The Barman, who is inhabited by the ghost named Yorick, is located behind the bar. He sells drinks and food to the patrons of your establishment. He has an accessible inventory in which you can place food to sell during events.

The cellar is located behind the bar, in the basement of the tavern.

This can be done by placing these drinks on the racks in the cellar, where they will be automatically pulled from and sold. The higher the quality of the items you sell, the more reputation you gain. There is a gauge on the reputation meter that tracks how much reputation your Tavern is gaining. Once the bar is full a appears next to the bar. You can have a maximum of 3 on the meter, after-which any earned reputation will be wasted. may then be spent in order to hold events.

Tavern Upgrade

To upgrade the tavern you need to progress through the cabinet with artifacts. You need to speak with Adam to get the Clay Shards and he will give you the quest to upgrade your tavern.

The upgraded tavern comes with a 10% "Tavern upgrade bonus" on any alcohol sold and allows you to build the rat race event (once the quest line advances far enough along) and more tables to increase your .

The upgrade comes with two additional Spaces for Tavern Tables and three spots for Tavern Barrels. One of the Tavern Barrels is included in the upgrade, the other two must be built afterwards. On the Switch, there is a known glitch where the upgrade does not provide the additional spaces for two new Tavern Tables. This glitch usually resolves through restarting the game.

Each sale consumes multiple beverages, the number of which is dependent on the tavern quality, the maximum being 12x requiring at least 77,

Trade Report

The trade report details the money and you've earned selling your drinks during the day and food during events.

Tavern Events

Once an event is unlocked, via tavern upgrades and progression through the SS quest-line, the player may hold events at the tavern assuming the requisite tavern reputation has been earned. There are four events available, each allowing a substantial amount of food and drink to be sold, with differing food requirements for each that will impact the happiness of the patrons. Happy patrons will pay more for their preferred foods, and will also tend to buy more valuable consumables if available. There are also achievements for each event that can be unlocked by holding an event with an overall high amount of happiness.

Before you begin an event, all the consumables you wish to sell must be in the Barman's inventory, which you can fill by speaking to him or by preparing food items at the Professional Kitchen or the Professional Oven in the tavern's cellar.

The number of items sold = Tavern Quality x 2
