In J.R.R. Tolkien’s works, what is the name of the inn at Bree?

The inn at Bree in J.R.R. Tolkien’s works is called The Prancing Pony.

The Prancing Pony is a major meeting place in Bree, a settlement where Men and Hobbits live near the eastern edge of Eriador. Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin stay there after leaving the Shire, using the name Underhill while trying to avoid attention.

Aragorn, who is then known as Strider, meets the Hobbits at the inn. Their stay becomes dangerous when Frodo accidentally puts on the One Ring in the common room, alerting the Black Riders to his location. Aragorn later helps guide the group toward Rivendell.

The name is easy to mix up with The Green Dragon, another inn associated with Hobbiton, or The Ivy Bush, also mentioned in connection with the Shire. Those are different establishments. The Prancing Pony belongs specifically to Bree and is linked to the early journey of the Ring-bearer.
