"Cheers", but set in a fantasy tavern.
Are you fucking reading this, Wizards? You could have a Yawning Portal sitcom and millions of nerds would eat it the fuck up.

There are a few podcasts like that I think. Notably Hello from the Magic tavern. A sitcom, even animated, would be pretty cool!
Yeah, animated is probably the way to go. Few sitcoms are going to get the budget for the costumes and makeup to not look dorky.
This is one of the things What We Do In The Shadows got right.
For real, when they used effects, they were always way better than expected.
Ooh, gonna have to check that one out! 😁
Addendum: The local vintner who supplies the tavern is a genial bullywug named Jeremiah who no one quite understands.
The Goliath at the end of the bar is a happy genial sort, his comically oversized tankard is a source of recurring jokes
"Nørmr!"
"What would you say to an ale, there, Nørmr?"
I guess he needs a courier buddy full of bad trivia.
Voiced by John Ratzenberger of course.
Jesus christ I actually need this.
A bespectacled kenku wizard enters, "ah Dr Crane how've ya been".
"Very well Nørmr, thank you for asking"
So then is Lilith a harpy or a succubus?
Oh definitely a Harpy
She's hot as fuck
This is an idea like the Big Kat from KitKat.
So damn obvious and fucking cool, that you wonder why you didn’t think of it first…
Spider Robinson wrote some books about that place.
One of my favorite Japanese dramas, Isekai Izakaya Nobu, based on an anime of the same name, has a plot kind of like this. Lots of fun.
I played a RPG in IRC back in high school that was essentially just that. Like 90% of the game was just hanging out in the tavern just talking about in-world politics and drama.
Kinda like Bruno's Lodge in Lands of Lore
