The Mermaid Tavern was a tavern on Cheapside in London during the Elizabethan era, located east of St. Paul's Cathedral on the corner of Friday Street and Bread Street. It was the site of the so-called "Fraternity of Sireniacal Gentlemen", a drinking club that met on the first Friday of every month that included some of the Elizabethan era's leading literary figures, among them Ben Jonson, John Donne, John Fletcher and Francis Beaumont, Thomas Coryat, John Selden, Robert Bruce Cotton, Richard Carew, Richard Martin, and William Strachey. A popular tradition has grown up that the group included William Shakespeare, although most scholars think it unlikely. ==The building== According to Jonson, the Tavern was situated on Bread Street ("At Bread Street's Mermaid, having dined and merry..."). It probably had entrances on both Bread Street and Friday Street. The location corresponds to the modern junction between Bread Street and Cannon Street.〔Ed Glinert, ''Literary London: A Street by Street Exploration of the Capital's Literary ...Penguin UK, 2007.〕 The tavern's landlord is named as William Johnson in a will dated 1603.〔Hotson, Leslie. "Shakespeare and Mine Host of the Mermaid" in ''Atlantic Monthly'' 151: 6 (June 1933), pp. 708–14.〕 In 1600 a notable disorder, caused by some drunken members of a group known as the Damned Crew attacking the watch after they were challenged, began after they were ejected from the Mermaid Tavern. It resulted in a Star Chamber trial.〔''The House of Commons 1558–1603'', ed. P. W. Hasler (H.M.S.O. 1981), I, p.408〕 The building was destroyed in 1666 during the Great Fire of London.〔
