    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

    There are a couple more restaurants/inss in Skyrim, like my personal favorite, the Old Hroldan Inn. Between that and other tavern and inns in minor settlements (Four shields tavern, Thrysk) there are probably enough to knock out two more episodes of this specific series, this doesn't have to be the last one!

      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.

    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.

    • @land0118

      On top of that, it seems Bee and Barb is also a sort of staging ground for Riften's crime family and thus the tavern's employees may not be as concerned about being orderly or polite when the rift's most dangerous person is just upstairs. It must be stressful, I couldn't do it if i tried.

    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.

  • @rafaelcruzs2
    @rafaelcruzs2 10 місяців тому +143

    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.

    I lost my animal companion a few nights ago, and have been feeling quite emotionally distraught ever since. I've eagerly been searching for any type of uplifting content that can offer up a momentary reprieve.
    So when I saw this new Any Austin video had released, I was filled was as much joy as I'm able to experience at this time. I'm going to serve up some food, mix myself an alcoholic beverage, and enjoy some delightfully dry humor.
    Thank you, Austin, for continuing to produce lighthearted comedic content for your viewers to enjoy. It can leave a much more profound impact than might be expected; for the right people and in the right moments.

    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

    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.

    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.

    • @ravioli3257
      @ravioli3257 10 місяців тому +19

      🤓achtually, I doubt they are. Would the empire send a dark elf spy to the "we hate dark elves" city? The armor is likely there from past service in the legion. I personally think all the imperial stuff is being displayed as a sign of defiance to the stormcloaks, or intended as another sign that the Windhelm guards don't bother entering the inn/gray quarter.
