Unlocking all Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag Hidden Taverns is one of the tasks you have to complete if you wish to get 100% synchronization in the video game, as well as the Barfly achievement/trophy; therefore, knowing their exact locations is required.
The Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag Taverns allow you to recruit new crew members and to play checkers, as well as to buy Intel on various subjects, making these buildings very important for Edward.
Assassin’s Creed 4 includes 8 hidden taverns that can be found in specific locations and on specific islands, and the following guide explains where you can find them.
Once found, a tavern must be unlocked, by beating 4 bandits without using any weapons. As soon as the bandits are defeated Edward can visit the tavern at any point in the game.
Unlocking a tavern on an island in AC4 is a requirement for controlling that location.
Furthermore, each bartender at a tavern can be bribed and Edward can buy Intel from all taverns, by paying 200 Relaes.
The Intel purchased reveals information on naval convoys, or cadavers that carry treasure maps.

While looking at the map, north from the harbourmaster, you can see a road that splits in two. Follow the one to the right and you will find the Tavern in Kingston (The Kingston Crown).
Fight the four thugs that protect the tavern, then enter the building and bribe the bartender to get information on the treasure map that can be found in Misteriosa.
