It was favoured by Sam's father Hamfast Gamgee and his neighbour Daddy Twofoot, as well as many other Hobbits of the Hobbiton area. The Ivy Bush was a centre of gossip and storytelling, and it was here that the Hobbiton residents gathered to exchange fantastical tales of Elves, Dragons and treasure-hunting, as well as (rather more usually) the latest doings in the Shire. Notes 1 Tolkien seems to have been influenced in his choice of the name Ivy Bush by a pub of that name that would have been local to him during the time he lived in Birmingham. Though now relatively rare as a name for a real inn, the use of a bush as to signify an inn was common in ancient times. A bush of ivy would at one time have marked out a tavern where wine could be served, but later came to be used more widely for inns or taverns of any kind. See also...
