Barfender

Barfender is a co-op bar simulation game in which players take on the role of bartenders trying to keep their establishment running smoothly despite mounting chaos. Customers become drunk and impatient, fights break out, glasses break, and uninvited guests or thieves may appear, all while orders continue to come in.

The core gameplay involves pouring drinks, mixing cocktails, cleaning up spills and messes, and defusing conflicts between customers before they escalate into fights. The game supports online co-op play, allowing players to work together, or occasionally against each other, while serving a bar full of customers with varying personalities, including regulars, rowdy drunks, and troublemakers.

Players can also design and customise their bar, unlock new drinks, tools, and upgrades, and expand their venue over time. Additional activities such as darts, pool, arcade machines, and a mechanical bull are available within the bar environment. The game combines drink-serving mechanics with time and chaos management as players attempt to keep the night from spiralling out of control.
