There are a number of small taverns with rooms and inns - every district has at least one, though the districts with a higher proportion of one race tends to have taverns that likewise cater to the distinct tastes and predilections of said race. There are exceptions, though - a few establishments in human-dominated districts are awfully cosmopolitan.
One such is the Ruby Lounge, a mid-tier establishment that has become the haunt of the local reptilian population. Given that their numbers are too few to even claim a district, they had to find some place to hang out. These tend to be young men and though they mostly seem to want to drink, smoke tobacco in rolled papers, listen to the piano player and flirt, they are fairly harmless. Still, the 'Lounge Lizards', as they are sometimes disparagingly called, do have a reputation for hedonism.
The proprietor is human, and he doesn't really mind their presence - they're generally good customers. Rumors that said proprietor smuggled weapons to a reptilian fighting-force in a past life are met with him saying "That's a fanciful story - be pretty interesting if it were true." The fact that he doesn't quite get along with the city watch tends to add some fire to the stories, as does his odd insistence that his piano-player not play a particular song.
