Heh! That was also a name change. The original name ideas were 'The Lady's Veil' and 'The Proud Hart'. Neither felt bawdy enough. |

I once had a little inappropriately-named brothel in one of my SHADOWRUN campaigns called 'Ead Down South. I've yet to find a way of translating that into the Realms. |

... or ancient greeks?
That actually reminded me of a bathhouse we had in Elturel, The Velvet Stud. A ladies (and select carefully vetted gentlemen of a certain persuasion) only bath house where they can be 'served' and pampered by waiters who're broad of chest and firm of buttock. |

Hehe. That sounds better. I already have a list of people likely to visit this kind of brothel. |

The Horny Toad (popular amongst dwarves... especially ones that look like Yosemite Sam).
The Back Door (a boutique specializing in fancy undergarments in the front, but if one knows of the secret alleyway entrance and the password...)
The Leaping Lizard (Run by an red-haired woman who runs the place like an orphanage - she takes in 'wayward' and homeless girls. She herself was an orphan)
The Gilded Rod (another establishment for men of certain tastes)
The House of Xena (an establishment for women of certain tastes)
The Drunken Minotaur A favorite of bored (and neglected) society women
The Prancing Pony (Do you even have to ask?) |

Xena?! REALLY??!! That's just too funny, MT, LOL!! And did you really just imply that Tolkien's tavern was a brothel??!!
You know, I added that last one with an edit (now I know why it just popped into my head!) I haven't read the Tolkien books since I was 13, and that was in another epoch (so I had forgotten where that stray bit came from).
I left it up to the reader; I can think of two different 'specialties' they could service. Neither is my cup-of-tea, BTW. 
And for what its worth, Hobbits strike me as 'chubby chasers'. D&D halflings not so much.
I can also see dark elves running a chain of surface brothel's (The Spider's Kiss?) that double as secret temples of Lolth (or Kiaransalee). With their return to the surface (did that 'Rise of the Underdark' storyline ever go anywhere?  ) this plothook would make more sense post-3e. |

Well, I've seen Reed Life used in the Empire trilogy, by Feist. Ladies of the Reed Life were those working in brothels or as callgirls. |

I've got similarly named brothels around my Realms, specifically:-
The Lusty Tart
Lashing Loves
The Pleasurable Harpy
Loves' Labour Gained [That one is kind of a perverse joke manufacted from the time a descendent of Shakespeare visited my Realms.] |

You got it, Wooly. I only heard of it, and not actually knew it, as I haven't gotten my hands on the Empire trilogy yet. The other two (Green Cat and Broken Tooth) are not exactly brothels, but inns in Midkemia, located in the city of Zun and LaMut respectively. |

Sharess' Kitty :D
How could the Goddess of Festhalls herself not be mentioned?
Of course the greatest festhall in the realms bar none would be of course the Festhall of Eternal Delights, Sharess' holiest Temple.
Filled with Priestesses, none evil Alu-Fiends, mischievous Aasmir descended from Sharess herself, Catfolk, Doppelgangers in pleasing forms, Satyr's and Dryads (Temple's Trees), and flocks of Tryessms, and magical amusements of all sorts, including cheap limited wishes, cure disease, heal, resurrection and cure poison on demand,and possible at times Sharess herself, or even allied dieties, guarded by an air breathing Sirine, Fairy Dragon, and other exotic defences.
Which Festhall/Brothel could compete with that? Especially since literal paradise is only a planeshift spell away.
Sadly I don't think the Eternal Festhall survived 4e from the descriptions of Calimport, including the great novel Sandstorm, although nothing has been stated out right about its fate.

Putting Sharess as part of the brothel's name might be giving out too much...info. Perhaps a subtler one would do: Lady of Delights. |

Here's a weird one... brothels in the Realms?
