This watering hole opens evenings at 19 bells, the time when people be­gin finishing their meals and are out looking for entertainment. The Night Watch offers only drinks, along with the salted bread sticks that are served along with them at no extra charge.

Seating in the Night Watch is arranged in comfortable wooden booths with wooden benches to either side, illuminated by oil lanterns that hang on the walls above the table and burn whale oil. This is a place above all for social pleasure and budding young lovers with a few gold talers in their pockets, but it also is used by smaller merchants to close minor league deals, and travelers from all walks of life consider the Night Watch to be Sarshel's best night spot.

The Night Watch also is where some of the Heralds of Imphras II head after they finish dining at the Harbor Lights Inn. The owner of the Night Watch, is Nanda Tulsance.

Nanda's beers are among the most expensive in Sarshel, but that's because they're imported from the monastery in Westfields. All beer is served in tin tankards that hold a pint/half liter. The light colored Monk’s Tankard, strong in bitter hops costs 8 copper bites. Brother Armin’s White, the unusual bottom fermented beer brewed with wheat malt instead of barley malt, costs a silver shiner.

In the cold months, Nanda also serves the strong, sweet, dark, malt-rich double bock beer called Chaunteator at 1 silver shiner and 3 copper bites. She has a selection of the best wines from Uthmerg at 1 to 4 gold talers per quart/liter bottle (only full bottles are sold), Eastreeds whisky at 1 gold taler per shot/0.1 liter and the full selection of local fruit schnapps at 5 shiners per shot/0.1 liter.
