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 Duke Belynne Stelmane's murder. The party can ask Alan Alyth about the 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. While resting in this room, supplies can be purchased from the Dumbwaiter. Obtaining a room awards the 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 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  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 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 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 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 check allows the party to commandeer the entire penthouse suite for free.

Roof

A roof-top area is accessible through a ladder and hatch on the first floor. On the roof it is possible to find Alfira.
