RE: Your favorite fictional pub?
I think it's a little sad when a favourite fictional pub becomes a real-world pub.  A lot of interesting things happen in The Garrison ('Peaky Blinders'), and now people have opened actual versions. It just isn't the same, somehow.

The ones they knew about, certainly. But the Lost Underground Dwarf Emergency Redout and Spa wasn't rediscovered until Gimli's great-great-great-grandson ran out of beer money.

I must confess, that's way ahead of my Middle Earth timeline. None of my stories take place more than a century after the War of the Ring. Also, I never considered whether or not Gimli might have fostered any illegitimate children.  To the best of my knowledge, he was still a bachelor when he accompanied Legolas across the Great Sea to Valinor. Read

Another colorful pub in my stories is The Inn of the Raging Whore, a popular drinking establishment for the sailors of Umbar.  Drunk Typing

Pretty sure I've been to that one. Next to the Blue Diamond Hotel, right? "Rooms, ten cents for ten minutes"?
