Make a concise location description of a secluded tavern setting with a desk and a jangle of keys.

A pallid fug of brandy fumes and tobacco wafts through the taproom's swinging doors, leaving a faint film on the golden oak paneling around the lobby. From time to time, a jangle of keys being hung on or retrieved from their gilded hooks draws attention to the clerks who work behind the desk, but for the most part the room has a quiet club-like atmosphere, with thick red wool carpets, comfortable leather chairs and low tables around which visitors may gather to read or converse.
