Names for Pubs
« on: March 18, 2009, 10:05:27 AM »
A real one I frequented was   "The feast and floggin Flagon".    (fixed, I always thought floggin was a strange name for a pub).

I think a good name would also be "the Dancing Chicken".

Any others, real or made-up?

Cask 'n Flagon in Boston
Crazy, I'm halfway to crazy
Suicide would waste me
Homicide would break me
Tongue tied and tied to the tongue
Tongue tied and tied to the tongue
Oh, is life as bad as dreams
I guess that's just the way it seems

Dubliner's in Gothenburg. Swedish pubs usually have British or Irish pubs as their prototype.

"The Bald Beaver"   would also be a GREAT name for a pub.   


(but not "Ye Olde Bald Beaver", doesn't have the same ring to it)

Sometimes it is not so pleasant being a visual thinker.

Back on topic :  From Wikipedia, Pubs of Middle Earth

All-welcome Inn
An inn located at the junction of the Northway and the East Road on the Hobbiton side of Frogmorton. It was much used by travellers, especially Dwarves from the Ered Luin.[1]


Bridge Inn
An inn located on the west side the Brandywine Bridge in the Shire. It was likely used by travellers on the East Road. When the Shire was occupied by Saruman's men during the War of the Ring, the Bridge Inn was demolished and replaced with a guard house, with gates erected on the Bridge.[2]


The Floating Log
A "good inn" located in the village of Frogmorton in the Shire. During the War of the Ring, the inn was closed, so that Frodo Baggins and his companions were taken to a Shirriff-house instead while travelling through Frogmorton.[2]


The Forsaken Inn
An inn on the East Road east of Bree, presumably constructed by Men. It was mentioned by Aragorn discussing with Frodo Baggins the further course of their journey: "None have measured the road between Rivendell and the Forsaken Inn, a day's ride east of Bree."[3]

The East Road was used years earlier by Bilbo Baggins; the Forsaken Inn is not specifically referred to in The Hobbit, but "an inn or two" at the edge of the Lone-lands are mentioned.[4]

The Golden Perch
An inn situated in the village of Stock in the Eastfarthing of the Shire. It was credited by Peregrin Took for having "the best beer in the Eastfarthing".[5]


The Green Dragon
An inn at Bywater, the last building on the side of the village nearest to Hobbiton.

The Ivy Bush
A "small inn on the Bywater road" in the Shire. Here Gaffer Gamgee recounted to the visitors his stories about Bilbo and Frodo Baggins, who were about to throw a magnificent joint birthday party.[10]


The Prancing Pony
An inn at the centre of the village of Bree.

A couple locally are the Loose Goose & Alibies.

Not too many catchy names around here, mostly stuff like Joe's Tavern, Bill's Tavern, Angelo's, etc.  ::)

Ex has one, but he just kept the name that it had, since it's had the same name for 3 owners and over 30 years. The natives don't adapt well to change around here, it fucks up their "karma".  :laugh:
