• Green Dragon Pub

    The Green Dragon is the pub in Hobbiton. This is the Hobbits' favorite watering hole, and it appears in the movies.
    The 1st picture is one of the bars on the pub: this one with the carved green dragon above. The other bar is in the 2nd picture. This is where the libations are poured. I can attest to the amber ale being quite good. They also have a stout, cider and ginger beer.
    The 3rd and 4th pictures are looks at different parts of the pub. I confess that the ambiance is such that I could be a regular, were this a public house near where I live. The 5th picture is a barrel of ale from one of the Shire's better brewers.
    The last picture isn't actually the Green Dragon. It is the old Hobbiton store. It no longer functions as all their business is now handled at the new visitors center.
