Ladies and Gentlemen, may I extend a cordial invitation to all who may be passing by to stop off for a little R&R at my new Health and Wellness Emporium
Having made several expeditions in various ships, I decided to see how comfortable I could be while exploring. The plan was to get the best ship I could find, and fill it with as many tasty treats as I could. Also, with such a large (and well-stocked!) ship, it would seem rather churlish to keep it all to myself. Hence, after quite some time running around empire space, I am now the proud owner of the Imperial Cutter "Schrodingers Speakeasy".
Any explorers in the area are welcome to come aboard and take a load off their feet. The name refers to the idea that you don't know if we are open until you try, and what we serve may or may not be legal. Or safe...
We are currently parked up in the Eagle Nebula, if you are in the area.
There are several bars and rest areas aboard:
'Cantina' - A small, intimate bar on the top deck which has a good view of... well, of the main hardpoints actually
'10 Forward' - A larger area in the nose, possibly more suited to dancing (no daddy dancing please, this is a quality establishment!)
'The Legless Arms' - The flagship bar at the rear of the living area, with areas for quiet relaxation or loud quaffing (all carpets are certified quaff-proof).
The menus contain (amongst other things) the following enticements:

Coffee/ Tea
Orrerrian Vicious Brew
This drink is so high in caffeine and Natural sugars that it is often classed as a Narcotic. The addictive properties and resulting sleep deprivation are famed.
Any Na Coffee
Once sneered at as a cheap substitute, this product has gained cult status from its overly thick texture and bitter flavour from the roots and herbs that it is made of. It is an acquired taste that now appeals to the Bohemian set
Fujin Tea
A range of infusions from indigenous plants and herbs that produce highly effective medicines rivalling or exceeding the best synthetics. Ill-informed combinations have been known to be instantly fatal.
Mechucos High Tea
Mechucos high tea is so named for the dizzying highs caused by its consumption. Most users recommend restricting consumption to specific times of the day, and only with a side plate of restorative sandwiches and cakes
Haidne Black Brew
Brewed over a low heat for days, this tea is comprised of fine mineral shavings, rather than traditional leaves. This mineral based tea is high in salts and nutritious metals. Over consumption of this has been known to temporarily cause the drinker's skin to take a metallic hue.
Normal Coffee
Normal Tea
Nibbles/ Bar Snacks
Arouca Conventional Sweets
The monastic orders of Arouca live a secluded and peaceful life producing, among other things, a limited range of Conventual sweets. Each come with a personalised blessing.
Deuringas Truffles
More of a lichen than the fungus that they resemble. They have a similar musty flavor to ancient Earth truffles, but the process of metabolising Deuringas's surface produces a toxic crust - which is why Deuringas truffles must be shaved in preparation for eating.
Eden Apples of Aerial
A native plant that bears fruit resembling an apple with a silver lustre. Originally inedible, but through genetic modification the neurotoxins have been stripped away leaving what is now seen as a delicacy.
Esuseku Caviar
After being discovered in an ancient gene bank, the last of the cryogenically stored Sturgeon eggs were purchased for an undisclosed, but reliably enormous sum. After the long search for an appropriate environment, they were introduced to the waters of Esuseku, and to their owner's relief, hatched and established a breeding colony. The ancient fish continues to thrive in the waters of Esuseku making it the primary producer of caviar in known space.
LTT Hypersweet
Created by combining the DNA of the universe's sweetest crops, to create the sweetest substance of them all. It turns out it's highly addictive.
Wheemete Wheat Cakes
These cakes were originally used as packing material for expensive machinery, but when plant owners realised they were edible, they soon became the workers staple diet. The wheat cakes produced today are made using the traditional recipe.
Witchhaul Kobe Beef
A traditional breed from the Tajima strain of wagyu cattle in Kobe in Japan on ancient Earth, they remain most pampered cattle in human space. Taken from Kobe before the Earth's serious environmental decline, the cattle are fed a secret mix of rare grains and brushed daily. Now unique to Witchhaul, this is one of the most priced meats there is.
The Top Shelf
Bast Snake Gin
Traditional cure-all and cocktail ingredient. The venom of the snake entombed in the bottle adds to the intoxicating effect of the drink.
Eranin Pearl Whisky
Created to celebrate 30 years of Eranin independence, this specially created whiskey was created in limited supply and is expected to increase in value over time.
Indi Bourbon
Originally used as a medicine to revive those who have suffocated in dust storms, the restorative effects of this potent drink are almost as famous as the hangovers.
Lavian Brandy
A highly valued liquor from the old world of Lave. Using ancient breeds of grains grown in it's tropical climate, under a permit from the government, the distillate is kept in old earth oak barrels and held in an orbital maturing facility for decades to achieve maximum richness.
Centauri Mega Gin
This chemical distillate is almost pure Alcohol, but with subtle, prized flavors. Often used as an ingredient in more dangerous cocktails. The exact details of the distillation process are a closely guarded secret.
Beers/ Ales
Gerazian Gueuze Beer
Geras 3 A supports life in the form of large algae like plankton, whose bioluminescent digestive system excretes a complex protein that can be used in the brewing process. The resulting beer is famous for it's strength, heady aroma, and luminescent color.
Kongga Ale
The hops of Kongga provide a deep, satisfying flavour to the locally brewed ale, but seem to wither and spoil rapidly when removed from their native climate. Due to this Kongga Ale is renowned for its authentic flavour and traditional production methods. Served at room temperature with a decorative umbrella.
All Drinks Served In:
Hutton Mugs
Delivered over vast distances by those in search of a profit, the Hutton Mug, is only sold to Commanders who make the painfully long journey to Hutton Orbital. Made from the salvaged frame shift drive plates of ships that ran out of fuel before reaching the station, this is purely a vanity item commemorating the epic journey. It's value lies in its rarity and latent frame shift energies keeping your drink that little bit warmer for the journey.
