Description
Aintree is a muscular, black-haired man of middle-age. He enjoys working behind the bar, drawing drinks for the customers, and has an appreciative sense of humor - his booming, jocular laugh is heard frequently, resounding through the main room of the tavern. Aintree keeps a brassbound cudgel under the bar, and is not averse to joining in, and settling those customer squabbles which threaten to become serious. He can usually be found behind the bar at all hours the tavern is open.
Exterior
A two-story Brick building, attached to a large three-story frame structure, is situated at a busy street corner. The entrance to the complex is found on Caravan Street. Over the entrance is a large sign depicting a large horn painted in silver. There are stables behind the main buildings.
Interior
The frame building is entirely lodging rooms, on all three floors. The tavern common room occupies a large portion of the first floor of the Brick building, and there is a separate dining room beside it. Both are served by the kitchen located behind the bar. A small utility room divides the kitchen and dining room. The second story of the Brick building provides living space for the various people working at the inn.
Hours
Tavern - 10:00am to 12:00pm. The inn never closes.
Price Range
Fair.
Quality
Fair to Excellent. The rooms are clean and tidy, with little problem with vermin. The food is very good.
Cash Box
A small iron bound coffer rests beside Aintree’s cudgel. It normally contains around 50gp (1d20 x 1d10gp).
Staff
Aintree, a young (clumsy and forgetful, but well-intentioned) boy named Demko, and a crew of six serving wenches (cum maids - they make beds and clean rooms in the mornings).
The kitchen is in the charge of a halfling chef, Buckminster Alecastle, who is temperamental about who should be allowed access to “his” kitchen, but cooks superbly (when he is not throwing a temper tantrum).
Customers
The capacity of the common room is about 200, the dining area about 40. At lunch hour, they are about three-quarters full each, tapering off in the later afternoon.
About 6:00pm, the tavern starts filling again. Seating in the dining area will be on a hour’s wait after 7:30pm.
By 10:00pm, the crowd will be at its height in the common room, and spilling over into the, now nearly deserted, dining area.
