What was the name of the fictional inn at Bree in The Lord of the Rings?

The Prancing Pony was the fictional inn at Bree in The Lord of the Rings.

The Prancing Pony appears in Bree, a settlement where Hobbits, Men, and travelers meet. Frodo Baggins and his companions stay there during their journey eastward, and the inn becomes a key setting in The Fellowship of the Ring. It is owned by Barliman Butterbur, whose memory and information affect the travelers’ plans.

The inn is important because Bree lies beyond the secluded Shire but before the dangerous road to Rivendell. At the Prancing Pony, the Hobbits encounter Aragorn, who is initially known to them as Strider. Their stay also reveals that the Black Riders are searching for them.

The Green Dragon is a different inn in Hobbiton, associated with Hobbit social life and the Shire. The Golden Perch is another named inn in Middle-earth, located at Stock. These names are easy to mix up because Tolkien created many inns across his setting, but The Prancing Pony is specifically the famous inn at Bree.
