1. Antique Radio
Description: The antique radio within Arkaine Bar is a noteworthy anomaly that contributes to the establishment's unique atmosphere. This vintage piece rests in the corner of the long bar-counter table and defies the boundaries of standard radios. It possesses the following anomalous properties:
Multiverse Broadcast: The radio provides not only songs from our reality but also tunes from alternate realities, parallel dimensions, and even other timelines. This uncanny feature extends to broadcasting sports games, news reports, and commentaries, making it a prized asset for patrons seeking diverse entertainment.
Dimensional Resonance: While the radio's function is undeniably remarkable, it does not manifest any adverse effects on its users. Regardless of the origin or nature of the broadcasts, listeners consistently describe feeling comfortable and at peace while tuning in.
2. Antonio Russo's Painting (SCP-3314)
Description: Displayed prominently on one of the bar's walls, SCP-3314 is part of the "Ricordi Del Mondo Precedente" series, created by the renowned artist Antonio Russo. The painting was traded with Marshall, Carter, and Darke, Ltd. This particular painting induces anomalous sensory experiences in viewers. These experiences include:
Visual Hallucinations: Observers report perceiving a vibrant display of colors and intricate details, far beyond the typical scope of the artwork. The scenes depicted in the painting seem to come to life, immersing viewers in a mesmerizing, ever-changing visual spectacle.
Auditory Hallucinations: While gazing at SCP-3314, individuals often hear soft whispers, laughter, and fragments of conversations, all conducted in Italian. These auditory sensations heighten the overall immersive effect, making it difficult for viewers to distinguish reality from the hallucination.
3. Three Dancing Colored Wooden Dolls

Sleep-Inducing Aura: Any individuals with ill intentions, such as plans to commit theft or harm, who enter the bar and catch sight of these figures immediately fall into a deep slumber. This effect extends only to those with malicious intent, ensuring the safety and tranquility of the bar's patrons.
4. Pocket Watch (Anomaly?)

Additionally, it features a long, golden-colored chain that is attached to the top of the pocket watch, serving a dual purpose as a keychain. The casing is composed of a dark, lustrous metal, reminiscent of aged brass. The watch's size is compact, allowing it to be carried comfortably, although it is typically stored within a discreet drawer beneath the bar counter at Arkaine Bar.
