The Green Dragon is a fictional building in Lord of the Rings saga.
The Green Dragon is an inn at Bywater. The Green Dragon was the last building on the side of Bywater nearest to Hobbiton. Hobbits from Bywater, Hobbiton, and the surrounding area came to the Green Dragon for pints of beer and gossip. On April 27, 2941, at the beginning of the quest to the Lonely Mountain, Thorin and Company went ahead to the Green Dragon to make preparations and await Bilbo Baggins.
One evening in early April of 3018, Sam Gamgee and Ted Sandyman, the miller's son, were at The Green Dragon. Sam spoke of strange things that had been happening, such as queer folk passing through the Shire and the Tree-man his cousin Hal claimed to have seen on the North Moors. Sam was particularly sad about the passing of the Elves westward as they left Middle-earth. Ted Sandyman scoffed at Sam's tales.
When Sam and the others returned to Bywater after the quest on November 2, 3019, they found that the windows of the inn were broken and the building looked lifeless. Six rough-looking Men lounged against the inn-wall, but the Hobbits drew their swords and the Men ran to Hobbiton for reinforcements. The next day the Men were defeated by the Hobbits in the Battle of Bywater.
In the film trilogy, The Green Dragon is the employer of Rose "Rosie" Cotton, who works there as a bar maid. This is where Sam Gamgee approaches her following the fellowship's return from Gondor. In the films, The Green Dragon is also not vandalized by Saruman's men in the films. It is featured twice, in brief interludes near the beginning and end of the three films.
The largest size of ale featured by the Green Dragon is half a pint.
