spellcheck: Funochio's, Funocchio's, Finocchio's,...
Assorted spellings exist for the name of self-proclaimed "Atlanta's Original House of Rock." Resources, most pertaining to the 1972 first encounter of Al Kooper and Lynyrd Skynyrd, present varied alternate spellings, including Finocchio's, Funocchio's, Funnochio's, versions of these without apostrophes, Finokeose, and more. "Funochio's" is correct, evidenced in the club's display advertising. Fun, one "n", one "c," with an apostrophe.
