Build and run a cozy medieval tavern

Build and run a cozy medieval tavern with up to 4 players. Explore the world, gather ingredients, cook meals by hand, brew and age drinks, build and decorate your inn, and survive chaotic dinner rushes filled with rowdy regulars, tavern games, and unexpected trouble.

The tavern doesn't run itself, and your regulars are already waiting at the door.

Grow a humble roadside tavern into the beating heart of the valley, where travelers gather, stories are shared, and every successful night brings new opportunities to expand.

Run the tavern together

Play solo or with up to three friends online. Earnings are shared across the tavern, while every player keeps their own purse. Contribute to a shared tavern fund, naturally settle into different roles, and survive the busiest nights together.

While one player keeps meals coming from the kitchen, another pours drinks behind the bar, another rushes to seat impatient customers, and another heads into the forest or down to the lake to gather tomorrow's ingredients before sunrise.

When things get hectic, toss ingredients, meals, and supplies directly to your teammates instead of running across the tavern yourself. Good teamwork is often the difference between a smooth evening and complete tavern chaos.

Cook every order by hand

Every meal is physically prepared step by step.

Carry ingredients to the stove, feed the oven with fuel, chop ingredients in timing-based prep minigames, and pull dishes at the perfect moment before they burn. Miss the timing and the kitchen can literally catch fire.

The better the dish, the bigger the payout.

Brew, age, and pour

Brewing isn't locked to fixed recipes.

Mix ingredients in barrels, experiment with different combinations, improve the batch with brewing minigames, then age your drinks before serving them on tap.

Some brews are worth selling.

Some are worth drinking yourself.

Mine, Woodcut, and Craft for the Tavern

Mine

Leave the tavern and head into the wilds to mine stone, ore, and rare materials. Every swing brings you closer to stronger upgrades, better tools, and new ways to expand your cosy tavern.

Woodcut

Woodcut trees to gather timber for building, crafting, and decorating your tavern. From simple repairs to bigger expansions, wood is one of the key resources that keeps your tavern growing.

Crafting

Use the materials you gather to craft furniture, tools, tavern upgrades, and cosy decorations. Better resources can unlock better items, helping you turn a simple tavern into a warm, thriving place customers want to visit.

Build the tavern your way

Rectangular Tool

Use the rectangular tool to quickly draw clean tavern rooms, floors, and extensions onto your plot. Build simple dining halls, compact kitchens, storage rooms, guest areas, or practical expansions that make your tavern easier to manage and grow.

Circular Tool

Use the circular tool to create rounded rooms, curved corners, cosy nooks, and more organic tavern shapes. Add personality to your layout with circular dining spaces, rounded brewing areas, decorative corners, or unique room designs that make your tavern feel handcrafted.

Furnish and Expand

Once the structure is built, place walls, doors, cooking stations, gambling tables, seating, decorations, brewing equipment, and more than 80 furniture pieces. A cramped roadside inn can slowly grow into a loud, packed tavern full of regulars, games, warmth, and chaos.

Handle the regulars

Customers arrive in groups, remember previous visits, and lose patience if service slows down.

Some nights stay calm.

Other nights end in shouting matches and tavern brawls. Grab your hammer, break up the fight, and drag troublemakers out the front door before the rest of the tavern turns on itself.

And yes, getting drunk affects gameplay too.

Gamble with the customers

Build tavern games your customers can gather around.

Play Liar's Dice against the house or build the Henhouse, a betting game where everyone wagers on where the tavern chicken will stop. Winning streaks grow the pot, the tavern takes a cut, and somebody always gets too competitive.

Grow from a sleepy inn into a legendary tavern

Unlock new recipes, ingredients, customers, and upgrades as your tavern climbs through 10 progression ranks.

Level separate Cooking, Fishing, and Carousing masteries, specialize into fishing talents across multiple branches, and turn a struggling inn into the loudest tavern in the realm.
