The Salty Dog Tavern

The Salty Dog Tavern is an exclusive captains-only tavern that has a secret location known only to its patrons. However, it's rumored to be a few dozen nautical miles away from Port Crunk, in international waters.

## Creation

The Salty Dog Tavern was created when it's founder and current head bartender Jacque Noir, decided to retire from his life of piracy. He had been quite successful at it, and in many regards paved ways for later pirates, but he believed there needed to be a place where men of the sea can put aside their differences and enjoy a cold drink.

## Features

The Salty Dog Tavern is meant to not just serve good drinks, but to be a place captains can relax or play games. In addition to a fully stocked bar, The Salty Dog Tavern sports many features one wouldn't necessarily expect in such an establishment. Firstly, there is a reading room with a mandatory volume limit underwater, with large glass windows to see ocean life. There is a fairly large games room as well that has a pool table, ping pong table, pinball machine, a couple arcade games, and a claw machine (out of order). For more discerning (and often older) patrons there is a back room connected to the bar that also has a volume limit as well. This room is nicknamed the VIP room based on it's classier nature, but it's really open to anyone. Smoking is allowed in this room, as well as low-stakes gambling (Jacque believes high-stakes gambling could escalate quickly and detract from the camaraderie).

The Salty Dog Tavern has only a handful of rules;

1. Only Captains are allowed. If, such as in the case of the New Crunk City Navy, an individual has a rank higher than that of a captain, they too are allowed.
2. The location of The Salty Dog Tavern must not be revealed to any non-captains.
3. Disputes among rival patrons are to be set aside on the premises. In fact, it is encouraged that captains from all walks of life make an attempt to be cordial to one another.
4. Excessive drinking (to the point of rowdiness) is only allowed in designated sections of the bar.
5. Finally, any non captain (or higher ranking) individual found to be in The Salty Dog Tavern will be shot out of a comically large cannon.

## Events/Offerings

The Salty Dog Tavern is also known for hosting several events, such as Bingo Monday, Trivia Tuesdays, Grog Fridays, and Story Swap Saturdays. It is also here that one can enjoy a completely exclusive drink, Captain's Grog (a brew much tastier than it's name would suggest). Served in a special mug bearing the bar logo, this brew is supplied by Joseph Caldritch & Bros. Brewing Company to only be served at The Salty Dog Tavern.

They are also known for their signature dish, The Salty Dog, which is a sausage dish that heavily relies on sea salt. It's not really that good, but nobody really says it to Jacque's face. Hes not a really good cook.

While rule 3 is a standing rule, it does specify that any disputes cannot take place on the premises. This allows for sanctioned duels to take place on a specialized platform disconnected to the tavern. On this platform, Jacque has all involved parties sign a liability waiver and verbally agree to doing it.

Organized duels between parties take place every second friday of each month.
