For me, this is a really hard decision.

Personally I love the Bannered Mare, Silver-Blood Inn, and Candlehearth Hall. For the sake of the poll, I'll say that as of now Candlehearth Hall is my favourite tavern in Skyrim.

Hagrid wishes Elda sold more http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYnaPoh3pZs mind you.

So kinsmen, where do you like to get drunk?

The bannered mare is where I get drunk.

I like it cause the house isn't to far.. can stagger all the way home *hic*....

Bee and Barb, New Gnisis Cornerclub, and the Retching Netch.

That's Morrowind.

Sorry, I've got my smartarse hat on. lol.

The Retching Netch, The Stumbling Sabrecat, and the Four Shields Tavern.

Fort Dawnguard is the ultimate party mansion.

Dead Man's Drink is alright, though the whole scene over there is quite . . . dead.

Silver-blood Inn because: The Kleppers!

This.

On the road - The Sleeping Giant Inn in Riverwood. Nice and cosy little place sorely-needed by anyone travelling between Falkreath and Whiterun.

The Bannered Mare - Nothing all together special, but I've been there so long it feels like home.

The Retching Netch - Besides my deep love for the Dunmeri people (I have a Dunmeri wife... even though I forget her name...) the island of Solstheim can be a lonely and scary place, on the frontier of Tamriel, all but forgotten by the mainland. However, the Retching Netch is one small area of respite, where a man can find good drinks, good beds and good company. Nothing better than kicking back, wiping the ash off your armour and enjoying a good pint of Sujamma.

Drunken Huntsman

Silver-Blood Inn. It's great to wake up and smell the marital discord.

Since installing the http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=200602183 mod, I have been spending MUCH more time in taverns (Weird... no longer on nexus, but only steam, now.)

Old Hroldan is my favorite because of the

That being said, I do enjoy the "bigger" inns in the cities for the conversations you hear while hanging out there

The Bannered Mare, followed closely by Candlehearth Hall.

Hear, hear!

The taverns of today are unfit for royalty such as myself. And I hear the nord's mead is cheap and low quality these days. They should be ashamed of themselves. They can't even hold on to old Atmoran distillation practices.

This is really hard indeed... I have to say right off the bat that I don't have an instant favorite. Then, let's begin the random pondering!

Actually, Nightgate Inn has proven to be a nice place for me. I've seen that Wandering Bard, the Wanderer (forgot his name) there twice, and both times I've requested a song from him. I've done that very rarely even when I see him out in the wilderness, even though that voice actor has either my second or most favorite voice of any bards in the game. None is miraculous, but few are good enough, and that guy's one of them. Anyway, those have felt like some V.I.P. concerts to me and that one other customer residing there! There's something sympathetic in that place anyway... maybe it's the remote location, and the owner's balls to run an inn in a place like that.

The Bee and the Barb. Riften is basically the hometown of Hides-Swift-Strikes, the other of my two main characters with most hours in, and he's the one who occasionally visits any taverns at all. A good place. Although a thief and an assassin, Hides is still very compassionate for his fellow Argonians and their position in Skyrim. He's always looking to help his marsh-friends - if their needs don't cross those of the TG and especially the Night Mother. The Inn is owned bu such friends.

The Inn also used to be a great place to troll (pickpocket etc.) that [censored], Maven, who thinks so highly of herself. She thinks she owns the TG and DB. Heck, she doesn't even seem to know that Hides is the new head for both of them, and he couldn't be more disrespectful as he doesn't like Maven's attitude. Now who has connections and who doesn't? Why are Maven's belongings constantly disappearing without notice? Is there some rogue thief always robbing her, why isn't the Thieves Guild doing anything...? Haha, she doesn't know [censored], she still thinks her rules count something. She shouldn't have been so nosy to Hides in the first place; now she's paying for it, and she doesn't even know it, since Hides is just too good a thief to be ever caught in robbing from his best client! Some bold old school Bal-Molagmer / Robin Hood stuff over there, the stuff Thieves Guild is famous for!

I said "used to be a great place to troll Maven". Well, not anymore, as she's the Jarl now. Let her be. It's so nice to have a puppet ruler, especially as the ruler seems to think she's not a puppet at all! What a perfect grasp Hides has over The Rift!

The Candlehearth Hall. Nice bit of lore in the name (overall there should be even more details like this!), and it's the Inn my Stormcloak-Dragonborn Asmund Stone-Singer frequents. The 3rd-4th most played character of mine, and the only one who often visits any Inn in the first place.

So I'm kind of undecided between those. The one in Riverwood also has a special nostalgic place in my heart, since the start of the game really impressed me on 11/11/11!

Why not drink at the Drunken Hunstman right across the street from your house? It's funny how most people, including Hagrid, overlook that place even though a sixy Dunmer ranger calls it home

I like the Bannered Mare but I will have to go with Old Hroldan Inn as I get to pass out in Tiber Septims old room

Because *hic* My main drinking buddy is in there *hic* sham Guevenne *hic*

The Vilemyr Inn because I like the associated quests and Wilhelm is a friendly sort of guy. It's a cozy place to stay while visiting High Hrothgar.

sixy Dunmer ranger? I'm not into men Harry.

Damn Hagrid, you made me lol so hard that my juice is all over my laptop

ha I've never seen him drink anywhere else, perhaps he fancies that handsome Nord woman who drinks alone in the corner

This is even better when read in Hagrids voice ha

Blimey! You meant Jenassa! Merlin's beard, I honestly thought you meant Elrindir!

Pfffft XD
