The Slaughtered Lamb

While this next one does not have an actual innkeeper, it is considered an inn for RP-purposes. Well, it's more like a bar, but I'm classifying it as an inn for ease's sake. Inns, bars, taverns; they're really all the same thing in WoW anyway.

Such a pretty exterior!
Location: Stormwind Mage Quarter, Elwynn Forest, Eastern Kingdoms

Coordinates: 42.37.81.60
Capacity: 10. One small table with four seats and one large table with six seats. Also plenty of standing room at the bar.
Rooms: None.
Architectural Style: Human
Important NPCs: Jarel Moor (Bartender)
Atmosphere: Looks like a decent bar. Just ignore the dark corridor on the back wall. And the name of the bar itself. It is almost always very quiet here though.
Amenities: The bar itself is in a rather inconvenient place, with no nearby amenities aside from a fireworks shop. The rest of the Mage Quarter is a bit of walk away.
Inns of Warcraft Quality Rating: 2/5
There really isn't much wrong with this place as far as a meet-up spot goes. I mean, there is one teensy little problem that keeps it from being a 3/5...

Hello, Warlock hidey hole!
Oh, if you're RP-ing a Warlock though, this place is a 4/5!

The Golden Keg

Here, we have The Golden Keg.
Location: Stormwind Dwarven District, Elwynn Forest, Eastern Kingdoms
Coordinates: 64.13.32.70
Capacity: 15. Two large tables with six chairs each, and one small table with three chairs. w
Rooms: None.
Architectural Style: Dwarven
Important NPCs: Thaegra Tillstone (Innkeeper), Myrla Stoneround (Barmaid), Colin Field (Tavernkeeper)
Atmosphere: Fairly crowded on occasion, although much less than The Gilded Rose. Very spacious with large tables. A large, open upstairs area. One small table in the back of the inn is very private.
Amenities: Very close to the Dwarven District's Auction House and Bank. A short walk to a scenic lake and portal access to Cataclysm zones and to Pandaria. Convenient access to the tram that goes between Stormwind and Ironforge.
Inns of Warcraft Quality Rating: 3/5
The lack of inn rooms is made up for by a high capacity and easy access to amenities. Also, inside just looks nice.

The spacious dining area of the inn.

The Gilded Rose

First on our list of destinations is The Gilded Rose.

The building on the left.
Okay, so let's just get something straight here.
Why are these pictures in the form of selfies? Well, there's two answers to that: 1) My account has the S.E.L.F.I.E Camera unlocked and I'm not doing anything with it, so I thought this was a purpose for the thing and 2) I thought it would be kind of funny. It's also mildly more entertaining than taking regular old screenshots, which I've been doing for seven or so years. So I guess there's three reasons.

Anyway, on to the information.

Location: Stormwind Trade District, Elwynn Forest, Eastern Kingdoms

Coordinates: 60.99.74.62
Capacity: 8 Seats. 4 seats surrounding a table in the back. 4 seats in the entryway surrounding a bear skin rug.
Rooms: 2. 1 single bed, and 1 large sized bed.
Architectural Style: Human
NPCs: Innkeeper Allison
Atmosphere: Very busy. Can be somewhat immersion breaking at times due to a high number of players AFK at the Innkeeper's feet. Rather cramped inside.
Amenities: Easy access to Stormwind's primary bank and auction house. Conveniently located a short walk away from the Flight Master and Hair Salon.
Inns of Warcraft Quality Rating: 1/5
It is simply too crowded to be comfortable. Good to pop into at the end of a day, but not so great for sticking around in to chat




The main floor of the inn contains the seating area.
