There are soooo many pubs and taverns in the game, pretty sure there’s at least 1 in every major city. Divinity’s Reach has sooo many (all humans are obviously alcoholics); The Grove has 1 major bar; Hoelbrak is all about that booze; Black Citadel…is just lame and Charr only know how to kill each other; and Lion’s Arch has one nice tavern (the boat tavern) I know of where the Order of Whispers thing is.
There just really isn’t any reason to go to these chill places, which would be cool.
