- It's the only bar that serves real ale.
- It's the only bar that stays open late.
- It's really a training ground of a benign force who uses it to select characters to save the world in the 3rd Year Goodbye, so the characters have no choice in going there.
- All of the characters are really masochists and enjoy being attacked by demons and undead.
- Except Sarah, who went because it's the best place to find a cuddly bastite/pyrokin/hydrokin/dark mage.
- The characters are all ta'veren, and so if one goes the rest are pulled there by the pattern
- Some of us are getting paid to keep it standing.
- It's the only bar in Grantabrugge that doesn't have strict race/guild laws about entry
- Some of the characters have been barred from every other bar in town
- Judging by the bar Sesqui and Darien found themselves in last time, it's the only salubrious place in town
- It's the Friday Night headquarters of the Traders Union!
- The trouble will follow the characters no matter which bar they go to.
