Roadmap
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.

🛠️ A SMOOTHER BAR
This update is mostly focused on bug fixes, polish, and making the demo smoother.But we also added a few new things.📐 EASIER BUILDINGFurniture can now align with nearby objects while being placed, making it much easier to build clean counters and organize your bar.Your furniture being crooked is now officially your responsibility.🕺 MORE EMOTESA whole bunch of new emotes have been added.Wave, celebrate, dance, or coordinate an unnecessarily elaborate choreography with your friends while customers wait for their drinks.Running the bar remains optional.📅 ONE MORE DAYThe demo now lasts 4 in-game days instead of 3.Many players were reaching the end before getting enough time with cocktails and the newer systems, so you now have another day to explore, expand, and cause problems.🔧 IMPROVEMENTS & FIXESImproved Unstuck so it more reliably returns stuck players to a safe position.Fixed pho...

Read full update on Steam ↗🍻 THE CO-OP UPDATE
👥 BRING YOUR CREW You asked for it. A lot. So here it is. Co-op is now live in the Barfender demo. You can create or join Steam lobbies, invite friends, ready up, and run the bar together with up to 4 players. Someone can serve drinks. Someone can clean. Someone can carry furniture around for no reason. Everyone can panic when the customers start throwing things. Co-op is a big shift for Barfender, so we'll keep improving it with your feedback. If something breaks, desyncs, explodes, or becomes way funnier than intended, tell us. 🏗️ MOVE YOUR BAR COUNTERS Bar counters can now be moved. That means you can finally shape the bar more freely instead of being stuck with the old layout. We also redesigned the bar space with a new kitchen, office area, updated object placements, new counter types, and cleaner placement behavior. Your bar should feel more like your bar now. Still probably f...
Read full update on Steam ↗THE "PLUG AND PLAY" UPDATE
THE "PLUG AND PLAY" UPDATELast update smoothed out the early shifts. This one is about how you play them. Full gamepad support, a character creator, a settings screen that doesn't fight you, and meaner nights behind the bar. CO-OP DEVELOPMENT STATUSStill cooking. We're working on it from both sides: the technical side (netcode, sync, all the stuff that makes two players in one bar not fall apart) and the balance side (a chaotic shift with a friend needs to feel right, not just functional). No date yet. We'll show it when it's ready. FULL GAMEPAD SUPPORTThe big one. Full gamepad navigation across the main menu, pause menu, the phone, the shop, A-Mart, and the bar itself. Rotation works on stick now, so placing furniture isn't a wrestling match. Steam Deck players, you're in. CUSTOMIZE YOUR BARTENDERFull character creator at runtime. New presets, a better default look, and the whole thi...
Read full update on Steam ↗THE "SMOOTHER SHIFTS" UPDATE
THE "SMOOTHER SHIFTS" UPDATE We've been watching clips, reading your feedback, and digging through the data since the demo went live. While we love the chaos, some of those first shifts were landing more frustrating than fun. This update cleans up onboarding, sharpens the early quests, and squashes the bugs that were getting in your way behind the bar. ABOUT CO-OP You've been asking. A lot! So let's clear something up. We originally planned to keep co-op for the full release. But after seeing how many of you have been itching to wreck a bar with a friend, we've changed our minds. Co-op is coming to the demo in a future update. It's not in this one, and we want to take our time to make it feel right, so we're not putting a date on it yet. But it's happening!Wishlist Barfender so you don't miss the moment co-op demo drops. HIGHLIGHTSReworked onboarding and early quest flow so progressio...
