Tavern keeper
v53.16 · v0.47.05 This article is about the current version of DF.Note that some content may still need to be updated. |
Tavern keepers are an assigned occupation at taverns. They can be assigned in a tavern, which can be accessed though Locations submenu in 
P Places menu, and will serve drinks to visitors in tavern locations. At the moment, there is no charge for drinks, but this may be changed in the future with the reintroduction of the dwarven economy.
Graphically, they will appear in all black clothing when displaying worn clothing dyes is turned off. Assigning a tavern keeper enables visitors to share rumors when served a drink.
Tavern Service[edit]
Placing a chest within a tavern will store goblets (according to the zone's details settings) and reserve them for the use of the tavern keepers. Booze stockpiled within a tavern zone will be served with stored goblets to dwarves and visitors by tavern keepers given the "Fulfill Service Order" job. When tavern keepers serve a visitor, rumors may be exchanged between them.
Tavern keepers can be useful to keep your dwarves' need for alcohol satisfied, which can be especially helpful if one loses the ability to satisfy it themself (such as by becoming a night creature).
In previous versions of the game, assigning multiple tavern keepers would result in all of them individually serving a separate drink to anyone who ordered one, often resulting in death by alcohol poisoning, even in dwarves. In the current version, this has been fixed, and other safeguards have been added, such as tavern keepers having the ability (based on their personality) to refuse to serve already drunk patrons.v53.16
In Adventure mode, rather than buying drinks as they would trade for any other item, the player can request a drink after selecting the "Ask about available services, drinks, rooms, etc." option while speaking with a tavern keeper and pay however much they owe later at their leisure through the "Trade or settle debts" dialogue option.
