I'm not sure I have any bardic stuff or paintings that show taverns, 
but you might want to take a look at the info and the references given 
in this file in the ENTERTAINMENT section of the Florilegium:
taverns-msg       (41K)  3/21/02    SCA and period taverns.
http://www.florilegium.org/files/ENTERTAINMENT/taverns-msg.html

I think you can also find some information on inns in the TRAVEL 
section.

This is a subject that comes up from time to time. If you write a paper 
on this, or even if you just do some A&S documentation with this, I'd 
love to consider it for the Florilegium.
