The Buried Hatchet
"Here at the Buried Hatchet Brewery, we take the greatest care to provide the smoothest beverages from beans to barley and barrels. Enjoy our hand-crafted house recipe mead! Waking up early to prepare for that presentation, or staying up late to study? Why not sample our coffee made from slow-roasted, locally-sourced beans, or one of our signature express-o's? If you need to apologize to an unfathomable force of nature, there's nothing like the gift of a bottle of bourbon to tell her you're sorry for being a hot mess. Bring the kids! With axe-throwing on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, it's fun for the whole family!
Come sit down with us morning, high-sun, or night! Throw your worries away at the Buried Hatchet!"
The Buried Hatchet is a brewery that produces and serves many different kinds of beverages including liquor, ale, mead, tea, and coffee. Water is available on special request, but you might be judged for it. Patrons can sit at indoor or covered outdoor tables to chat or simply get out of the sun. A limited menu of food items is also available. Axe-throwing competitions are held three times weekly.
Architecture
The brewery is two stories tall on the outside, but not particularly large, with a total of one and a half floors on the inside and one basement. Parts of this structure were fixtures from the original settlement's architecture prior to its re-branding, since then reclaimed, revitalized, and given new purpose. Most of the outside is made of weathered granite slabs with the exception of some sandstone accents. Its geometrical shapes heavily imply Dwarven craftsmanship. The main entrance features a pair of heavy wooden double doors banded with iron and bears an extended roof supported by two columns. Between those columns are hitching posts and water troughs for animals (or very very thirsty people). To the left and above the doors is the sign harboring the brewery's name, etched into stone with the name translated into Dwarvish just beneath it. There is a real hatchet, rusting away, plunged into the top of the sign as if the weapon is the sole object keeping it aloft.
The first floor, and the only floor most patrons will see, is a single two-story room with a mezzanine level on the right side and railings made of iron. Rows upon rows of barrels locked into steel shelves line the left side of the room from floor to ceiling, giving the place a rustic-industrial aesthetic. Far enough in front of the entryway to satisfy safety standards, there are six aisles created for axe-throwing. The targets are thick wooden boards, each painted to represent a Beholder, the eye-stalks upon which are for various point groups. This section is separated from the sitting areas by a large net made of steel chains, which have been known to spit small sparks upon collision by an axe.
The right side of the room, including the mezzanine, is where all of the tables and chairs sit. There are more windows on the upper level, keeping that section well-lit with natural lighting during the day. The order counter (a long, simple, rectangular thing made out of the same sturdy, darkly-stained wood as the tables) is held within the lower level, and it features a handful of small standing menus written on with colorful chalk. Behind that counter, close to the back corner, is a door that fits so smoothly into the wall that the only indication there is a narrow room beyond that area are the few feet the lower portion of the section lack compared the the upper level. Through that door are the stairs that lead into the basement. The right-side wall of the lower level also features double doors that lead to a covered outside patio area, strategically built to shelter patrons from the wind. A neat line of colorful glass ornaments dangle from the roof's outer edges, painting the patio space in hues of swirling greens, blues, and purples most potently just after dawn and right before dusk.
The Adult Black Dragon head is a new addition to the interior, and is tastefully mounted on the side of the mezzanine's floor platform, facing the axe-throwing rage.
The basement is where most of the brewing actually happens. Priorities are made clear as approximately 80% of it is dedicated to the craft while 20% is dedicated to a humble living and sleeping area suitable for five Dwarves and a Githyanki.
