Outside Description:
The sign outside shows a dog’s head smiling as if about to laugh. While no words formally declare it as such, all the locals call it the Laughing Dog or sometimes just the “The Dog” Foreigners sometimes out themselves by calling it the “Smiling Dog”
The store front had no windows, and the door only has a small slide that can be opened from the inside. The peeling paint would indicate this structure is not well maintained but but smaller clues show that the important parts have been expertly repaired.
Inside Description:
Sturdy unpainted wooden furniture, worn smooth from years of use is crammed into this small space. The faint smell of alcohol, liquor, sweat, and pipe smoke seems to linger in the room no matter how many people are there.
Closed during the day, it is open late into the night with a good mix of sailors from the docks and locals who live in the slums around the docks. Order is kept fairly well, although it can get rowdy at times. The barkeep Vork is a strong man and capable of breaking up even drunken sailors who get too violent.
He also is capable of throwing out patrons who refuse to pay. There are a few hard working men with families to support who occasionally find Vork’s soft spot and get away with free drinks for a night.
Vork frequently knows news from far and away, or at least hearsay from sailors. He is willing to part with more secret information lost by drunk lips, for a price.
This tavern has a local reputation as a good place to go for drinks at a reasonable price, and good for hanging out with friends after a hard days work. While no entertainment is ever scheduled, there is always something to take the patron’s minds off of their worries.
