The Drunk Tulip

The Drunk Tulip opened twenty-two years ago when Marcellin Voss left court life after a scandal of misplaced letters and betting debts. He reimagined a noble house into a place where the city's refined and its shadowed visitors could meet under a veneer of civility. Over the years the tavern became known as a place where favors were brokered over excellent wine and where a single tulip-shaped brooch could gain someone an audience with a minor lord.

History

The Drunk Tulip opened twenty-two years ago when Marcellin Voss left court life after a scandal of misplaced letters and betting debts. He reimagined a noble house into a place where the city's refined and its shadowed visitors could meet under a veneer of civility. Over the years the tavern became known as a place where favors were brokered over excellent wine and where a single tulip-shaped brooch could gain someone an audience with a minor lord.

Quirks

The Drunk Tulip enforces an odd rule: patrons arriving with muddy boots are offered a free cup of hot spiced cider—but only if they hum a tune while removing their boots. Marcellin prizes atmosphere and ceremony; brawls are quietly escorted out and replaced with a perfumed spritz to 'restore dignity.'

Lore

Old city whispers say the tavern sits on the edge of an ancient nobles' garden, one of whose tulip beds was tended by an exiled herbalist who brewed potions into the soil. Some believe that the tulip motif brings luck to lovers and ruin to the greedy; others say a song sung under the tavern's eaves can coax secrets from even the most locked chest. The locked bottle in the cellar is a recurring symbol in city gossip—some swear tasting it heals a broken heart, others that it curses those who share it without proper ceremony.
