 The Spice & Sprat, Usually stew and corn muffins, sometimes a decent soup. Cheap.
Eastgate
Eastgate, the Square
 The best beer in the city, bar none, and the most expensive beer too. Astrid is a former Gallowglass with some good connections.
Jagged Dirk
Butchers Block
 Food varies wildly, not recommended after dark, but very cheap soup and turnip.
The Racing Pigeon
Dyers Close, Overlook
 Specialising in ginger and honey dishes in a well run kitchen. Some boarding done here, slightly expensive but also pretty nice.
The Phoenix
Squatters Pitch
 Not too wholesome for some, but they put out a solid porter and a not indifferent meat pasty.
The Inner Sanctum
Plum Street, Luxors Guild Square
 Recently refurbished, mainly local fish dishes with some Eire-style potage & egg dishes.
The Seven Points
Garden Way and River Road
 Nice view of the Rivergate and the quays, favored with river folk. Boisterous but safe.
The Postern
Angleheap Ct, the Royals
 Effie owns a pig farm, numerous pork dishes and puddings to die for. Moderately cheap.
Two Maidens
Threaders Way
 Very friendly entertainments at a cost. Some foods available, some drinkables but so what.
The Enchanted Grove
Alewives Ct & River St
 Formerly one of the better gourmet houses which is still steep but not as good as it was before, rice dishes and mutton mainly.
The Medallions
Wappers St, the Armorers
 Very small, and very crowded nights, good tea waters and various meat pies. Noisy place.
The Cockerel
Haymarket St
 A favorite haunt of "journeymen" and "adventurers". Steep prices and inflated opinions abound, interesting to watch though.
The Wagonwheel
Teamsters Close, the Armorers
 Mostly charcoaled meats and fish, kind of seedy-looking, but good food. Small beers.
The King's Way
Westgate, Granite Parade
 The second floor has a view of the West Gate, and a very nice dwarven cheese board. Expensive stouts and some requirements about behavior. Garden dining in summer.
The Bear
Main Way, Oldall St
 Oldest pub in the city, low ceiling, smoky fire, weird little tables against the city wall. The graffitti is worth the ok beer. Good snail plate.
The Eagle and Child
Gork St, Westside
 Fowl and Fetus, Bird and Baby. They tend to favor pies and beers, with some more pies.
The Castle
Shambles, the Horsemarket
 Hard by the butchers quarter, great blood sausages and lungs, very good tripes too.
The Royal Fount
Greenhill, Eastern Priory
 Prices changed after the Midsummer festival, now students aren't welcome. Pretty garden and often they have fresh vegetables available.
The Royal Arms
Four Gables Ct, Overlook
 Possibly the best or second best public house, large, many rooms, two(!) public rooms and two kitchens. Numerous egg dishes.
The Pitprop
Black Street
 Dwarven Fare. Troublemakers are welcome entertainment here. Don't mess with the dwarves, they like it. Good Stouts though.
The Thousand Cups
Charcoal By & Black Street
 Dwarven Fare. Run by the Ferdlin Brothers, there is an excellent stout available.
Hammers & Eggs
Pritchel Close
 Dwarven Fare, also some good pasty pies and onion soups.
Easing the Badger
Wharfside, the Wares
 Very expensive, very worth it. Unusual cuisine, some prepared with hobbit magics.
Hounds or Hares
Western Priory, Granary Square
 Overlooks the bridge, nice fish dishes and always some malmsey brewing (if you like malmsey).
God Encompasses Us
Western Priory, Granary Square
 The Goat and Compasses. Nicer rooms and good board, slightly expensive on Faire Days. They promote entertainments.
