    Default Funniest Inn Names

    Ok guys, funniest, weirdest and most random inn names from you or a game you've played!

    Heres mine (both from my GM)

    The Prancing Soldier
    A gay bar that had the best drinks in town. One character would always persuade another to go in there and pretend to be gay so that they could get the drinks. Hilarity Ensued.

    The Leaky Wench
    The dodgiest port town inn ever... ever!

    That sounds like it should be in Shadowrun.

    A couple campaigns ago, my players seemed to get a kick out of "The Rusty Sickle", which I still don't find particularly funny.

    The current game I'm playing in has three taverns; each for a different division of the city.

    The tavern in the upper-class sector is named "The Thirsty Fish", and the tavern in the slums is named "The Dizzy Priest".

    I find both of those amusing, though the one in the middle-class area is pretty "meh".

    I had an "inn" of sorts in my campaign called Thog Sells Beer. It wasn't an inn so much as a tavern, as it didn't have anywhere to stay, but it did have the best beer in the city, and was run by an Orc named Thog (obviously). The recipe was a secret, and my players became obsessed with sneaking in and finding out how the beer was made - for a while, they got it into their heads that it involved orc urine somehow. Thog had VERY good security despite being Int 6, however, so they never did find out, and I never had to decide.

    After much joking in my campaign, the party came across a tavern known as "Angst." It was nothing but corners, and each corner was filled with a shady figure, leering at everyone else in the tavern.

    In similar fashion, the party promptly set fire to it, armed themselves, and set to work at killing anyone who survived the blaze.

    Once, the party was looking for a tavern. Not looking for adventure hooks, or anything like that. They just wanted to eat.

    They spotted a Inn, and glanced at the sign swinging outside. It was a sheep, apparently a male one given the spiralling horns, eating from what everyone swore looked like a bowl of spagetti.
