11Overview22Taverns are social hubs found in towns and settlements throughout Pywel. Each tavern is staffed by a merchant who sells food, drink, basic supplies, and in some cases exclusive cooking recipes and Food Supply Contracts. Beyond shopping, taverns are the locations where Kliff can gather information from locals, accept side quests, interact with NPCs, and participate in mini-games such as the Tavern Card Game and arm wrestling.44There are 9 named tavern merchants across Pywel. Most taverns carry a core selection of staple items at fixed prices: Small Bag (50 silver), Water (3 silver), and Bread (6 silver) are universally available. Beer (10 silver) and a range of prepared foods and raw ingredients round out the standard stock. Specialty taverns in larger settlements or at key story locations additionally carry Food Supply Contracts and unique recipes not available elsewhere.66The Stargazers' Tavern name is shared by three separate establishments in different locations, each run by a different merchant. The two generic taverns are similarly distinct locations that happen to share the same name.88Tavern Locations1010The table below lists all 9 tavern merchants, the name of the establishment they staff, the number of items they carry, and the region or settlement where they are found.1212Tavern NameMerchantItemsNotable StockBeighen Tribe TavernVivian15Small Bag, Water, Bread, Beer, food, recipesDemeniss TavernLinda17Food Supply Contract, Recipe: Salt-Roasted Bird Meat, Recipe: Seafood SoupHouse Grace TavernAgnes15Food, drinkStargazers' TavernRosalind15Small Bag, Water, Bread, Beer, foodStargazers' TavernLucetta17Small Bag, Water, Bread, Beer, recipesStargazers' TavernOswald15Small Bag, Water, Bread, Beer, foodTavernAnnabeth15Small Bag, Water, Bread, Beer, foodTavernRosalind15Small Bag, Water, Bread, Beer, foodVarnia TavernRosalind17Small Bag, Water, Bread, Beer, recipes1414Common Tavern Items1515The following items are sold by most or all tavern merchants at consistent prices.

Merchant Vivian stocks 15 items covering the full range of standard tavern fare including Small Bag, Water, Bread, Beer, prepared food items, and basic cooking recipes. The Beighen region is accessible in the early chapters of the game, making this one of the first taverns Kliff can visit.2222Demeniss Tavern2424Found in the settlement of Demeniss, this is one of the more specialized taverns in Pywel. Merchant Linda carries 17 items and is one of the few tavern vendors to sell Food Supply Contracts. She also stocks two exclusive recipes: Recipe: Salt-Roasted Bird Meat and Recipe: Seafood Soup. Players focused on cooking and food buff preparation should make a point of visiting Linda early to pick up these recipes.2626Food Supply Contracts are a recurring commodity at select taverns. They represent bulk food deals that can be used in crafting or quest-related activities. Linda is one of the primary sources for this item in the Demeniss region.2828House Grace Tavern3030House Grace Tavern is run by merchant Agnes, who carries 15 items focused on food and drink. The tavern is associated with the House Grace noble family and serves as a local gathering spot in its settlement. Agnes's inventory follows the standard tavern template with food consumables and basic drinks suitable for restoring stamina and health during exploration.31+House Grace Tavern is run by merchant Agnes, who carries 15 items focused on food and drink.

Each is a distinct location with its own merchant and slightly different inventory. Players may encounter the first Stargazers' Tavern early in the game and find the others as they explore further into new territories.3636Stargazers' Tavern (Rosalind)3838Run by merchant Rosalind, this Stargazers' Tavern carries 15 items including the core set of Small Bag, Water, Bread, and Beer alongside a selection of food consumables.4040Stargazers' Tavern (Lucetta)4242Staffed by merchant Lucetta, this Stargazers' Tavern has the largest inventory of the three at 17 items. In addition to standard supplies, Lucetta carries cooking recipes not found at the Rosalind or Oswald branches.4444Stargazers' Tavern (Oswald)4646The third Stargazers' Tavern is run by Oswald and carries 15 items with a standard mix of food and drink. Oswald's location is in a different region from the other two branches, providing convenient access to tavern staples while exploring that area.4848Generic Taverns (Annabeth and Rosalind)5050Two establishments in Pywel share the generic name "Tavern" without a settlement qualifier. Merchant Annabeth and a second merchant named Rosalind each staff one of these locations. Both carry 15 items focused on food and drink essentials. Despite their plain names, these taverns function identically to the named ones and are worth stopping at for restocking consumables while passing through their respective areas.5252Varnia Tavern5454Located in Varnia, this tavern is staffed by merchant Rosalind and carries 17 items, making it one of the larger tavern inventories in the game. Like the Demeniss Tavern, the Varnia Tavern stocks cooking recipes beyond the basic staples, giving players in the Varnia region access to useful recipe unlocks without needing to travel back to earlier areas.5656Varnia is a significant settlement in Crimson Desert's story progression, and its tavern reflects that importance by offering a broader stock than the typical 15-item tavern found in smaller settlements.5858Food Supply Contracts6060Food Supply Contracts are a notable item sold at select taverns, including the Demeniss tavern run by Linda. These contracts represent pre-arranged food provisions and may be required for certain quests, crafting systems, or economic activities tied to settlement management. Not every tavern carries them, so players who need a supply contract should check the Demeniss and other larger-inventory taverns first.6262Mini-Games and Social Activities6464Taverns serve purposes beyond shopping. They are the primary venues for Kliff to sit down and challenge NPC opponents to the Tavern Card Game. This card-based mini-game is one of several coin gambling and table games available in Crimson Desert alongside arm wrestling, horseback racing, and target shooting. Look for tables inside any tavern building where an NPC opponent is seated.6666Taverns are also key locations for gathering information and story progression. Talking to patrons and the barkeep often reveals rumors, leads on side quests, and context about nearby events. Some story beats require visiting specific taverns to meet characters or overhear conversations.6868Tips7070Stock up on Water and Bread. These two staples cost only 3 and 6 silver respectively and are used in many cooking recipes. Buying a large supply at any tavern is a cheap way to keep your ingredient stock full.Visit Linda in Demeniss early for recipes.
