Cool pub.
Sweet... now to make this on topic, we need one of these in the game world... unless the halflings already have one. ;) In that case, we need more.
Zalanthan baobabs must be too small to build a pub in, considering that you can fell them with a few swings of a stone axe and carry it back home.
My next dwarf's focus will be to make this a reality!

No, it's just that you only chop down the small-medium sized ones. The big ones you can't chop down, so you don't. And I'm pretty sure there are trees (agafari and/or baobabs) that are large enough and do have lots of room inside the trunk or in/beneath the roots, etc. I wouldn't mind seeing more, but you keep chopping them down so they don't grow big enough. Argh. ;)

Maybe you could have the tree as a "first room" and the actual business end of the pub is underground in the huge rood system that Zalanthan plants would need to supply it with enough water. You would have the cool ambiance of roots hanging everywhere too!

Inside a massive baobab tree [leave, down]
The hollowed out trunk of this massive baobab tree provides a bit
of shade and relief from the head and weather outside. on the
opposite the crack by which you entered, there is a large dark hole,
out of which springs a ladder. The smell of spice and booze seems
to pour out of the hole.

This reminds me very much of that dude in the tree in the original Legend of Zelda, where you could gamble for rupees.

I hated that guy so very much. His game was rigged.
The game might have been rigged, but the player always had the upper hand:
all you have to do is save after you win and restart after you lose.
I move to have an APM at this pub, all of us dressed up as zalanthans.
South Africa wont know what hit it.
Thanks Bel, i forgot all about this thread!
