The Devil Tavern, whose full sign was The Devil and Saint Dunstan, was a tavern at number 2, Fleet Street in London, near the Temple Bar.[1] It existed from the reign of James I (1603–25) until it was demolished in 1787 by Child & Co. to expand their banking premises.[2][3]
The tavern was opposite the church of Saint Dunstan, and its sign depicted the devil tweaking Saint Dunstan's nose.[4]
