The Man-o'-War, also written as the Man O' War, was a high-quality restaurant and inn on the Rock of Bral in the mid-to-late 14th DR. It was considered by some to be among the best such establishments in all the crystal spheres.[1][2] Its owners were unknown, but were rumored to be adventurers, and it was managed by Shrii Hallek.[2]
Location[]
The tavern stood in the High City part of Bral,[1] on Grand Street and at the end of High Street. It stood between House Cartan and the Royal Theatrical Company, and backed onto Lake Bral.[3]
Description[]
It had an amazing view over Lake Bral.[1][2]
Atmosphere[]
The Man O' War had such a high reputation for elegance and safety that the rulers of Bral had visiting diplomats stay here when guestrooms in the Starhaven palace were fully occupied.[1] Hallek was very respectful to guests.[2]
There was a strict dress code in the dining room, and both weapons and armor were proscribed for patrons.[1][2]
Defenses[]
Security was provided by a force of elite mercenaries who were paid very well to guarantee guests' safety.[1]
Services[]
A standard dinner cost as much as 8–12 gp per person, but the food was top quality and the best in Bral, while the service was exceptional.[1]
Moreover, it had ten luxurious suites of rooms that could be rented for 10–30 gp per night. This included breakfast each morning and a bottle of fine wine.[1]
