This spacious inn and tavern serves as one of the main public eating houses within the city of Haven. Like alehouses everywhere, the Steel Tankard Tavern offers beer, wine, and, on occasion, spirits. Meals are served for those with the coin, and beds for travelers are available. A crowd of locals gathers each night to drink, gossip, sing, and play games of chance.
In addition to city residents, any travelers passing through Haven are usually found here. The Steel Tankard Taverns owner and proprietor is a middle-aged male human named Toben Elris. He employs several waiters, waitresses, and cooks. Toben is friendly and open, quick with a smile and a warm welcome.The Steel Tankard Tavern is decorated with curios, salvage, and relics from across Abanasinia even as far back as before the War of the Lance. An old statue from a beloved fountain stands in the corner, the planter boxes of a Haven wineseller are mounted on the walls and filled with flowers, the privy door sports the doorknob and knocker from a noble's house, and unbroken panes of stained glass were hung from the ceiling and loaded with hundreds of candles for use as chandeliers. It all appears tasteful rather than tacky. The patrons of the Steel Tankard Tavern believe this is a proper way to honor the past.
The walls are thick, the better for privacy. Overall, the tavern is clean and comfortable - having a rather worn look to it. The inside is bright and welcoming, with live music and lots of light. The décor includes elements modeled on flowers, seed pods, and leaves. The furniture is carved of wood from the surrounding region.
Mounted on the wall just as people walk in is a job board that usually has several job requests for others to accept. The establishment is a nondescript everyday tavern one might find in any mid-sized town or city. The main floor in the tavern consists mostly of an open area filled with square tables with chairs and a medium sized bar located along the far side on the main floor as you enter the establishment. The meals served at the inn are well prepared and the rooms on the upper floor are clean and comfortable.Meals are served on pottery or pewter or copper services according to the customers order. Various leather jacks, pottery mugs, wooden tankards, pewter steins, glass flagons, crystal goblets, or silver chalices are used for the beverages. The locally brewed ale and beer is supplemented by brews from other places, and wine, mead and brandy from all over the region make their way to the boards of the Steel Tankard Tavern.
