Henry d'Esterre Darby Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 I love the idea, but we don't even know if there will be taverns in Open World. That said, what better place to keep this going than in the Tavern. Let's see, I like: The Drunken Sailor Dog Watch The Rusty Anchor The Spirit Room 2
Thomas Blackwell Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Please kindly consider having a tavern in Port de Prince named the Black Mongoose. It's kind of a big deal for some of us...
Sir Cloudsley-Shovell Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 The Still and West(was around in Nelsons time and is still in Buisness in Pompey!) The Admiral Benbow The Shovitt Inn The Newcastle Packet The Homewardbounder The Stump and Parrot
Rutger Van Hoorn Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Doesn't have to be all Ingles-ish right? Just throwing some potential Dutch tavern names around: De Zeven Zonden (The Seven sins) De Zeerover (The "sea-robber" ~= casual word for pirate) Het Groot Genot (literally "the large enjoyment") De Hoorn des Overvloeds (The Horn of Plenty / Cornucopia) De Vliegvis (the flying fish) Moeders mooiste ("mommy's prettiest...") De Dronken Draak (The Drunk Dragon) 3
Sharpe Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 those are very interesting names, Mr van Hoorn.
Henry d'Esterre Darby Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Doesn't have to be all Ingles-ish right? Just throwing some potential Dutch tavern names around: Of course they don't have to be English! I'd heartily hope that taverns would be named in the local language. 1
Bart Smith Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Here are some: http://www.bestofedinburgh.com/Page.asp?Title=Pubs&Section=70&Page=1%20 some great pubs i can confirm personally:)
Furfy Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Ocean View Ritz Cafe Lampost Leeside Harbor View Navigator Hideaway Pub
Chustler Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Coach and six Coach and four King's Head The Crown Many names we see on pubs to this day could work...
Henry d'Esterre Darby Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 As long as they're generic enough. You don't want a trademark lawsuit landing on your head.

Sir Cloudsley-Shovell Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Diamond Lil's(a favourite haunt for matelots in Plymouth)
Rutger Van Hoorn Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Rutger's Alehouse I can't argue with that one! All aboard! (or more accurately.. all under the table...) I guess as Flemish we could be exporting beer. After all, Stella Artois dates back to 1366 Attempting a few French ones (it's a bit rusty so please feel free to correct, dear francophiles!): La Mouette Fou (The crazy seagull) Le Poissson (word play on fish=poisson and poison=poisson) La Sirène Laide (the ugly mermaid) La Fantôme de l'épave (the ghost of the sunken ship) I'll leave others to actual French speakers 1
Dagann Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) Those are true french hostels/taverns names : Le cheval blanc La boule d'or Le lys Le lys d'argent Le lion d'or Au fer à cheval Le canon d'or Au mouton noir Chez Collinet A la tête de bœuf Aux trois anneaux Au maillet A la belle image Aux trois faisans A la Galère Aux trois pigeons Au petit Paris AU petit Louvre Aux trois cantons Edited February 25, 2015 by Dagann
FrancisDrake Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 There's a pub in Hayle, Cornwall called the bucket of blood. Out her good sou'wester pubs are the highwayman, the Jamaica inn, the Turks head, the quayside, the trafalgar and the victory! In fact any port of a reasonable size would provide excellently named watering holes regardless of geographic location!
