History
Antiquity
In Greece during the 5th century BCE, taverns tended to be dedicated to the Greek god of wine and grapes, Dionysos, and feature a statue of him. During her travels, the misthios Kassandra visited a number of taverns in various Greek cities and settlements.[1]
Taverns were also a common sight in Egypt during the final decades of the Ptolemaic dynasty. The Medjay Bayek of Siwa visited a number of such establishments during his hunt of the Order of the Ancients.[2]
Middle Ages
In 824, a group of mercenaries recruited by the Hidden One Fuladh Al Haami met at a tavern in Fustat, Egypt, where they discussed details of their upcoming mission to recover a case from the Martyrs of Agaunum.[3]
In the late 9th century, the Viking shieldmaiden Eivor Varinsdottir visited several taverns during her travels throughout England[4] and Francia.[5] Around this time, the Hidden Ones established a bureau in Lunden, which they disguised as a tavern called the Hawk's Nest.[6]
Renaissance
During his time in Rome in the early 16th century, the Assassin Ezio Auditore helped the Roman Thieves Guild set up their main base of operations by renovating the tavern La Volpe Addormentata.[7]
Golden Age of Piracy
To gain access to a tavern in the Caribbean during the Golden Age of Piracy, Edward Kenway had to prove himself by fighting off the aggressive local patrons. By bribing the bartender, he could receive information on naval convoys and treasure maps, as well as recruit crew members for the Jackdaw. Edward also frequented the Old Avery in Nassau, a popular meeting spot for the city's resident pirates, while his hideout in Great Inagua featured its own tavern.[8]
During his later travels in Southeast Asia, Edward visited a number of taverns, typically in search of information.[9][10] In one notable instance, the Assassin traveled to a tavern in Batavia, Indonesia, to rally its resident pirates and privateers to his cause ahead of his final voyage to Cambodia. By encouraging the seafarers to take up arms against those who would rob them of their freedom, Edward successfully persuaded them to join the Zhang Wei Union.[11]
Colonial America
During the Seven Years' War, the Templar Shay Cormac, similarly to Edward, was only able to safely enter a tavern if he had already cleared it of resident gang members. Once he had done so, Shay could bribe the bartender for information on supply camps, naval convoys, and royal convoys. He could also recruit new crew members for the Morrigan.[12]
In the years leading up to the American Revolution, the Colonial Templars led by Haytham Kenway operated out of the Green Dragon Tavern in Boston, where they regularly met to discuss their plans.[13] In November 1754, Haytham and Kaniehtí:io traveled to a Concord tavern to eavesdrop on a group of British soldiers serving under General Edward Braddock and learn about their movements.[14]
Haytham and Kaniehtí:io's son, the Assassin Ratonhnhaké:ton, mainly went to taverns to speak with his apprentices and did not partake in the drinking.[13] Notable taverns visited by Ratonhnhaké:ton included the Mile's End on the grounds of the Davenport Homestead,[13][15] and the Last Drink in Monmouth, the site of the Templar Charles Lee's demise.[16]
French Revolution
During the French Revolution, the Assassin Arno Dorian visited a number of taverns throughout Paris. While he did not partake in the drinking, many of these taverns housed some of Arno's fellow Assassins, who would enlist his help with missions or sell him various tools.[17]
In 1793, during his exile from the Brotherhood, Arno started frequenting a tavern in Versailles to drink his sorrows away. During one of his visits, he got into a drunken fight with a group of Extremists who stole his pocket watch, causing him to be kicked out of the establishment.[18]
Victorian era
Taverns, or pubs, were a common sight in Victorian London. During their time in the city in 1868, the twin Assassins Jacob and Evie Frye visited many of these pubs to collect vintage beer bottles.[19]
Modern times
In 2003, the former Assassin Desmond Miles found employment at Bad Weather, a nightclub in New York City, following his escape from the Farm.[20] He worked there as a bartender for nine years, until his abduction by Abstergo Industries in September 2012.[21]
In March 2017, the Assassins Charlotte de la Cruz and My'shell Lemair visited the Thistle & Crown pub in London to unwind following the former's disastrous mission in Hong Kong the previous month.[22]
