Nothing less than
notoriety follows anyone who enters this rough and
tumble establishment. Only the meanest, toughest
or most naïve individuals of the quarter enter this
pub, the latter are summarily thrown out. In here,
staring at a person for too long can prematurely
end your life. The regular patrons who know each
other are keen to identify standouts. Others use the
Shiv to meet with would-be assassins or brokers of
the forbidden.
