Nightlife

The Yawning Portal (1): Inn (3c•4p•3a) A well-known inn and tavern whose main feature is a massive well on the ground floor of the tavern, some 40 feet across, that descends 140 feet into the first level of Undermountain. There is a rope hoist that can be used to lower or raise those foolhardy enough to venture into Undermountain, at a cost of 1 gp per person. Includes a warehouse (1a).

The Empty Keg (3): Tavern (2c•2p) A rough-and-tumble beer-hall. Later in the eve, it often sees visits from some of the unattached ladies from Mother Salinka's next door, looking to lure some of the drinkers back to their boudoirs.
The Crow's Nest (6): Tavern (3c•2p) A modest but comfortable tavern; a favorite among the clerks, bureaucrats, and visitors of nearby Castle Waterdeep.
The Red-Eyed Owl (8): Tavern (3c•3p) A comfortable, unimpressive local ale-house that is a favorite of the average Waterdhavian locals, well-loved for its cheap ale and heavily spiced coast chowder.
The Sleepy Slyph (9): Tavern (4c•3p) A popular tavern for visitors to Waterdeep, featuring driftglobe lights and scantily clad waitstaff dressed as fairies.

Mother Salinka's House of Pleasure (2): Festhall (3c) A shabby, low-coin festhall.
The Blushing Nymph (7): Festhall (3c•3p) An upscale brothel known for its exotic pleasures.

The Metal House of Wonders (A): Dock Ward. Guildhall for the Splendid Order of Armorers, Locksmiths & Finesmiths.
