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.

Es ist so verdammt cozy und unterhaltsam. Absolute mentale Erholung. So viel Liebe für Details. Freue mich unsagbar auf das fertige Spiel - das erste große Update hat eher neue Details geliefert, aber der Fortschritt ist deutlich merklich! Jetzt nur auf die Zwerge warten... !
It is one of the best games out there. Genuine. Though, maps are limited, in amount and size. Amazing customization with honestly very little assets. Campaign has its own challenge which is nice while explaining mechanics. And okay amount of sandbox settings. The story book, is also a nice addition. Making small events happen in game.

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's funny, creative and more involved than a lot of it's competitors.
Really good fun. Easily the best game of this genre I have played.
The main thing that sets Tavern Keeper apart from other tavern simulators for me is its art style. It captures the fantasy atmosphere extremely well and gives the game a lot of charm. Although it is still in development, it already offers an impressive amount of freedom and variety, even with the currently limited number of locations. Being able to return to a previously visited area, choose a different layout and encounter new storybooks or events adds a surprising amount of replayability. The option to automate deliveries and maintain a chosen stock level is also an excellent quality-of-life feature. It makes managing the tavern far less tedious and helps keep the player focused on the enjoyable parts of the game. Before this was added, constantly checking the world map every few seconds became rather exhausting. Overall, I am really looking forward to seeing what the game becomes as development continues. P.S. Why is there an emoji in the title, though?
I like this game. It's cute and straightforward. The characters and the stories mechanic are good. I am looking forward to more of everything, especially the random rolling in stories. I would also love to be able to run the campaigns again in each location.
I really like the game. :)
Is good game just not much in it yet. Will be fantastic once it's finished!
The simulation engine is up there with games like Rimworld but slightly more streamlined. The attention and care given to every detail the game has to offer is an absolute joy to experience. It is difficult to miss how special this game is to the developers, and that adds everything to the gameplay experience.
What a cute game. I played all 3 scenarios within a day or two. I'm excited to see what comes next from the game! I highly recommend it!
