The tavern is your party’s home base, and its music should feel diegetic — like a real band is playing in the corner. Keep it low; tavern tracks exist to fill the silence while players roleplay, not to be listened to. If someone has to raise their voice over it, it’s too loud.
Lean on folk instruments — lute, fiddle, hand percussion, the odd voice — and pick one warm track to loop for the whole scene rather than cutting between songs. The consistency is the comfort. Save a livelier festival cut for a celebration or a bard’s performance, and drop to something quieter when a hooded stranger slides into the booth.
