Drink Halls

"Looking for hospitality, you fucking soft outsiders. THIS IS HOSPITALITY!"

• A Warlington local passionately defends one of the many drinking halls across the city.

Businesses don't generally grow and thrive in the city community that is Warlington, with a mindset on survival, semi-ascetic living and a 'live as though you may die tomorrow' mindset the city instead created large warehouse like spaces that can seat up to 500 people at one time called Drinking Halls.
These may seem like raucous and slightly ridiculous spaces but to pass off the drinking halls in this way is to completely misunderstand much of what Warlington stands for. The shared culture and pride of the place feeds into a deeper sense of community. Servers and barmen don't work there because no man is above the act of pouring a drink for another. There is no set menu because every day is a surprise and there is no formal storage or facilities (apart from a large kitchen in a side room) because food and drink in the drinking halls aren't intended to last long.
Party's, music, fighting, drinking competition and gambling takes place almost daily in these drinking halls.
If you visit one, you are expected to, like a high school house party, bring your own alcohol and food and place it on the large table in the centre of the hall for everyone to try. In return you try everything on the table yourself. You won't get kicked out for not bringing your own goods but you may end up in many fights over it.
Drinking halls then have many side tables with benches just off from the main table. This is so that groups can have a drink with one another in a semi-private space.
Finally, if one wishes, they can throw down some of the many furs on display and rest for the night in a quiet corner of the tavern, if one is willing to contend with the noise.
It may seem barbaric, foolish and unprofessional, but the drink halls are a key part of the fabric and culture of the people of Warlington.

Alterations

Drink halls started as training grounds before being redeveloped, cleared out and made to house as many benches, beds and tables as possible.

Architecture

The drink halls are made with the same architecture as houses from Warlington but on a larger scale, often appearing like large warehouses from a distance.
