Volensholagoz's Tavern, Grill, and Schmporp-Rehorbbler, better-known as simply the Interdimensional Tavern, was a well-frequented hub for interdimensional travellers, located in the Void.
Nature
Like Hilbert's and the Interdimensional Casino, the Tavern mostly recruited its staff from exiles and castaways who had become adrift in the Void after losing their home universe or being banished from it. (PROSE: The Grand Multiverse Hotel)
The Tavern was operated by Volensholagoz, with Frederick and Tpxszum as waiters, SERIAL CODE 000000234 as the chef, and a shapeshifting Drink-Mixer. One of the Tavern's most constant patron was Alistair Neezley, a braggart who constantly regaled other guests with spurious tales of daring-do. (PROSE: Multiversal Mischief)
Due to its location in the Void, it was often menaced by the many “eldritch abominations” banished into the Void from various universes. However, they were usually able to placate the monsters via free drinks. (PROSE: The Interdimensional Tavern)

At some point, the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids became acquainted with the Tavern. The Tavern's staff made it clear that they were not to use their Love Potion on the premises, lest they be banned indefinitely. By this point, their staff roster including Frederick, Tpxszum, …234 and the Drink-Mixer was in place; when asked, they claimed not to have changed their staff since “April of ∉∝”.

The Department of Documentation of the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids once visited the Tavern together while on a lunch break. There, they met a Victorian Time Traveller from the 97th Cosmos as well as another, stranded time-traveller, who came from the Prime Universe. After returning to the Cupid Homeworld, Bibliophile-962 realised that he'd forgotten a book at the Tavern. He wrote to Frederick to warn him that someone else would be coming to collect it on his behalf, and wrote instructions to do so into the Cupid Fact File concerning the tavern (#124) which he filed about a week later.

Shortly afterwards, Juliet-178 and Pythagoras-858 teleported into the Tavern, alongside a Troll, Tero Trollgarsson. They had a conversation with another patron, Odin. (PROSE: The Winter Quests)
