Here is a list of specific establishments that have been mentioned thus far ICly. If your character offers a service or owns a business that you would like listed, or if someone has given a random place a name (i.e. naming the tavern a character is going to rather than just saying they're going to a tavern), PM me with the info and I'll add it. If you can edit this post yourself, less work for me. ;D
Now with moar tables! (But no cowbell, sorry.)
Ranking is basically how high-end/expensive a place is. I'm using it primarily for inns, taverns, and restaurants, but you can get a feel for what another kind of place may be like with a certain rank. It basically goes like this:
*--Very cheap, and you get what you pay for.
Inns and taverns with this rank are usually dirty. You could end up with lice or fleas from sleeping in the beds, and really, you'll stay cleaner if you DON'T use their washbasins. The food is suspect. If you want to eat, go ahead, but the less you know about the food's origin and how the it's prepared, the better. Remember, you get what you pay for, not what it's advertised as. (Just what kind of meat is in that pie, anyway?)
**--Still on the cheap side, but sanitary conditions are better. The place may not be much to look at and may have dirt here and there, but it's generally "just good, clean dirt" as they say. The drinks may be watered down, and the soup more broth than meat and veggies, but it's pretty much safe to eat.
***--Average. Not too pricey for some peasants, and not too cheap for some of the local higher-ups to deign to come visit. Neat and clean, if not elaborate. These places have simple, hearty food, good drink, clean linens, and comfortable beds.
****--These places are a bit more expensive than what your common Narutan will want to pay, but the price is generally worth the service. These attractively decorated inns often include extra amenities, and the beds are softer and have better quality linens than are strictly necessary. Food and drink ranges from just better versions of what you may find in an average establishment to dishes made with rarer, more expensive ingredients, such as an ocean shellfish dish in Ilyamen or Reave.
*****--The favoured haunts of nobles and rich merchants, these places will put a sizable dent in a common--middle class citizen's purse. Some are simply establishments with 4-star quality and inflated prices, while others are truly worth the high cost. Decor is often elegant and elaborate and the food and services offered are of the highest quality.
