The Spouting Fish
The Spouting Fish is a tavern located in South Ward, Waterdeep.
Large, noisy ("A bit like drinking in the thick of a street brawl," one bravo told me, correctly), and popular, this brightly lit establishment succeeds largely because of its relentless street-crying advertising and its strategic location. Many folk entering the city via Southgate get to it's huge, upright, spouting fish water fountain and decide they're thirsty. Inside its a many-leveled labyrinth of booths, benches, posts, and beams, all unpainted and very flammable. Two hired members of the Watchful Order are always on duty because of the fire hazard. Zzar, wines, and beers are available, but the paltry roast fowl, bread, and sausages (1 taol/serving of each) are heavily salted to make you drink more.
Proprietress: Janess Imristar is a small, bustling, mousy woman whose loud voice and fearless demeanor belie her size.
