Like many barmen, Igor kept a club under the bar to deal with those little upsets that occurred around closing time, although in fact Biers never closed and no one could ever remember not seeing Igor behind the bar.
Nevertheless, things sometimes got out of hand. Or paw. Or talon.
Igor's weapon of choice was a little different. It was tipped with silver (for werewolves), hung with garlic (for vampires) and wrapped around with a strip of blanket (for bogeymen).
For everyone else the fact that it was two feet of solid bog-oak usually sufficed.
