Fiery Flagon
This odd, cramped place stands on the west side of Seawatch Street, across the street from the House of Inspired Hands. A relic of the time when sailors lived on the mudflats north of Mount Waterdeep and the rich had yet to migrate north from Castle Waterdeep, it is famous among sailors up and down the Sword Coast, who throng to visit it when they make land at the city.
The tavern has an iron-barred door on what looks like a dark, ramshackle place. The inside is quite small and can barely contain all the fish, flotsam and ships' gear decorate it. There are tanks containing @Blackjaws, Moon-faced clearfins, and Kgrench. A skeleton of an Eye of the Deep hangs overhead. Lamps set in its eye sockets cast an eerie, flickering glow over all.
The interior of the Flagon is not at all the slick, expensive watering hole one expects in Sea Ward, but unlike the rough bars of Dock Ward, the place is safe.
Food
Food in the Flagon means cheese, grapes, bread, and lots and lots of seafood hauled live and dripping from tanks all around the place, cooked, swiftly and expertly in front of your eyes. Sailors bring their own catch to be cooked, too, but the wise guests leave their palates in the care of the four cooks, grizzled old seamen who know just what will make a particular fish or deep-sea creature taste the best. Try the fried sea snake!

Rumours
The Flagon's damp cellars are said to have a hidden tunnel that winds down a long away by stair and ladder shaft to caverns near Skullport. If it exists, the tavern owners likely charge a fee and are very careful when opening the tunnel up. There is also the legend of the Sea Ghost - a dripping wraith of a drowned pirate, festooned with seaweed, that pursues those who meddle in the affairs of pirates. Regular patrons say talk was just nonsense put about to scare off the overly inquisitive.
