Elfsong Tavern Basement
In the kitchens is a set of stairs which lead down to the basement where dozens of rats 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 .
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 Packs for long resting can be purchased from the Dumbwaiter at night.

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 Mariya Anastasova , which hint at the plot of Baldur's Gate 3 and the ultimate fate of Balduran, can be found in
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."
