History
The history of the Hart and Hare begins at the end of the 18th century. It was built in 1797 as the townhouse of the middle class family of Harker. The Harker family met with tragedy, but the building remained in their possession for almost a century before it was sold to Karl Grimes for an undisclosed sum. For the last two decades it has become the preferred public house of the city's underclass and has a decidedly unwholesome reputation among respectable society and law enforcement.
Owner: Karl Grimes
Sobriquet
- Grimes (familiar, one free drink and maybe some advice)
- Karl (friendly, an open tab)
- Odd-Eye (fear or respect, safe to sit down for a spell)
- Deadeye (stupid, possibly a future missing persons)
