Tavern
v50.14 · v0.47.05 This article is about the current version of DF.Note that some content may still need to be updated. |
Fortress mode
A Tavern is a designated location in Fortress mode. It is a place where dwarves and visitors can socialize and entertain each other. Depending on the furnishings, patrons may also drink, eat, or rent a room for sleeping.
A tavern may be designated from a meeting area, or from a dining room. However, it has been reported that the tavern keeper occupation only works if there is a meeting area associated with the tavern.[Verify] Upon creation, the tavern is given a random name; the name may be changed by pressing n in the location screen.
Buildings that are helpful to taverns are tables and chairs as well as containers for storing instruments and goblets. There should also be some amount of empty space (dance floor). In addition, bedrooms can be assigned to a tavern by selecting the room with q and selecting location. When bedrooms are assigned to a tavern, they are called "rented rooms" on the location screen.
Occupations assignable to taverns are performers and tavern keepers. Tavern keepers serve drinks to patrons in goblets. Tavern patrons can include mercenaries, monster slayers, bandits, diplomats and performers. Performers will entertain the public regardless of how well-equipped the tavern is, but the tavern keepers are hardly ever seen working. Reportedly, the only way to make them not completely useless is to place an alcohol stockpile somewhere inside the tavern's location.[Verify]
Adventure mode
Taverns are also generated in settlements in Adventure mode. Taverns are also visible in the structures list of legends mode. One similar structure in Fortress mode is a dining room.
