The Shamrock Taphouse

The Shamrock Taphouse is a landmark of the Boston waterfront.

Background
This historic public house and pool hall was built 500 years ago, in 1787; it is said that Paul Revere used to drink here. Now, this historic bar and pool club on the edge of the Theater District is run by one of the smaller raider gangs active in this area.

Before the War, a taphouse employee named Patrick Merryweather also develop a robot in the basement, capable of producing any beer if it was provided with the recipe, as well as bottling an dispensing the beer. Drinkin' Buddy is still in the basement, awaiting to be delivered to the Hotel Rexford. Currently this fortified raider camp is run by Gaff, he and a few of his cohorts are scattered throughout the premises.

Layout
Enclosed by some scrap metal fortifications, this location is a hot spot for raiders. The tap house opens to the main bar, which contains a cooking station in the corner. In the back of the bar is a hallway and staircase. This hallway has an Advanced locked door that is also trapped with a makeshift bomb. The door conceals a bathroom containing a chemistry station and a stash of chems and alcohol. Another bathroom has a busted wall, leading to the kitchen. A Novice locked door at the end of the hallway also leads to the kitchen by going through a private room first. The stairs lead up to the pool hall and small office.

The private room in the back leads down into the basement area which contains a few mole rats, an armor workbench, and the pod for Buddy, a specialized brewing Protectron. A stairwell leads up from the cellar back to the streets of Boston.
