the hog's head
The Hog's Head is known for being the kind of disreputable establishment that the shady type like to frequent. Due to the shadiness of the place, it is somewhat a sense of fashion for the customers to keep their faces hidden. The bar in the Hog’s Head is small and extraordinarily dirty and strewn with sawdust, with the windows nearly opaque and the floor all but invisible beneath the dirt. There is an “ancient wooden till” behind the bar that serves as a cash register, and the entire room smells strongly of “something that might have been goats.” Even the rags behind the bar seem filthy. Behind the bar is a “rickety wooden staircase” leading up to a sitting room that serves as an open area between the guest rooms, with a fireplace and a curtained window looking down at the street. The guest rooms themselves are located above the bar and, like the bar itself, are not noted for being especially clean.
