Pub Sim

You've just bought your first Pub. First steps are to clean it, stock it, set your markup and let in the Patrons. Keep the drinks flowing and try not to shortchange anyone! If you keep it going long enough you might just earn enough to spruce up the place, hire staff and expand the premises.

About the Game

Welcome to Pub Sim, this is where the trials and tribulations of running your very own tavern come alive. Will you spruce it up to be the hot-spot of the town? Or become a dive bar catering only to the outcasts of society.

Your customers won't appreciate a dirty premises, get cleaning to really bring the shine out of those dusty surfaces.

Reinvest into the building to expand further, purchase furniture to increase customer retention and manage prices, each aspect will directly affect your; reputation, efficiency and overall aesthetic of your Pub.

Keep your stocks high, you'll need everything from the cheapest to the most premium if you're going to satisfy your customers, or perhaps branch out into Wines and Spirits for added challenges and rewards.

Carefully pour your drinks, each drop will be another cut into your margins.

Running a Pub can be hard work, why not kick back and have someone else do it for you? Be warned though, they can't do everything and you'll still be needed for top business decisions... Just try not to bankrupt yourself with their wages.
