Random weirdos in a tavern? (ttrpg.network)

I'll soon start my next #DnD campaign, and I've decided to start with a classic - the PCs all meet in a tavern. Now, the PCs intended to meet in a tavern and have plans to go elsewhere (the city of Ptolus, if it matters), but I want to start the campaign to start in a lively manner.

Which means populating the tavern with all sorts of weirdos for some good role-playing opportunities. Any suggestions?

A running gag of my campaigns is that they all start in a tavern (or bar, or mess hall, whatever fits the setting).
The barkeep is always an orc (in a modern setting I'd describe him as incredibly tall, muscular man, with a sickly skin tone, etc.) who wipes down the used beer mugs with his apron and puts them back on the shelf.
