An inn needs a name! This generator offers five randomly generated name suggestions for inns, pubs, and taverns. Most suggestions are based off traditional (mostly British) naming conventions.
In addition, you get three genuine names of inns, pubs or taverns from real life (mostly the UK), for inspiration. Some are of mythical origin, some offer specific services. Some are named for historical figures or events, and some are just plain funny. A few are named for the clearly mythical and never-actually-seen, such as the Honest Politician.
This generator provides a randomly generated inn or tavern name, as well as an example of an actual, historical inn somewhere in the real world.

Your inn might be called:- The Crooked Wolfhound
- The Lucky Ale
- The Wet Pauper
- The Fawn and Baron
- The Ermine and Squire
Real life trumps imagination. How about ...- the Baron of Beef in Cambridge, UK, refers to a double sirloin steak joined at the backbone.
- Moonrakers has nothing to do with James Bond; derived from a story in which men of Wiltshire, UK, hid smuggled liquor in a local lake and used rakes to recover their stash at night.
- the Honest Politician, in Portsmouth, UK.
