    Mine is the sleeping giant inn in riverwood, or nightgate inn in the pale I believe.

    I do enjoy the Nightgate Inn for it's natural surroundings but I do like some of the more bustling bars with better bards like the Winking Skeever.

    I try and avoid the Bannered Mare because of Saadia if I'm playing an honourable character. I guess the inn I have spent the most time in is either the Sleeping Giant or Moorside Inn. Deadman's Drink is probably my favourite because the town is so gloomy it actually feels like I'm getting in out of the wet when I pass through.

    Probably the Bannered Mare for the warm, friendly atmosphere.

    I like Candlehearth Hall in Windhelm the most. The open space, the dim lighting, the perpetually burning candle on the hearth that gave the hall its name; the atmosphere created in Candlehearth Hall is calm, and feels safe in an otherwise dark and treacherous city.

    Candlehearth Hall is probably the worst! The bard is f*cking AWFUL!

    It's actually the reason I don't roleplay my characters going into inns anymore. Especially in Windhelm, anyway.

    I do agree on the atmosphere there, you hit the nail on the head there, mate.

    EDIT: The atmosphere aside from the bard, of course.

    Probably the Bee and Barb.  It's a little busier than most of the inns, has a nice layout and open common room, and feels the most like a place where I would happily go eat.  (I mean it has tables to gods' sake.)

    I rather like Talen-Jei.  He may well be one of my favorite Argonians in the game.

    Nightingate Inn will always hold a place in my heart after I murdered the Gourmet and hid his body. Besides, you can get a Blade's Sword without doing the main quest, here.

    I actually like the bard there. I certainly don't consider her awful. If you wan't awful, go pay the bard in the Winking Skeever to sing. Rather, wait until she sings something - she doesn't deserve the five Septims.

    Actually, yeah, she's much worse.

    You would think the Bards College would have chosen someone better to represent the very city they're based in.
