Fishbone Tavern was a rough-and-tumble drinking establishment near Luskan's Open Shore docks.[1][3]

Location[]

The tavern was located a few blocks away from the Open Shore (an area of the Whitesails Harbor[4]). It was close enough to smell the sea air and hear the sea gulls.[1]

The building was easily recognized by the hanging sign above the door, which bore the establishment's name as well as a real, rotting fish that was nailed to the board.[1]

Interior[]

The inside was dark and cramped with only eight tables, each with stools for sitting. The long, dark-stained wooden bar dominated one side of the room, with oval plaques bearing yellowed fish skeletons adorning the wall behind it. The wall opposite the bar had a small, smoky fireplace.[1]

Services[]

The tavern catered to local laborers and fishers. It was also a popular haunt and thus a front for Dran Enterprises.[1][2]

History[]

As of the late 15th century DR, every dockworker in Luskan was familiar with the Fishbone Tavern.[1]

By the 1496 DR,[note 1] both the owner, Fryer, and bouncer, Zurb, worked with Dran Enterprises. Fryer spied on her clientele on their behalf while Zurb kept their enemies out of the tavern.[1][2] Members of Dran Enterprises frequented the tavern, while regulars who were not affiliated with that faction included Milo, Rakeem, Tortuk, and Velos.[2]

  1. Canon material does not provide a year for the events described in Acquisitions Incorporated, but Jerry Holkins answered a question via Twitter and stated the year was 1496 DR. Unless a canon source contradicts this assertion, this wiki will use 1496 DR for events related to this sourcebook.
