Welcome to Durin's Rock N Boot - Yuletide Pub
Set in a comfortable hall deep within the mountain, this is the most famous pub in the land. There is no day or night where it isn't packed with rowdy and merry dwarves. So come in and grab a mug of ale - the selection is vast from home-grown to imported- or sing a song kick some axe or just have some plain good old fun. And remember, Tuesdays is always two for one and "once all the mugs have been smashed, the only other option is to drink out of one's boot."

Set aside from the tables is a special pit where folk can fight and settle disputes. THE FIGHTING PIT. It's considered common courtesy to take disagreements there rather than damaging the rest of the establishment. Also set aside is one large table for DRINKING CONTESTS. If you're a particularly stubborn dwarf who doesn't like the presence of foreigners, either of these areas would be your opportunity to challenge the outsiders to show who belongs where. If you choose to engage in a drinking contest, a special judge will be around to regulate the competition.
And for those who like a Singalong/Karaoke ,the stage is set . The music is provided by The Axe Men, a group of Dwarven musicians who keep their instruments finely tuned - day and night - and never seem to wear out the beat.
Enjoy!
*Flats and Silent Nog greet you at the door with a 'Greetings' from Flats and a 'nod' from Nog. Grinning like the happy two they are, they usher you inside and the first thing that you hear is, "Deck The Halls With Goblin Balls." Soon, you discover why. The tavern has been transformed into a literal Yuletide Log. Logs everywhere. Logs for chairs and tables: log lanterns hanging from the ceiling, log plates, log mugs, and even log silverware. And even though the dwarves do not celebrate the season as other races do, they enjoy a good party and never miss an opportunity to have a pint or two (or three or four..).
You nod your greeting and begin to investigate the tavern. Even with the many Yule Log lanterns hanging from the ceiling, it is a dimly lit affair. There are log tables and chairs, a log bar, a log stage, several log pool tables, and a log dartboard. Various Dwarves are scattered about the bar, doing what they do best (arguing and drinking). Alf and Duff are off doing Durin knows what; Drifa is by the bar smelling pipe-weed; some other Dwarves are at a small log table, going over plans to enter a new shaft; a Dwarf is onstage singing a merry Yuletide song. You enter the establishment. *
** DISCLAIMER: please be careful when smoking in this tavern; logs are dry and highly flammable. Please smoke with caution. **

Drink Menu:
Durin's Stout - a dark, bitter beer served tonight by a few stout, bitter dwarves who never got named Durin.
King's Claret - a.k.a. Dorwinion Wine imported from down south. It makes you sleepy, don't you know?
Rohan Red - strong ale, made to make you snicker like a horse when consuming too many.
Seven Heaven - tales from Minas Tirith have it that this wine makes one feel like when, upon reaching the seventh level of the city, one feels they have reached heaven (although the climb and the change in oxygen levels may have something to do with this.)
The Pass It Round - a.k.a. Miruvor the cordial of Imladris. Just a mouthful -for it is very precious- if you drink more, you will spend the rest of the night, exclaiming; "Pass it round!" subsequently never having more than the first few sips of the cordial
Bilbo's Shire Ale - in honour of the great halfling. Polite to the tongue yet fulfilling for any Dwarf's drinking requirements, this one will get you talking.
Mount Doom Booze- if you want a rush, this is your spirit of choice. Bubbling with blue mist, it will send you into a spin. Your brain will scream. You'll burp out cold blue flames; if they don't come out that way, they'll come out the other end.
Ra-Hoom-Rah Tea - a potent Ent draught that curls the hair on your head and toes!
Some Old Favorites:
Telperion Mist - An old favorite of the dwarves . Drink at your own risk!
The Pippy - A way to get drunk twice as fast and with an extra kick. Beware of boots. Big boots.
Orc Bite - Created to give dwarves the courage to face a horde of orcs wearing nothing but towels and armed with nothing but feathers.
The Locust Lake Drink - This ale's history is mainly clouded, but a counsel of ale experts deemed it too strong to be safe...
Long Mordor Ice Tea - The favourite drink of the Orcs is always drunk after battle victories. It cools the throat and quenches thirst. Its slightly minty flavour gives even the most filthy Orcs minty freshness. It was served with a delicate Shire olive and an Oggled Khazad leaf.
Lorien Breezer - A light-coloured drink, this is a heavily fortified cocktail sure to entice the palate of men and women alike. This drink is made from the freshest herbs, spices, and several ounces of whiskey and will set your soul on fire.
Sandbrow Ale - An ale with a caffeine kick due to a little Mahal Espresso. Best served with limes, this sweet ale inspires singing and turns hair a bright, stunning blue for about fifteen minutes.
Food:
This is up to your imagination. Meat, bread, pie, potatoes, vegetables, eggs, cheese, or any combination thereof, and anything else you might fancy. Simply approach one of the tavern staff (Flats, Alf, Silent Nog or Duff) and order whatever you're hungry for.
Smoking Chamber:
For those that fancy pipe smoking, join others in the special Smoking Chamber and experiment or show off some of your techniques and creations.
Guidelines:
1. The pub is open to all races, whether Dwarf, elf, hobbit, goblin, man, or anything else.
2. If you want to order a drink or food, just call your order to Flats and Silent Nog or Alf and Duff. (Feel free to god mode these four tavern staff) .
3. If you want to fight, take it to the pit. And if you do want to challenge someone to a drinking contest, bring it to the competition table! Label the top of your post and who you are challenging if you are in one of these two areas. Don't god mode!
4. Be creative with the drinks! Each drink has a mild and curious effect. Interpret the descriptions of the drinks however you please and react to the drinks' effects accordingly. RPing the effects is not required, but if you choose to drink the Mount Doom Booze, there are no ifs or buts; you must RP the blue flame effect!
