Kingfisher Inn

The Kingfisher is the largest inn in Novigrad and sits in the northeast corner of Hierarch Square, at the top of a flight of stone steps. It is a handsome, multi-storey building with a lively taproom, a stage for performers, guest rooms upstairs and a cellar that, conveniently, connects to the city sewers. While smoke from the pyres drifts over the rooftops outside, the Kingfisher sells something rarer than fine wine: an evening where nobody talks about witch hunts.

The inn is run by Olivier, who named it after one of Dandelion’s poems. Its star attraction is the trobairitz Priscilla, who performs under the stage name Callonetta.

In The Witcher 3

In Broken Flowers, Zoltan Chivay realises that the mysterious blonde in Dandelion’s love life is Priscilla, and Geralt comes here after sundown to catch her show. Afterwards she tells him about Dandelion’s run-in with Whoreson Junior and his plan to rob Sigi Reuven, which leads straight into Get Junior.

The inn also matters to Triss Merigold. In Now or Never, its cellar is the meeting point for mages fleeing the city through the sewers, and whether Olivier survives depends on how long Geralt and Triss take to get there.

Upstairs, the Temerian nobleman Count Kurt Dysart hands out Contract: Doors Slamming Shut, which ends with an earth elemental under his new house. Olivier plays Gwent with a Monsters deck for Gwent: Playing Innkeeps and also sells cards, and at the end of High Stakes, Sasha may invite Geralt here for dinner.

Good to know

The Hierarch Square signpost is only a few steps away. If Olivier dies before you have won his card, it can still be found in the room near the counter.
