A tavern is a drinking establishment where all manner of drink, food and entertainment are available – always providing that the money is forthcoming!

Drink is one of the solace’s of a long working day. There are, of course, religious and social taboos about getting drunk, but these rarely bother tavern owners or their customers! A tavern provides a place to drink cheaply, pick up the local news, gossip, gamble (cockfighting is a popular pastime) and generally have a few hours respite from the day’s labour. It is often the “other” centre of a community, where the real business of running a town goes on, well away from official interference.

A tavern is distinguished from an inn because it does not offer overnight accommodation, although rooms for private functions – and discreet entertainment of an intimate or personal nature – may well be part of the service.
