Last Updated: 2/1/17
A telling sign of a tavern stuck hard times is a short, basic menu that remains unchanged for ages. Red's is no different and though access to goods much akin to a port it's an everyday struggle to afford finer items.


Currently the tavern only offers food to order for:
- Lunch
- Dinner



The Menu


1s
The Cratetop Surprise

Named so aptly for the often random contents served atop the lid of a crate. It ranges from an assortment of whatever meats are on paw (kiwi or drake), cheeses, "fresh" vegetables or fruit.

5c
The Leftovers

A cheap option created from you guessed it: last night's leftovers. Another dubious item that can be a random collection of what meats are on paw (kiwi or drake), cheeses, "fresh" vegetables or fruit.

2c
Stew

At the beginning of the day some meat, either kiwi or drake, is thrown into a pot with the vegetables on paw. Some days it's delicious! By the time night rolls around though... best avoid it.
Can also be made fresh with just vegetables if the cook is asked nicely.

3c
Greens

Mixed vegetables tossed together in a bowl, the usual herbivore fare.

2c
Biscuits

Three TWO biscuits made fresh in the morning but careful, they're snatched up quick!

9c
Roast Kiwi

Previously a whole silver coin, now a reduced price of 9 coppers! A scrawny kiwi is roasted up nice and lightly (very lightly) seasoned.



Drinks


Alcohol
1c per tankard - 5c per barrel
Ale

A watered down ale nicknamed "Swill" or called just plain poison by the locals, Red likes to call it an acquired taste.

2c per tankard - 9c per barrel
Mead

Far and away better than the ale in every way but a tad more expensive!



Liquors
3c per cup - 1s per bottle
Rum

Sometimes it's gone! But when it is in stock it's decently worth it.



Wines
3c per goblet - 1s per bottle
"Low Wine"

Considered a standard peasant or commoner wine.

4c per goblet - 2s per bottle
Port Wine

A foreign wine more pleasant that the peasant wine!

5s per goblet - 2g per bottle
Lord's Wine

Bottles are reserved for nobility or those with the coin for one, whichever comes first!

5g to 10g per goblet - 25g to 50g per bottle
Special Reserve

Bottles kept hidden in a crate for special guests (read: deep pocket customers)...


HISTORY

The history of Red's Tavern is intertwined with the Landing and the island itself.

It was founded some time ago by an only semi-successful pirate captain by the name of Pitchpelt. At the time, with only minor renown in the southern seas for smuggling rather than pillaging, the ol' seadog wished to settle his operations. Fortune struck on the coast of Harfang on the golden beaches of the Sunshore. What amounted then to an abandoned shack was turned into the makings of a tavern in the span of a few months by the crew and thus started the beginning of the end.

As a slight to the Haalas, the noble "settlers" of the island, Pitchpelt named the slice of land Pyrite Landing and set up shop as a haven of sorts for weary (read: pirate) travelers. The tavern grew and travelers turned to locals as they settled into the area.

Eventually it came time for the ol' seadog to kick the bucket and the ship and tavern were begrudgingly passed to his first mate, Redmayne.

Unable to stand the name The Queen's Left Tit the rather unimaginative lion named it Red's Tavern and began an era of financial ruin promptly blamed on the lack of lucky faefurres on the island.
