The June Alley Inn was a mouse tavern located in the western city of Barkstone, not far from the Main Gates. It was run by the mouse June and her husband Alistair and named after them. It was frequented by a number of mice who liked to order food and drinks, play games of Swords and Strongholds and rent rooms.
Layout[]
The inn consisted of three floors, including the cellar, the main floor and the upper floor. In Legends of the Guard Volume Three, there are maps of both the main and upper floors. Some of the walls were adorned with pictures of legendary mice. The cellar was where Alistair did his printing work, although June would have rather used it for storage.
The main floor consisted of the tavern, the kitchen, the counter area, the back access behind the bar and the stairs to the upper floor. Up to twenty mice could be seated in the tavern. The kitchen had two doors.
The second floor consisted of June and Alistair's bedroom, two premium rooms, four standard rooms, two common bunk rooms, a single lavatory and a single linen/storage closet.

History[]
Midnight's rebellion[]
During the fall of 1152, Guardmice Kenzie, Saxon, and Lieam traveled to the western city of Barkstone to investigate the origins of the Map of Lockhaven. While there, they paid a visit to the Inn to make inquiries and have some refreshments. There was also some secret resistance movement against the Axe Army from Alistair himself.
June Alley Inn storytelling competition[]
During the fall of 1154, the innkeeper June started a storytelling competition: "Weave the best tale for my ears, and your past bills are cleared." She then made that competition a tradition the following spring and winter.
