[[Image:5coin.jpg|100px]]: '''Extravagant.'''

[[Image:2pints.jpg|40px]]: '''Mediocre'''. * The drink is uninspired: common drinks are alright, hard liquors still burn going down, and the wines are basic cooking and table wines. * The food is simple, but filling and unlikely to offend the senses. [[Image:3pints.jpg|60px]]: '''Decent'''. * The drink is worth having: common drinks are hearty and flavorful, hard liquors are smoother, and the wines are full-bodied and complement the meals well. * The food is good, with portions that won't leave a patron hungry, and well-prepared and -seasoned besides. [[Image:4pints.jpg|80px]]: '''Good'''. * The drink is delightful: common drinks are rich and likely unique, memorable brews, hard liquors are finely crafted, and the wines are usually expensive and poured from bottles rather than decanters or pitchers. * The food is quite memorable, and often the establishment has a signature meal of some kind. Even the poorer fare here is quite good. [[Image:5pints.jpg|100px]]: '''Renowned'''. * The drink is divine: common drinks are powerful and heady, the hard liquors are enlivening and rich-flavored, and the wines are complex and potent. * The food is remarkable, and its head cook (or "chef" in the Cormyrean fashion) is likely well-known in the community at least. Banquets are among the kinds of food served, with complex and nuanced preparation, served in embarrassing plenitude. <div style="text-align: center; font-size: 125%">Accommodation (Pipes)</div> [[Image:1pipe.jpg|30px]]: '''Poor'''. * Sleeping accommodations are thin, dirty mattresses, probably bug-infested. * Baths are never included in the basic prices, if they're available at all. * Fairly dirty. * Common rooms are most common, and private rooms unlikely to be offered. [[Image:2pipe.jpg|40px]]: '''Modest'''. * Sleeping accommodations are old straw mattresses on rope-supported bunks, mostly clean. * Baths are usually still extra. * Common rooms are common as are rooms (though they usually place multiple beds in a single room). [[Image:3pipe.jpg|60px]]: '''Comfortable'''. * Sleeping accommodations are good, newer straw mattresses on fair-sized frames, with both sheet and blanket, all of it clean. * Baths are included in the price, but washing is extra. * Common rooms are less likely here, and there is a split between private and multiple-bed rooms. [[Image:4pipe.jpg|80px]]: '''Wealthy'''. * Sleeping accommodations are very nice, full feather mattresses on wide bedframes, with multiple layers of pristine bedclothes. * Baths are included, likely in-room, and other washing is done for free as well. * Common rooms are almost unheard of (except for servants or guards), and most rooms are private. There are some suites as well. [[Image:5pipe.jpg|100px]]: '''Aristocratic'''. * Not many places have this level of quality to offer, but the accommodations involve multiple layers of feather mattresses and the finest bedlinens. * Bathing is not just free, but servants to bath the guest are common, and washing, repair of clothing and many other services are included free of charge. * No common rooms, and only a few single-room accommodations; most of the rooms are elegantly appointed suites. {{WaterdeepGuide}} </div> ==[[Castle Ward of Waterdeep|Castle Ward]]== {{Castle Ward Nightlife}} ==[[Sea Ward of Waterdeep|Sea Ward]]== {{Sea Ward Nightlife}} ==[[North Ward of Waterdeep|North Ward]]== {{North Ward Nightlife}} ==[[Trades Ward of Waterdeep|Trades Ward]]== {{Trades Ward Nightlife}} ==[[South Ward of Waterdeep|South Ward]]== {{South Ward Nightlife}} ==[[Dock Ward of Waterdeep|Dock Ward]]== {{Dock Ward Nightlife}} ==Previous Eras== * [[1354 DR Nightlife of Waterdeep|1354 DR]]
