The Bridge and Bow

The Bridge and Bow was an alehouse located in the city of Archenbridge during the mid-to-late 14 century DR. It was known for its peace and quiet.

Location
The shop was located on the northern part of town, well hidden down a side alley off Pelter's Street.

Structure
The Bow was had two floors: a taproom on the first floor, and a meeting room above it. The latter was well suited for private meetings: it had thick tapestries and double walls keeping the noise from being heard outside, as well as a secret ladder in a closet that allowed access to the cellars and from there to the sewers.

Services
Customers at the Bow could get served a varied selection of drinks such as ales, stouts, and sherries. One could also get a light meal there, such as salted fish, sausage, cheese, and buttered bread&mdash;for 5 gp a platter.

The house special was called a "Liggins", and consisted of all of the menu items cooked together and served on a slab of hot bread with cheese holding everything together. It was named after a former proprietor.

The meeting room could be rented for the sum of 25 gp for an evening, a price which included some drinks for the guests.
