About the Game

Serve drinks while your bar falls apart.

Barfender is a chaotic co-op bar sim where fights break out, drinks spill, and you’re still trying to keep orders moving.

  • Customers get drunk, impatient, and start fights

  • Orders pile up faster than you can handle

  • Glasses shatter and the mess keeps spreading

  • Unwanted guests wander in, thieves grab what they can

Serve drinks, clean disasters, stop fights, and hold the bar together before it completely collapses.

Serve Under Pressure

Pour beers, shake cocktails, fake a smile, and mop up puke while the night spirals out of control.

Online Co-op Chaos

Serve customers together with friends. Maybe don’t smash a beer mug into your teammate’s face… or do!

Problematic Customers

Polite regulars, rowdy drunks, hopeless romantics, bar brawlers. Everyone here has a personality.

Design The Bar Which You'll Probably Ruin Later

Style your bar to perfection. Then pray the crowd doesn’t tear it apart.

Unlock Drinks, Tools, and Upgrades

Craft better drinks. Expand the bar. Lead your crew from a scrappy old bar to a thriving nightlife empire.

Bar Games and Activities

Blow off steam with darts, pool, retro arcade machines, and a wild rodeo bull.

Booze and Bad Decisions

Keep tempers down before it turns into a full-blown bar fight... or your wallet pays the price.
