tavern keepers
Pub proprietors today
Tavern keepers are people who own or manage taverns—establishments serving alcoholic drinks and sometimes food or lodging.
The term sounds historical or quaint, evoking colonial innkeepers or medieval alehouses: The tavern keeper poured another round for the weary travelers.
Modern equivalents would be bar owners or pub landlords.
