Here’s a book at Project Gutenberg called “Inns and Taverns of Old London”: http://www.ibiblio.org/gutenberg/etext04/nntvl10.txt (it’s quite a large file).

“Another of Ben Jonson’s haunts was situated within easy distance of
the Mermaid. This was the Three Tuns, of the Guildhall Yard, which
Herrick includes in his list of taverns favoured by the dramatist.

“Ah Ben!
Say how or when
Shall we thy Guests,
Meet at those lyric feasts
Made at the Sun,
The Dog, the Triple Tunne;
Where we such clusters had
As made us nobly wild, not mad?”
