Occupation Interests / taverns and publicans

I wonder if anyone has heard of a house being called Flask House and whether this might be a name for a tavern. The house, owned by a branch owned by my family in Yorkshire, was there in the 17th Century and very possibly earlier. There were a number of generations that were owners of taverns. I have also seen there is a modern but very old (15th C) Kent restaurant called The Bottle House. If this was its ancient title then it might follow that Bottle and Flask helped suggest what business was done there.
Anyone heard of another Flask House? This one was in Yorkshire but there may have been others. Also, the family, called Long or (earlier) Longe. This might also interest similar distant relatives.
Appreciate any replies,
Ray
