The Prancing Pony Inn is the watering hole for wayward travellers and locals alike. Here they can stop, take a drink, share a travelling song or tale and take a room. The Inn itself is a meeting place for many folk from Bree and the surrounding area, here hobbits, Men and even the occasional Dwarf have been known to stop for some of Barliman Butterbur's fine ale.
The owner of the establishment, as mentioned earlier, is Barliman Butterbur. Barliman offers accomodation for guests of all shapes and sizes, which is probably why Gandalf the Grey suggests this to Frodo as their meeting place. However Barliman is more than a little forgetful, causing messages to become confused, among other irritations.
As many travellers stop at the Inn of the Prancing Pony it is not unusual for dark strangers to sit smoking pipes in dark corners. Although Barliman Butterbur is still weary of these travellers, as he is wary of the dark stranger who is in the Inn the night that Frodo, Sam and the other hobbits arrive there to meet Gandalf.
Here you can drink something:
You can talk,sing and to have fun:
You can also meet Strider that sitting there:
Enjoy your visit and if you are in a good good mood sing a song...
Strider revealed himself as Aragorn and Gandalf's letter was produced by an apologetic Barliman. Aragorn offered to protect the Hobbits from the Black Riders and lead them to Rivendell. He warned the Hobbits not to return to their rooms, and Nob made up the Hobbits' beds with bolsters to make it appear that they were sleeping. The inn was attacked in the night and the Hobbits' empty beds were slashed and their rooms ransacked. The Hobbits left Bree the next morning, and when Gandalf arrived later that day and learned that Aragorn had gone with them he placed a seven-year enchantment of excellence on the inn's beer.
