Blushing Mermaid

A famous lower-class tavern in the city of Baldur's Gate It is located in the northeast part of the Upper City.

Patronage
The Mermaid is reknowned up and down the Sword Coast as a meeting place for those who wish to conduct illicit business. It is a noisy place frequently beset by brawls, and patrons either go in heavily armed groups or do not survive for long. A representative of virtually any illegal group operating in Baldur's Gate can usually be found somewhere on the premises, and the Mermaid is the best place to engage the services of any of them.

Architecture & Decor
The Mermaid is long, low, and gives every appearance of imminent collapse (although it is actually quite sound). It is surrounded on three sides by a tangle of stables, outbuildings, and enclosures. It is known to have at least four levels of cellars, and many more are said to exist. Stories abound of hidden passages and connections to the city's sewer system.

The tavern's rooms are low of ceiling and dim of lighting, furnished with mismatched and much-abused furniture.

Fare
The establishment serves sea-ale, stout, light golden lager, and strong whisky. No wine of any sort is available. The Mermaid does not serve food, although one is welcome to bring one's own.
