Gralkyn's Tankard

A true oddity, the Tankard is a two-story tavern built in the very lap of the Great Drunkard, one of the Walking Statues.

Resting comfortably at the northern end of the Castle Ward, the tavern is appropriately shaped for its namesake. Initially, uneven and deformed wooden planks shaped an unnecessarily long winding path to the tavern in order to simulate a drunken experience for its patrons. However, after a few mishaps, the city of Waterdeep enacted laws to install railings and level platforms to the establishment.

Though the tavern does not serve any unique type of food or beverage, Gralkyn’s Tankard remains one of the highest visited tourist traps in the city of Waterdeep.
