Pubs are a common setting for fictional works, including novels, stories, films, video games, and other works. In many cases, authors and other creators develop imaginary pubs for their works, some of which have become notable fictional places. Notable fictional pubs include The Admiral Benbow Inn in the ''[[Treasure Island]]'' pirate story, the Garrison in the 1920s crime TV drama ''[[Peaky Blinders (TV series)|Peaky Blinders]]'', the Golden Perch, the Prancing Pony, and the Green Dragon in the [[high fantasy]] novel ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'', [[The Leaky Cauldron (pub)|the Leaky Cauldron]] and [[the Hog's Head]] in the ''[[Harry Potter]]'' fantasy series, Moe's Tavern, a working-class venue in ''[[The Simpsons]]'', and the Oak and Crosier in the video game ''[[The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion]].''

The major [[soap opera]]s on British television each feature a fictional pub, and these pubs have become household names in Britain.<ref>[http://www.ofcom.org.uk/static/archive/bsc/pdfs/research/soap.pdf ''Soap box or soft soap? audience attitudes to the British soap opera''] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090903215934/http://www.ofcom.org.uk/static/archive/bsc/pdfs/research/soap.pdf |date=3 September 2009 }}; by Andrea Millwood Hargrave with Lucy Gatfield, May 2002, Broadcasting Standards Commission; p. 20.
