The Sleeping Snake was a tavern in the Dock Ward of Waterdeep.[1][2][8][9]
Location[]
This store stood on Dock Street, across from the shop Nestaur's Ropes.[4][5][6][7]
Structure[]
The Sleeping Snake's structure stood only a single story tall.[1][2]
Interior[]
This tavern was roughly furnished with furniture that were all hastily mended.[3]
Atmosphere[]
The Sleeping Snake had a rather rowdy atmosphere to it, being frequented by dockhands[3] and members of the Black Boar tribe,[10] patrons who often broke the establishment's furniture over each others' heads.[3]
Services[]
In addition to the standard tavern fare, the Sleeping Snake employed human, half-elf, and half-orc dancers that performed atop of tables. Sometimes even singing. These dancers were willing to do activities besides dancing for a negotiable price. Anyone who harmed the dancers was charged a fine of a single silver piece.[3]
Rumors & Legends[]
Rumors around the Sleeping Snake suggested that one could encounter a fence for stolen goods within the establishment.[3][11] In truth this rumor was false, but utilized by the Red Sashes member,[3] Hlintas Urtel, most evenings[12] to spy on those engaging in shady business.[3]
