Someone who keeps a tavern, a place where wine or beer are sold to be drunk on the premises.
"Here raged battle and death; there the bath and the tavern were crowded. In one spot were pools of blood and heaps of corpses, and close by prostitutes and men of character as infamous; there were all the debaucheries of luxurious peace, all the horrors of a city most cruelly sacked, till one was ready to believe the Country to be mad at once with rage and lust."
Tacitus, Histories (100 AD)
