Kora's Inn

Kora's Inn

"Last decent meal before Cheiron and his academy food."
- Hercules, 1.01 - Treasure of Zeus.

Kora's Inn is located near Cheiron's Academy, and is the favorite eating place and hang-out of the cadets. It is owned and run by Kora. It has a bar with stools, and several benches, tables, and chairs scattered around the main room with a fireplace in the center. There seems to be an upstairs but this is not really explored on-screen.

Staff

• Leonidas has worked as a dishwasher, waiter, and cook.
• Iolaus was hired to be a busboy, but has worked as a waiter.
• Hercules, Iolaus, and Jason run the inn during 1.07 - Inn Trouble while Kora is looking for Artemis's stolen food offering. The only item on the menu is chicken salad, and none of the customers pay for their food.
• Cleo runs the inn during 1.30 - Sisters after Kora storms off.

History

• In 1.01 - Treasure of Zeus, the Inn seems to have recently changed hands. Hercules claims it's the last decent meal before the Academy, and Iolaus (if he is to be believed) is tight with the previous owner, but all of the guys seem to be meeting Kora for the first time, and are genuinely surprised to find out she is the owner. It is unknown who the previous owner was.
• Problems with Satyrs in 1.01 - Treasure of Zeus cause Kora to threaten to turn her Inn into a humans-only establishment (No shirt, no feet, no service), but she does not seem to have any problem with serving Cheiron in 1.06 - Teachers Pests; in fact, she even has a table that is at the right height for a standing centaur. Despite this, however, the Inn seems to be primarily a human establishment.
• In 1.30 - Sisters, Kora puts up the inn as collateral against Cleo's debts, and Cleo worriedly exclaims that she's risking "the family inn", indicating that the Inn probably was owned by Kora's parents before she took over.
