Thunderbrew Distillery

Here is Thunderbrew Distillery!


Location: Kharanos, Dun Morogh, Eastern Kingdoms

Coordinates: 54.06.50.82
Capacity: 17, only 9 of which are interactable. On the main floor is two small tables with two seats each (only one table has interactable seats), one large table with four non-interactable seats, and one large table with three non-interactable seats. Upstairs is a small table with two seats and six seats arranged in a good meeting circle. All of the upstairs seats are interactable. Even the downstairs non-interactable seats are theoretically sit-able. That was long, sorry.
Rooms: 3. All rooms are accessible by going down the steps located in the kitchen. Two rooms have two beds each, and the largest room has only one bed. All rooms come with private fireplaces, tables, and shelves.
Architectural Style: Dwarf
Important NPCs: Innkeeper Belm, Kreg Bilmn (General Supplies)
Atmosphere: It seems like a lively sort of place. Kind of dark, but one is to assume that it would be a very warm place after the snowy atmosphere of Dun Morogh. It can be rather crowded with low leveled players depending on the time of day, although not as much as some other early-level inns.
Amenities: For roleplay purposes, there is a forge right across the path outside. Steelgrill's Depot is a very short walk away. There is also a Flight Master right nearby and Ironforge itself isn't a bad walk away.
Inns of Warcraft Quality Rating: 3/5
Despite how crowded this inn can be, I really like this one. I may be biased though. The upstairs seating area is a big plus, despite the lackluster main room. It just feels like a lively, yet homey, place.

See? It's a nice seating area!

Stonefire Tavern

Okay, so first of all, the picture I'm about to post has so many things wrong with it, but I'm using it anything because it's also great.

1) This isn't even a picture of the inn. I missed. The inn is that half a doorway on the far right of the picture. 2) There's a guy running his mount into a wall. 3) What is that face?
Location: Ironforge Commons, Dun Morogh, Eastern Kingdoms

Coordinates: 21.15.53.04

Capacity: 11. Two tables with four seats each downstairs, one table with three seats upstairs. Some standing room at the bar.
Rooms: None.
Architectural Style: Dwarf
Important NPCs: Innkeeper Firebrew, Gwenna Firebrew (Barmaid)
Atmosphere: Very small and cramped, but homey at the same time. More of a bar than an inn. Very dark, as is typical in Ironforge.
Amenities: All the important amenities in Ironforge are very easily accessible.
Inns of Warcraft Quality Rating: 2/5
A decent bar, although not really an inn, and it's really quite cramped. But it seems comfortable, so it gets an extra point.

There's also a balcony! And my character is just making great faces tonight.

Sentinel Hill Town / Camp

Here's our first non-inn Neat Spot!


Location: Sentinel Hill, Westfall, Eastern Kingdoms

Coordinates: 56.40.53.33
Why it's Neat:

There's no enemies in the immediate area (they're right outside the gates, but a safe distance away from the town itself). Four tents for the soldier-types with a base tent. There's also three empty houses.

There's two of the houses in the background.
Oh, and there's even a practically empty sawmill! The only NPCs in there are some generic, unnamed workers.

Westfall Woodworkers 2 and 3.
All in all, I really like seeing empty buildings in WoW because they get my creativity flowing because I make up characters in my head that might live there.

Sentinel Hill Inn

This one's really tiny and empty!


Location: Sentinel Hill, Westfall, Eastern Kingdoms

Coordinates: 53.01.53.27
Capacity: No seating, but plenty of floor space.
Rooms: No rooms, but there are 10 beds!
Architectural Style: Human
Important NPCs: Innkeeper Heather
Atmosphere: It looks rundown, much like the rest of Westfall. Very, very quiet. Oh, and there's enemies literally right out the back door.
Amenities: Not much, since there's really not much in Sentinel Hill. A neat thing RP-wise is that a short walk away there is a little guard camp with some tents and empty houses, and I just think that it's a neat little spot.
Inns of Warcraft Quality Rating: 1/5
Sadly, the little housing area doesn't make up for the lack of in-inn (heehee) features, and the fact that there are enemies on the doorstep.

So many beds! Also, I think she sneezed.

Lion's Pride Inn

Do I have to do this one?

Welcome to Goldshire!
Location: Goldshire, Elwynn Forest, Eastern Kingdoms

Coordinates: 42.85.65.71
Capacity: 12. Technically, there's a lot more than twelve seats, but only twelve are interactable, and the ones that aren't cannot be sat on manually either, except for two.
Rooms: 3. One has a small single bed, one has a large bed and some chairs, and the last one has a separate sitting area and two single beds.
Architectural Style: Human
Important NPCs: Innkeeper Farley, Barkeep Dobbins, Brog Hamfist (General Supplies), Toddrick (Butcher)
Atmosphere: Look, if you want to know about this place, go look it up, because I don't want to explain it. On PvE servers it is almost always safe, although it tends to be a rather gossip-filled area in general.
Amenities: This tends to be the most popular place Alliance-side for duels, if that counts for anything. There's also a Flight Master right nearby.
Inns of Warcraft Quality: 1/5
Honestly, this would be a pretty decent inn if it weren't for its reputation. It just doesn't feel right to give it a higher score.

I play on a PvE server, so ha, my Goldshire is clean!

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 Lantern

Here is The Golden Lantern.

Location: Shrine of Seven Stars, Vale of Eternal Blossoms, Pandaria

Coordinates: 32.34.59.92
Capacity: 7. Four seats at the bar. Three seats at a table in the sleeping area. Plenty of standing room.
Rooms: No rooms, but there are two available beds.
Architectural Style: Pandaren
Important NPCs: Matron Vi Vinh (Innkeeper), Bonni Chang (General Goods), Sway Dish Chef (Food & Drink), Collin Gooddreg (Exotic Brews), Sarya Teaflower (Barmaid), Meng Chi the Fist (Brews)
Atmosphere: Very nice and lively. Can be fairly crowded and congested by the entrance, but the rest of the inn is usually very quiet. It has the feel of a bar more than an inn.
Amenities: The entire Shrine of Seven Stars is within easy walking distance. Upstairs is the bank and across the way and up the steps there are portals to the Alliance capital cities.
Inns of Warcraft Quality Rating: 5/5
Convenience, aesthetics, and character outweigh the congested front entrance.
