Other places more focussed on drinking than on eating are ''javihumāyikai'' and ''yaridhaus'' - substantially similar, the former a bit more formal and mainly offering homemade liqueurs, the latter cheaper and mainly offering beer and wines. These "bars" serve mostly beverages that they themselves brew or distill; there is also the option of eating, but choices are usually smaller than in inns. They are often too small to have live music or other kind of entertainment, but they sometimes do.<br/>Some tea houses (''lunaikeikai'') and fruit bars (''hælvekitai'') are also open at night. | Other places more focussed on drinking than on eating are ''javihumāyikai'' and ''yaridhaus'' - substantially similar, the former a bit more formal and mainly offering homemade liqueurs, the latter cheaper and mainly offering beer and wines.

Game halls (''fildelkeikai'') are typical Chlouvānem establishments, somewhat reminescent of [[w:Western Saloon|western saloons]], where people can drink - usually abundant quantities of rice wine or ''gilvāh'', a rhum-like spirit - but most importantly they may play some rather informal games of chance, notably card games but also very spartane versions of bowling or knife throwing. In the past, game halls had a reputation of being violent places, but it is today no longer the case in most places. | Game halls (''fildelkeikai'') are typical Chlouvānem establishments, somewhat reminescent of [[w:Western Saloon|western saloons]], where people can drink - usually abundant quantities of rice wine or ''gilvāh'', a rhum-like spirit - but most importantly they may play some rather informal games of chance, notably card games but also very spartane versions of bowling or knife throwing.

''mulьfikyai''; originally ''mulьfildelkeika(i)'') are Chlouvānem arcade halls, which are abundantly found in all city centers and - in a smaller scale - chief towns in rural areas usually have at least one. Most of them are open all night long on rest days. | ||
Dance gardens (''mūmikkeikai'') are the Chlouvānem equivalents of nightclubs, though most usually with Chlouvānem traditional music rather than more modern styles (which, in the Inquisition, still draw heavily from traditional popular music styles such as ''laneika'', a type of [[w:Qawwali|qawwali]]-like music that more often than not tops the charts). Chlouvānem dance gardens are not very different from tea houses or similar establishments; they just have large rooms where people can dance.<br/> | Dance gardens (''mūmikkeikai'') are the Chlouvānem equivalents of nightclubs, though most usually with Chlouvānem traditional music rather than more modern styles (which, in the Inquisition, still draw heavily from traditional popular music styles such as ''laneika'', a type of [[w:Qawwali|qawwali]]-like music that more often than not tops the charts).
