It is located in a seedy tavern on the west side of town in the Poor Quarter. It is racist against elves.

Anyone doing anything to upset the staff will get tossed out of the bar by Wumpy, the bouncer, enormous giantman. This includes attempting to purchase a drink without enough silvers, dropping their drink, or attempting to pass through the curtain without being a dwarf or giantman.

Woven mats are nailed over the broken front window to keep out the dust of the street. A scattering of filthy straw serves as a floor covering. Behind the bar, glasses are stacked haphazardly in the rusted sink. Giantmen, miners, and dwarves lean against the battered bar, casting a cursory glance at new arrivals. Barely visible through the rising dust and smoke is a dark curtain, over which hangs a small handwritten sign. You also see an enormous giantman.

Ambient Messaging

A dwarven miner asks, "Why do the mines have giant, poisonous bugs, while the west side of town has them elves?"
From across the room, a toothless old giantman cackles as he hollers back the answer, "The miners got first choice!" A giantman backs into a dwarf, who promptly shoves him back. The giantman whirls, shouting a curse. At a table in the corner, an old dwarf snores gently in a drunken stupor. His face cradled in his elbow, his beard trails through some unidentifiable puddle on the table. Dust filters in through the cracks in the walls, as a particularly strong gust of wind blows by. There is an ominous moaning and creaking from the walls and roof. From out of nowhere, you get slapped on the shoulder, as a voice roars over your shoulder, "Hey buddy! How ya been doin'?"
Twisting your head around to look, you see a dwarf, covered with enough filth to floor a stable. "Oh! 'scuse me. I thunk you was som'un I knows...", he mutters before staggering away. One drunken miner begins howling incoherently at the top of his lungs, splashing his ale in all directions. Without a word, the huge giantman bouncer appears behind him and smacks him across the back of the head with a large stick. The miner slumps to the ground, as the bouncer walks away, shaking his head sadly.
A dwarf at the next table mutters, "Poor Harry. He just ain't been the same since he was trapped in that cave-in last year." One grimy dwarf asks a giant, "Hey, know how many dwarves it takes ta light up a sconce? None! We can see in th' dark!"
The dwarf collapses in a howl of laughter. Outside, the howl of a dog echoes briefly, before being cut off in a yip of pain. Two giantmen shout jokes at each other from across the room, spitting food all over the place. Voices in the other room erupt in a flurry of shouts and curses. Nobody in this room pays the slightest attention. With a roar, a young giantman grabs the dwarf sitting next to him, and pitches him through the window! Howling, he leaps after him.

All the comforts of home, whether Giant or Dwarf, are kept here. Groups exchange surly pleasantries with each other before settling down to play darts, drink, or exchange tales. A dark mat serves as a flyswatter as well as a rest for an oft-used, oft-missed brass spitoon. A sparse smattering of old, half-rotted straw covers the rest of the floor. You also see a stained rules list, a dart rack, a dart board and a dark curtain.
