They’re just called pubs nowadays and many of them are still in business, with drink, food and music downstairs, and rooms for sleeping upstairs.
The one in my neighbourhood is newly reopened and serves fancy craft beer these days, but the basics are actually pretty much unchanged since a tavern first opened in that house sometime in the 1640s.
I would love it if taverns became a thing again, but only if they kept the time period theme up.

Taverns kind of are a thing, they’re just called hotels now.
Unfortunately they have a significantly lower focus on alcohol and food - a stark lack of mead and mutton in particular.
