Teahouse common rooms are cosy and social

There's a lit stove making the room nicely cosy. The decor is unique and often really interesting. This is where folks relax, chat, play cards and read. You enjoy tasty hot food and drinks after a day spent in the elements. You meet interesting people from all around the world!
The common room is normally the only heated room in a teahouse, so it's where everyone hangs out.
