'''Elfsong Tavern''' is a tavern [[location|located]] in the [[Lower City]] of [[Baldur's Gate]] in [[Act Three]]. 
==Overview==
The tavern is located north-west of [[Stormshore Tabernacle]] and the Basilisk Gate [[waypoint]].

== Locations ==
=== Related locations ===
* [[Lower City]]
* [[Knights of the Shield Hideout]]

=== Ground floor===
In the main area of the Elfsong tavern are many patrons and staff, possibly including [[Lakrissa]]. 

The tavern has also been the scene of [[Stelmane|Duke Belynne Stelmane]]'s murder. The party can ask [[Alan Alyth]] about the [[Investigate the Murders|Bhaalist murders]] taking place around town. Afterward, they can choose to rent rooms on the second floor, which serve as the party's [[camp]] while in the Lower City. Obtaining a room awards the [[File:Inspiration Icon.png|24px|link=]][[Inspiration|Inspirational Events]]: '''For Once, a Warm Meal''' ([[Outlander]] background), '''Veteran's Hotspot''' ([[Soldier]] background), '''Proper Lodging, Finally''' ([[Urchin]] background) and '''Perks of the Trade''' if a rebate was gained ([[Charlatan]] background).

[[The Emperor]] will encourage you to [[Visit the Emperor's Old Hideout|investigate his old hideout]] in the basement. 

[[Gherva Minedale]] and [[Stug Minedale]] are dwarf siblings with a disagreement over Stug's kneecapping job. 

==== Kitchen ====
In the northern end of the tavern is the kitchen, where [[Chef Roveer]], one of the Bhaalist murder targets, can be informed of his imminent murder. Speaking with him will start the quest [[Roveer's Storehouse]] to kill the rats in the storehouse under the kitchen.

Two cats in the kitchen, [[Tambourine]] and [[Zambomba]] can also be found dozing off. If spoken to with {{SAI|Speak with Animals}}, they will also ask the player to clear the rats.

====Laff Riot====
A room where [[Harvard Willoughby]] is hosting the ''Laff Riot'' can be found off to the side. The player can join in and try to win. Players with the [[Entertainer]] background can gain the [[File:Inspiration Icon.png|24px|link=]][[Inspiration|Inspirational Event]] '''A Stand-Up Adventurer''' if they win the comedy contest or '''At Least They Didn't Throw Overripe Bananas...''' if they lose.

====Elfsong Tavern Basement====
In the kitchens is a set of stairs which lead down to the basement where dozens of [[rat]]s are skittering about.

The party can find a hidden switch along the wine racks which will open a wine barrel leading down to the [[Knights of the Shield Hideout]].

=== First floor ===
====Stelmane's Private Room====
Up the stairs from the tavern, Stelmane's room can be investigated as part of the quest [[Investigate the Murders]].

====Rented Rooms====
A set of rooms on the first floor can be rented out by speaking to the owner. After renting them, these rooms will become the new camp location while anywhere in the [[Lower City]] or [[Lower City Sewers]]. [[Alan Alyth]] normally charges 200 gold for the rental, but passing a Persuasion or Perception check allows the party to commandeer the entire penthouse suite for free.

While camping in these rented rooms, [[Supply Pack]]s for long resting can be purchased from the [[Dumbwaiter]] at night.

=== Roof ===
A roof-top area is accessible through a ladder and hatch on the second floor. On the roof it is possible to find [[Alfira]].

==Notes==
* The tabletop D&D adventure ''Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus'' includes a description of the Elfsong Tavern, and explains the origin of its name: the tavern is haunted by the spirit of a long-dead female Elf who occasionally serenades the patrons. This is likely the voice heard singing ''Song of Balduran'' in the "camp" area upstairs.
* The lyrics of the song, sung by [https://www.imdb.com/name/nm15155521/ Mariya Anastasova] , which hint at the plot of ''Baldur's Gate 3'' and the ultimate fate of [[Balduran]], can be found in [[The Elf Song|a book]] in a desk in the rented rooms upstairs.
* When approaching Stelmane's room on the upper floor, [[The Emperor]] will have the following ambient commentary: ''"Stelmane's parlour - a place to receive clients and informants. I wonder if it's as I remember it."''
