This evening I was pottering around Dalaran. I went to visit Nomi who had burned some of my food (though was kind enough to save some of the ingredients to give back to me!). I wandered out of the kitchen and noticed a door I had been running past all expansion. Of course I had to go see what was in there. I expected it to just be a small room or something. What I found instead was a fully decked out beer garden!!
Seriously, how awesome is it?
There is a small patio with a little table and chairs for those who like a quiet corner for a chat…
The main beer garden itself has loads of space for all your mates, food galore, and two lovely ladies available to serve you a range of alcoholic beverages. There’s even a hearthstone set!
The building you can find this behind is called A Hero’s Welcome, and is Alliance only.
To find the beer garden, take the door to the left (you can see Nomi in the kitchen on the right!)
The rest of the inn has some interesting things in it – there’s a crate of hearthstones just laying around, some… questionable artwork, really lovely ceiling work in the bedroom, and at the top of the building, a lovely sitting area that overlooks Dalaran.
I love finding things like this. Especially in areas that I’m in on a daily basis. Sometimes you just have to not do the same thing you do every day to notice these extra bits and pieces.
I wish they still had the Violet Citadel portal you could take to the top of the tower. There was a nice quiet bar there. If you had higher learning achievement if I recall.

I have higher learning. I haven’t tested to see if the port you get works in new Dal. Though probably not because isn’t that where the mage order hall is?

I’ve gone upstairs in New Dal. There aren’t any portals that I can see.

The Higher Learning achievement rewards a toy – The Schools of Arcane Magic – Mastery (http://www.wowhead.com/item=43824/the-schools-of-arcane-magic-mastery) If you use the toy, it ports you to the top tower in Dalaran. I just tested it out in new Dalaran and it actually worked!! I can’t go outside the room or anything, but I’m up there at the top of the tower!

I accidentally found this when I was looking for a dusty rug which allows you to see dust bunnies. It’s such an awesome place 🙂

I remember finding this a long while ago when I was still alliance. I don’t think Horde has anything like it in their inn. I shall have to go have a look.
I love that crate of hearthstones 🙂

I don’t recall seeing anything for Horde either. But you guys do have a much larger inn, so maybe that’s the alternative?
