About
Build and decorate your tavern, hire staff, stock your larder, meet the locals, be the boss and run the show! Whether you keep a cosy neighbourhood taphouse or a lean, mean gold-minting machine, the choices - and consequences - are yours.

Dozens of intertwined game systems create unpredictable emergent situations. Dirt, heat, noise, flammability, sickness and of course, a parade of colourful customers all keep the unexpected coming.

Today’s situation: Half of your staff are in bed with sleep-sickness. Orders are piling up and patrons’ tempers are getting heated. So is the tavern - because it’s on fire! A spark from a broken lantern landed on just the wrong patch of dirt with no one around to notice. Oops, perhaps it’s time to call the fire brigade...
An expansive narrative campaign lets you build taverns across a vibrant world full of your favourite fantasy cultures. Each new location brings fresh challenges and surprising stories. Meet immortal elementals, outwit halfling philosophers and aid a crazed orc inventor.

Experience a magical storybook fully-narrated by Steven Pacey. Encounter hundreds of bite-sized stories with a surprise at every turn. There’s always someone needing the guidance of a Tavern Keeper like you. What choices will you make?
Decorate every nook and hollow of your tavern to create everything from bustling taprooms to relaxing reading corners. Place and manipulate thousands of items anywhere with complete creative freedom and make the tavern of your dreams.

Go beyond decorating and become a master artisan by using Tavern Keeper’s powerful Design Mode to craft unique furnishings. Combine pieces, add magical effects, then share your creations with the Tavern Keeper community.

Play the single-player campaign your way with adjustable game mechanics and storyteller settings or play in Freeplay for a custom challenge. Pick Challenging and strategize over every decision, barely making it through each day, or play a Relaxed game running the tavern of your dreams without pressure. The choice is yours.
Made by Greenheart Games 💚 (Game Dev Tycoon), a tiny independent team, Tavern Keeper is a passion project more than a decade in the making. Every detail is handcrafted, from the art, sound, writing, animations, down to the 3D user interface and many quality-of-life features. We took no shortcuts to bring you an experience like no other. Come on Inn!

really charming very fun
Very satisfying to build out your tavern and keep it running. I wish there were some more UI and QOL improvements to certain things, but it's still early access. Grab it now before the price goes up.
Very well crafted game with relaxing narration and humorous interactions. it's one of those hidden gems that you wish you discovered sooner.

This and every other Pro feature is free until October 20, 2026. A free account is all it takes.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,420 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

It is an amazing blast of a game!
This is one of those games that makes me wish there was a "meh" review. It's extremely linear. The illusion of design choice is there but the fixed structures are clearly laid out for one specific path to success. It's fun to watch your tavern hum but it's basically on rails.
absolutely delicous game, can't wait for the full release. perfect combination of management, story, and base building. highly addicting and cant wait for more
my wife is obsessed with this game please bring out the next area lol
I played this game straight from the time installing until now. A LOT OF FUN! Great Game!
Good game, despite it's cheesy presentation, it's not simple or easy necessarily.
Summary: Only 8 hours in and I'm already hopelessly addicted to serving rat on a stick to weary travelers. Easily one of the best management sims out there right now, and an absolute must-play if you've ever wanted to run an incredibly questionable medieval business. 🎮 Gameplay: [ ] Just press W [x] Fun [ ] Goodbye social life Opinion: You literally get to play as a tavern manager barking orders at your staff while micromanaging the food and drinks. The absolute best part? You can literally craft rat skewers and serve them to paying customers without the health inspector knocking down your door to shut you down. Absolute perfection. The special encounters with the quirky clients are just the cherry on top. 🎨 Graphics: [x] Runs on a microwave [ ] Respectable pixel art [ ] Melted my GPU Opinion: The graphics are insanely cute, incredibly charming, and deliver that cozy medieval aesthetic perfectly. Best of all, it runs flawlessly on the absolute potato that I proudly call my PC. Plus, the sheer freedom you get to decorate your tavern and min-max your interior design is completely absurd. 🎵 Audio: [ ] Play while listening to a podcast [ ] Gets the job done [x] Mozart is crying in the shower Opinion: Absolutely wonderful. Both the ambient sound effects and the medieval soundtrack go incredibly hard. It delivers exactly what you'd expect from a cozy tavern simulator and then completely exceeds expectations. Grab a virtual pint and enjoy the tunes. 🐛 Bugs: [ ] It's a feature [ ] Only the funny ones [x] Smooth as butter Opinion: Honestly, smooth as butter. I might have seen a tiny bit of harmless jank, but absolutely zero game-breaking bugs that would ruin the gameplay or brick my save file. You are completely safe to just chill and grind out your profits. 💰 Price: [ ] Sell a kidney [ ] Wait for a discount [x] Worth every penny Opinion: It is undeniably worth every single penny of your hard-earned cash. Don't even wait for GabeN to drop a Steam sale—just drop the money and start building your medieval rat-grilling empire right now.
