The Sky Blue Jug
A two-story timber structure that was once painted a brilliant cerulean, though decades of salt-spray and wind have weathered it to a pale, peeling grey-blue. The shutters are intricately carved into the shapes of gulls and petrels, and a large copper jug hangs above the door, polished to a mirror finish that contrasts with the faded wood.
The Sky Blue Jug
The air inside is thick with the scent of dried lavender and salted fish. It feels like a place where logic is suspended for the duration of a pint, filled with the soft clinking of glass and the low, musical humming of the local patrons.

History
Specialty Libations
The tavern is famous for 'The Glimmering Ale,' a light brew that causes the drinker's eyes to glow a soft gold for one hour. They also serve 'Deep-Sea Mead,' which is chilled by a small, permanent chunk of enchanted ice at the bottom of the cask.
Entertainment and Tradition
Every Wealday night, Barnaby hosts a riddle contest where the winner drinks for free. The walls are covered in small wooden tokens carved by guests: if a token falls off the wall, it is said that the person who carved it has just passed away or found a great fortune.
Accommodations
The three guest rooms upstairs are named 'The Cloud,' 'The Wave,' and 'The Nest.' Each is decorated with vibrant, hand-sewn quilts that depict various constellations relevant to travelers and sailors in the Inner Sea region.
