Barge Inn
This is another of the thriving taverns popular with visitors to Greyhawk. Generally about half of the clientele consists of various humanoids, the rest being humans of the city, bargefolk, mercenaries, and sailors. The Inn occupies a commanding curve in the River Quarter as well. Thus it is one of the busiest and rowdiest taverns in the city.
One of the largest inns in the city, this four-story structure comes with two cone-shaped towers and a huge ale brewery in the cellar. It was once the headquarters of a trading company that went bankrupt during the reign of Zagig Yragerne. Murals and carvings of ships and barges are in every room. The Barge Inn gets enormous spillover business from The Pit, and it is one of the rowdiest and noisiest places around. Because the owner is a Dragonborn, most of the clientele is humanoid, but many adventurers, sailors, freight-haulers, and thieves stay here, too. Anyone who causes trouble is thrown out but allowed back in the following day.
The owner and manager, Brack Snagtooth, is one of the few Dragonborn in the city. Despite his mysterious origins, he has made a home for himself, becoming one of the most highly regarded innkeeps in the Free City. Brack is almost always seen at the Barge inn, talking with customers and settling disputes between clients.
Brack and his "waiters" are also the enforcers of what little order there is at the inn. They move quickly to throw troublemakers out the front door with profane admonishments never to return. Of course, the brouhaha will be forgotten by the following day. Brack also owns Snagtooth Shipbuilding on the Selintan outside the city’s west walls, though he rarely goes there.
