Hook, Line, and Sinker

This tavern owes its popularity to the free half-pints of ale that the proprietor, Eglendar "Glen" Korr, keeps on the table by the front door. He presses one into the hand of every person who stops by (the hook), which compels most of them to stay to order seconds and thirds (the line). The “sinker” part of the tavern’s name refers both to the last drink call of the night and—when locals challenge visitors to a drinking contest—to the last drink that sends a losing contestant under the table.
