patient, and then the bar.
As well as Hugh Laurie plays knee-walking drunk, it was kind of sad (at least to me) that he could only talk about the weight of each patient's death to Wilson when he was plastered. And the same for telling Cuddy she's worth it. It's as if he can only let his guard down chemically, and then most people won't take him seriously because he's drunk.
There was a nice timeline tidbit dropped in this episode: Cuddy's been running the hospital for 15 years, which would mean she was there two years before House, if her long-ago line about five years being long enough for House to sulk means that he was employed at PPTH during those five years.
