Burning Anvil Tavern
The Burning Anvil Tavern is one of the best taverns at the edge of the slums. Offering drinks, food, and games to entertain the hard working people of Salire. Even those from other districts flock to the tavern for some of the famous meals and drinks that can only be found there.
The Tavern is one of the best looking buildings at the edge of the slums. A Redish building that has a few anvils placed around the outside to give it a nice look. Inside their are different weapons and tools that either were used for forging or forged themselves. Theirs even a forge built inside to aid in heating the place and giving it the right look of a workshop.
Here games like poker and darts are played while someone plays the piano. If your lucky you will be their a day when the famous singer Julia sings one of her heartfelt songs.
I remember when the new owner took over the rundown tavern that was there before. She had her work cutout for her turning that shack of a place into the hot spot it is today. Didn't help that some of the gangs wanted to get a cut of the action. Luckily she had a charm about her that convinced some freelancers to stick their neck out for her. Though she made sure to take care of those brave folks and the next ones to take the mantle of freelancer. - An old Freelancer

Alterations
The tavern has been remodeled many times from the run down building it once was to the hip spot of today. When the Tavern first opened up it took awhile for the owner to find the right look and theme for the place. Slowing get closer to a place that fit the name she gave it when she first opened up.
Architecture
It uses combination of wooden frames and brick walls. It has also been reinforced with some iron plates to give it a look of a black smiths forge. The walls are a nice red that draws the eyes to the building. With a roof made with iron plates to protect it from the elements and to aid in keeping the heat in.
History
Long ago the tavern was just a run down building till a young entrepreneur bought it. It had a bit of history to it during the second decedent war, but it fell to hard times as the area got worse. Well this young woman wanted to take this shell of a place and make it successful again. She started off small just making sure it was clean enough to get people drinking.
Eventually she started providing some of the best food she could make thanks to some recipes she started putting together. Eventually she lucked up with talent in the name of Julia. Which really brought them in. Though she had some struggles, with some help she was able to make the tavern the best around the city.
Tourism
The tavern has some of the best drinks and food in all of Salire. This brings people from all over Salire and the frozen waste to enjoy their time here. Even some of the Presari who visit the city always stop in the Tavern for a chance at a good time.
New owner of Old Tavern
There's a new owner of the old tavern on Sapphire Ave. Not much is known about them, outside of them seeming to begin a complete overhaul of the place.
