A warm and friendly establishment, staffed by Pixies with Sprites as bouncers with a large (for its type) Pseudragon that is usually sitting or lying next to the fire place. Owned by a Green Hag called Grotbags (who is also the cook), she is cursed to only be able to brew/make tasty food and beverages rather than her prefered nefarious posions and potions.
An intelligent Iron Golem. It understands that meatbags need to eat, but doesn't precisely get the difference between what counts as food and what doesn't. So it serves raw bread dough and meat chunks that have been charred well past the point of edibility.
"Does meatbag wish to register a complaint about their meal?"

I don't know about the proprietor, but the place has an ordinary dog, cat, and goat.
...all of them named, "Dishwasher".

Heres one that would be brilliant. Kraken. That would be absolutely excellent for a kraken that's drunk all the time since it lives in a massive vat of beer.

One of my favorite fantasy books had a tavern that was run by an Archfey who grew tired of his homeworld's politics and intrigues and just wanted to enjoy some nice downtime.
It's pretty hard to intimidate an innkeeper that is on the power level of a lesser god.
He called himself "Uncle Mike" and would help the heroine from time to time by explaining her how the fey worked or what creatures to avoid (or how to deal with them). I really liked the idea. :-)

Ah, a Briggs fan.
Omg, you know her? Yes, I loved the Mercy Thompson novels. :D
A changeling. You never see the same bartender twice
The entire staff are changelings where everyone is masked to look like the same person, but the building is constructed as such so customers see only one of them at a time - sometimes leaving in one direction and immediately someone exactly alike appearing coming from another direction.
Staff: "Hi. What'll you have?" Patron: "Oh. You already took our request." Staff: "I did? Okay, then." *starts to leave* Patron: "Wait. Do you need our requests again?" Staff: "Nah. Someone else took care of that." 🤨

A vampire who has given up on attacking humanoids and trades for blood with the local butcher. She dresses up her rats with aprons and has them help by keeping the place spotless and retrieving dirty dishes. She'll charm anyone who causes trouble in the tavern, or failing that, uses her super strength to force them to chill the ***** out. She's also the unofficial nerve center of the town. Anyone information that needs to be spread to people through the town go to her bar because her bats are trained to be messengers.

The D&D hobgoblin has a

Find your own truth, choose your enemies carefully, and never deal with a dragon.
"Canon" is what's factual to D&D lore. "Cannon" is what you're going to be shot with if you keep getting the word wrong.
Can I steal this idea for a future campaign?

Go for it, if it helps, Grotbas is based on a kids tv character from the 80's/90's, see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ix9xB8p7ado

A half dragon that turned good would be great. You know they know a powerful dragon, and yet they don't seem horrible.
