I suppose you mean besides "The Prancing Pony" (Lord of the Rings), or "The Leaky Couldron" (Harry Potter).
Taverns still have names like those today, in England for example. You might try looking up "english taverns", I'm sure you'll get the idea. Of course what would be interesting is if your name was original. It might help to name it after something specific to the place, the owners, or something that is important to you.
Granted, naming a bar after a woman does not necessarily speak well of the woman.
Common names might involve types of drinks, glasses, or taps, as well as some sort of description that gives it personality (the flowing ale, fort mead, glutton's tap, Meg's keg, The Drinking Horn, etc.)
I'd be glad to know if any of these appeal to you.
Of course, if you're looking for more general names, bars have variously been known as:
Taverns, Mead Halls (although mead is not likely to be popular), Ale Houses (more recent--circa 1700's).
I hope this has been useful.

There were no bars per se in the middle ages. There were public taverns or "pubs." Situated along well-travelled roads,they were Inns where travellers could stop for a night's rest before continuing their journey.

A pub would work, but I say Tavern is more likely. Tavern has been used as far back as 1500 AD.

A tavern I suppose. I did a search and a bunch of results with tavern showed up.

I don't know that there would be words for a public place to drink, or even if there was such a thing at that time, but briny drinks would be "grog"
so using that word in a creative way would work.
