Let’s pour one out for best laid plans. So this post was supposed to go up yesterday on St Patrick’s Day, but I forgot. Well, better a day late than never. So, in honor of the greatest excuse to drink Irish beer that the year provides, I give you a double whammy of Oddities on Parades, 12 bars in Sliberberg, and 12 beverages one can get at those bars.

Bars

1. The Sword and Anvil: A dwarven meadhall in the Market ward hall known for its collection of unusual weaponry. The centerpiece is a really nice sword stuck fast in a stone anvil with an inscription in Lyonesse English. For 5 marks, you can try to pull it out, but nobody has succeeded, and yes, it is one of the Swords in the Stone. There are more than you think
2. Birdhaus: Located in a treehouse in Market Grove Bazaar, this little dive bar is the favorite haunt for corvids and birds down on their luck. Non-birds are technically welcome in Birdhaus, but the fact that the only ground access is via a rope ladder generally discourages groundbound mortals from drinking with the birds. Squaker, the parrot who runs the joint, is surprisingly upbeat for a guy who serves bird baths filled with beer to crows, ravens, and songbirds singing the blues.
3. Damnation: A favorite joint in the Red Lantern Warrens, this smoky dance hall is known for three things: hellfire gin, infernal jazz, and devilish deserters from the Infernal Reich partaking of the first two items in the list. It’s a place that’s hopping every night with live music, copious amounts of infernal liquor, and every vice you can imagine. Damnation proudly wears its reputation as a den of vice.
4. The Under-Barrel Lounge: Current recordholder for the smallest bar in the Feengrenze. This mouse-sized, and notoriously shifty, mouse speakeasy is located under one of the barrels in the aging cellar of Jb Micheal and Sons Brewery in Tannery Row. Supposedly, the joint is the favorite haunt of the rodent second-story crew known as the hole-in-the-wall gang.
5. In Betweens: A bar with no physical address in the city or the Feengrenze. This upscale pub in a demiuniverse run by a genie who caters to a very specific clientele: professional wizards and other magic folk. To enter, you have to perform a ritual at the door of any other pub in the city without anyone noticing.
6. The Backstage and the Brewers Cabaret: Technically two establishments in Amharclann Circus, separated by a cleverly disguised one-way window. The Backstage is a relatively typical pub that would normally be out of place in a theater district. Brewers Cabaret is an avant-garde theatrical experience in which Backstage patrons serve as unwitting performers. The Brewers Cabaret employs several actors to serve as staff and regulars at the Backstage, seeding the nightly performances.
7. Jamberry Junes: Located deep in Pixiewood, Jamberry Junes is an outdoor pixie karaoke bar known for its faerie-fruit mixed drinks served in human-sized shot glasses and for pop tunes sung badly by drunk pixies. The sound is so bad that a permanent silence spell is cast on the surrounding trees.
8. Aunty Slags Party Barge: A run-down dive/distillery on a half sunken barge off the hag’s boardwalk, the Barge specializes in frothy green mixed drinks made from high proof mushroom hooch (green lightning) brewed on site, mixed with more mushrooms. It’s the favorite haunt of the city’s hags (it is literally the only place in town that serves anything strong enough to get them drunk) and the more adventurous/ignorant mortals and fey who think drinking hallucinogenic mushroom moonshine is a good idea.
9. The Grotto: Located in the cliffside cave due north of the dock ward along the Sliber River, The Grotto is a tiki bar that caters to both merfolk and ground folk. The entire bar is a single giant heated indoor pool, with the bar on one wall. Swimwear rentals are provided for landfolk, and there is live music most nights. It’s favored by the city’s young romantics and those who think themselves daring, and it’s one of the more popular date spots for mermaids and their human boyfriends.
10. The von Sablemere Wine Cellar: Located in Kronenhöhen, this exclusive club occasionally operates in the von Sablemere estate’s wine cellar—without the Count’s or Countess’s knowledge. The club is run by the family’s eldest son, a notorious rake, and his equally irresponsible friends whenever his parents are out of town. Attendance is invite-only, and it is supposedly the venue for some of the wildest parties in Sliberberg
11. The Paintshed: Located in The Drops, the Paintshed is one of only three authentic goblin bars located in the city. It is located in a dirty, low-ceiling basement with dirt floors and ricketty small furniture. Its specialty is goblin beer, a notoriously disgusting green ale, and the yark special served only to nongoblins. Do not order a yark special under any circumstances, or you will learn why the bar is called the paint shed.
12. What’sitsname: Located in Slibermond, this bar is the most forgettable in the city. It is so forgettable that no one remembers where it is, what the inside looks like, or what brews they serve. Everybody who has drunk at What’sitsname cannot remember any detail of the place except its name, the moment they stumble out the door. Naturally, people end up there when they are trying to forget their troubles, if the bar even exists.

Drinks

1. Gutnzers GPA: A traditional Goblin pail ale. Don’t ask what the pail was used for before brewing the beer if you want to keep your liquor. 
2. New Vladimir-Suzdal Imperial Stout: An imported Russian Imperial stout from New Vladimir-Suzdal, known for its strength. It is typically served with a hammer and chisel to chip off bits for easy consumption.
3. GIgglejuice: A traditional Faerie wine made from various types of Faerie fruit, known to produce intense laughter all night, hence the name. Pixies are known to love the stuff.
4. Seabounty ale. A traditional merfolk beer created from grains harvested from certain seagrasses. It tastes so briny that it’s only palatable if you are drunk or desperate for a drink
5. Steiner’s Light Pilsner: Brewed at a small brewery in Slibermond, it gives a new definition of the term “light beer,” one that requires the drinker to stay indoors until they’re sober and, ideally, tie one leg to the bar.
6. Carrey Head Ale. It’s a traditional British Ale brewed domestically in Sliberberg’s Carrey Head Neighborhood. That in itself is strange in a city filled with descendants of lager-loving ethnic Germans. It is surprisingly popular, especially among people who insist they don’t like ale.
7. Dreammead: The most expensive drink in Sliberberg, produced in limited quantities in the northern valley by well-compensated bees. The beverage produces mild hallucinations when imbibed
8. White Rider Ill. That’s not a typo; White Rider is a beer that tastes divine, but it makes the drinker violently sick after just a single shot. It’s a popular hangover preventative.
9. Old Scratch Gin: The finest infernal gin in the city. Served hot, it burns all the way down and fills the ears with the screams of the damned. Also popular in several mixed drinks, including the Old Scratch Collins, Hell Fizz, and the Devil’s Face.
10. Qualdrian Special Whiskey: Expensive imported whisky mixed with Qualdrian extra-strong espresso during bottling. Does not cause drunkenness and is the only safe way to drink Qualdrian extra-strong espresso without going knurd.
11. Black Sniper Rum: Extra strong Manyrevelian rum sold in black bottles. One shot, undiluted, and you’re on the floor. Each bottle contains an arrowhead that was supposedly used by the infamous hitman in past assassinations.
12. Green Lightning: Sold at a few disreputable hag-run establishments in the city, this highly unregulated hooch is usually green and brewed on-site from various mushrooms. It is the preferred drink of hags. Mortals who try the stuff never drink it again, one way or another.
