Description:Sharing space with the inn next door, the village tavern is a spacious taproom littered with trestle tables, benches, and occasional handmade chairs. Drinks are served from the bar running between the entrance and the cellar stairs, while food can be ordered from the inn's kitchens, brought to patrons by the tavern's serving staff. The place is usually lively in the evenings, as folk gather there to wash away the day's labors with locally-made wine and imported beer.
Prices:As common inn (actual quality: good); meals 1sp/each
Ale or beer 4cp (tankard)/2sp (pitcher)
Wine 2sp (bottle)

Currently Freehold's only tavern or restaurant (the cafe of the Black Orchid notwithstanding), Vio's was founded and continues to be owned and operated by Vio Belc, one of the original settlers. Since he is the only brewer or distiller in the village, his venue is understandably popular, though the resources are at hand to make only pale ale, small beer, and blackberry wine; other drinks and liquors must so far be imported.

Vio's employed Starla Kingshand for a time as a serving girl, until she left to pursue an apprenticeship with Shara Graye during the first annual Harvest Festival in Nightal 1373DR. Now the young gold dwarf Sivhet Heavyhand, daughter of a local blacksmith, works there and is studying to become a brewmistress, herself.
