 I was wondering if anyone knew the history of the first taverns and inns.
 When the first ones were opened up, who were their primary clientele, etc?

Well, everybody's favorite authority, The holy Bible, mentions inns as far
back as the Patriarchs.  

My personal opinion is that soon after people discovered it paid to travel for
trade, people learned to make money from it by supplying the necessities of
food, drink,  and lodging..
