The Captain's Cup, Entry

[The Captain's Cup, Entry] Room: 7118348, RNUM: 29012
The shallow entryway unfolds into a plush sitting area that seems more elegant state room than pub. Floors and walls of varnished mahogany gleam darkly beneath the flickering candles set within a pair of lofty chandeliers, and the air is filled with the scent of high-priced cigars and vintage spirits. A sepia-toned globe guards a set of upward steps at the far end of the bar, and across the way, a curved brass handrail follows a stairway upward into the darkness.

Carved mahogany frames the ceiling above, with an elaborate maritime mural spanning the entirety of the space within. Wine-hued velvet hangs in scallops at the upper edges of the walls, while cherry wood wainscoting trims the lower half in a subtle, but stylish contrast to the mahogany walls. A half-circle counter at the head of the room boasts a display showcasing a variety of glasses, and dark leather-cushioned chairs and side tables are spread throughout the lounge. You also see a brass-railed stairway.

The Captain's Cup, Top Shelf

Directions: up the steps from Entry

[The Captain's Cup, Top Shelf] Room: 7118349
Pendulum lamps with jewel-toned stained glass shades hang above the bar, illuminating the cherry wood and highlighting clusters of drink accoutrements, such as embossed coasters, napkins, and extra garnishes. Swags of wine-hued velvet drape the ceiling and upper walls, subduing sound as well as the light from the candelabra scattered about. The effect is close and intimate, with a pair of suede-covered couches and several upholstered chairs arranged around a modest fireplace with a stone hearth. You also see a set of downward steps.
