Golden Sturgeon

Where to find the Golden Sturgeon

The Golden Sturgeon is by the harbor in Novigrad, near the water and a short walk from the Silverton fish market and the docks.

The Golden Sturgeon is a big, loud tavern near the water in Novigrad, a short walk from the Silverton fish market and the docks. The common room is wide and crowded, with long tables, rough benches and a staircase up to rented rooms, and the air smells of tar, fish and spilled mead. Sailors, dockhands and travelers make up most of the crowd, and the place has a reputation for fistfights. If you want a quiet evening, you have come to the wrong tavern. If you want a ship, a fight or a gwent game, you are in exactly the right one.

In The Witcher 3

Few places in Novigrad see Geralt as often. The innkeep, who is often away from his own bar, sells food, drink and a few gwent cards and plays a Scoia’tael deck. Upstairs, Corinne Tilly rents a room, and it is here she reads Geralt’s dreams in the main quest. When Geralt needs passage to Skellige, he finds Captain Wolverstone of the Atropos thoroughly drunk in front of the innkeep’s counter, and happy to sail for a fee.

The tavern is busy on the side too. Master Claytop organizes fistfights here, Nidas the old Skelliger waits for help to find a black pearl, the pirate Sukrus brawls with a merchant outside for Éibhear Hattori‘s quest, and a pair of drunk butchers out front will happily turn a request for coin into a fistfight. During Zoltan‘s card hunt, Geralt finds Ravik cornered by thugs on the ground floor and plays gwent for his life. Late in the story, while retracing Ciri‘s steps through the city, Geralt looks up Bea, a waitress here who has to be rescued from a few thugs first.
