The Bee and Barb is in my opinion the best food establishment in all of Skyrim. It's got such a warm atmosphere, especially if you talk to the actual owner who you hardly talked to, and the fact that they have a selection of unique fancy drinks you can't get anywhere else makes them a cut above the rest. The reason their storage is a bit messy is probably due to being the busiest tavern in all of Skyrim and they don't have time to be meticulously tidy during the rush hour you visited them at.

9:07 I'd like to point out that the berry wreith is right above an open flame, and if they don't change out that wreith regularly, its probably as dry as kindling.

There are a couple more restaurants/inss in Skyrim, like my personal favorite, the Old Hroldan Inn.

I think basically all the remaining inns are the generic layout. So it's less interesting stuff. So I think it makes sense to move on now. Though there are a few notable ones left. Old Hroldan is supposed to be famous, Nightgate Inn has a pond and a wine cellar which I think is cool. I'm not too upset about ending it now, except that Dawnstar's worthless inn made it into the last episode instead of one of those two better ones. Fuck the Windpeak inn. All my homies go to Nightgate Inn.

As a long time fan of the Bee and Barb, I think you did them a disservice not trying one of Talen-Jei's drinks. A couple White-Gold Tower's deep, you'd really see the draw of the place. Keerava isn't usually that messy and curt, she was just getting slammed (everyone wants to eat at the same time, you know how it is). I hope you give them another shot on a less chaotic time of night, buy ya a cliff racer or two

Might be worth noting that storing the same goods in different locations is a primitive method of anti-cross contamination. For example, if one apple catches blight, it will very quickly spread to other apples nearby. So storing some apples on one shelf, and some on another, helps to save on spoiled goods.

You should hit up Oblivion's establishments as well! Hell, I'd love to see a full series on every food business throughout the Elder Scrolls franchise, but probably only as far back as Morrowind, as beyond that you get into severe technical limitations that would make most places probably suck.

It’s really nice to have some “everyday life thoughts” here and there throughout the restaurant inspection. Seems like the average inn owner in Skyrim can’t help this life anymore. Like most of them have some dream life that couldn’t be pursued and now must serve drunk guests, soulless workers and rarely stump upon some adventurers, living the dream, until they get an arrow in the knee and settle as a guard or something else. Really depressing, even so for a world bursting with magic and breathtaking landscapes.

Good potential for more "accidental" brothel visits as well. (Although I'm pretty sure that bunkhouse wasn't a brothel).

Having the jumpcut of the audio match the jumpcut of the gameplay, even when nothing onscreen is happening, is such a good touch. Adds the sense of you living in the game. Others would just splice the audio but leave the game running

Well, we know they make good sweet rolls atleast, because people KEEP FUCKIGN STEALING THEM

I recommend heading over to the Boston Commonwealth. Even after 200 years of war and horror the great capitalist dream preserves. With fine eating establishments such as Power Noodles, Trudy’s Diner, and of corse The Third Rail you’re sure to find some place to take a load off and find a moment of respite.

Something I’ll say about your comment on the attitude of the guy running the Windpeak Inn is that’s it’s also a bar in a fairly rural area, having a bit of banter isn’t unusual and is often desired. It would be different if this were some nice restaurant or something, but I think the context here matters, while functioning as an Inn, it’s where fishermen and miner go to unwind at the end of the day

Can't believe the host degraded an Argonian by calling them a lizard. They need to reflect on the mistakes made in these restaurant reviews and make a public apology video.

It is a shame that you didn't mention the special drinks on offer in the Bee and Barb. I think that was a positive that was overshadowed.

Presenting this as a travelogue was a great touch, loved it.

Witcher 3, Oblivion and BOTW/TOTK all have unique food establishments that could make for some fun future episodes. Really enjoying all your content and edits!

Lost it at the roller coaster tycoon scene 😂😂😂

Drunken Sabercat is fun. its in Fort Dunstad. It has some unique decor

loved the editing on this!! also banger video as usual

Hey Austin! Idea for a video: Rank the inns in BotW in a similar manner you are doing here, but as we have a direct sequel in TotK, you could see how the businesses changed over the years!

Mead with extra bread? We call that "Guinness" sir.

New Gnisis is a typical example of an immigrant owned business. Building is old, could be cleaner, but functions as a hub for members of said immigrant/refugee population.

It's funny how upon entering the last tavern, Any went into full Dagoth Ur mode.

Just want to say I appreciate the little travel show -esque setups you do for each place, they’re written and edited well

u should put the restaurant reviews in a playlist so I can share the whole series with people 💖

You’re making some of the best KZread content. Thank you for entertaining me.

I love how much damage is caused by the weird glitchy collision on objects making them end up in weird places XD

Thank you for returning to this series!

regarding the disorganized produce at the storage room of the bee and barb; It's quite possible they were separated due to different ages. Rotating newer/older products on two separate shelves to use the new first.

Would love to see a tour of the bioshock series' various eateries. Might have to focus solely on the atmosphere and ignore the waitstaff criteria unfortunately.

The silent zoom in on the overturned bucket in dawnstar killed me zhzhdn

So glad that my favorite inn became a favorite. The first time I encountered Frostfruit Inn was durin' a rough time as a newbie Dovahkiin and dyin' multiple times or bein' chased by strong enemies. I ran in there and was immediately amazed by the inn. It was much difference than what I've seen in the most popular places. It was such a rewardin' feelin' the moment I entered the place and sad there's not really an ambience video of it. Glad to see it appreciated and acknowledged.

The Hitman trilogy has a lot of different restaurants and bars to visit, and it's always a treat to spend some time absorbing the atmosphere of each of the places. I think it's a great candidate for future restaurant review series.

I gotta say there is definitely potential for another episode, there is plenty of small places you haven’t visited like kynesgrove, old hraldon which has a unique thing to it, even riverwood was missed, almost forgot dragon bridge, you get the idea you could even stop in solstiem for the retching netch, also if you look into it helgas bunkhouse is a sex area go into her room and read the note on the counter
