Raise your tankards and polish those wooden floors.

Developed by Greenheart Games, the team behind indie hit Game Dev Tycoon, this long-awaited tavern simulation is now available in Steam Early Access with a launch discount.

Tavern Keeper Now Available on Steam Early Access
Launching at 29.99 USD / 23.99 GBP / 27.99 EUR with a 20% discount, Tavern Keeper enters Early Access as a warm, creative, and occasionally chaotic tavern-running sandbox. Alongside the release, Greenheart Games shared a launch trailer and a developer roadmap, detailing upcoming features and improvements throughout early access.
A Cosy Fantasy Tavern Simulation With Character
Tavern Keeper blends:
- Deep management gameplay
- Creative interior design and decoration
- Lighthearted narrative storytelling
Players can construct and customize every nook of their dream tavern, placing thousands of decorative items with near-total freedom. Share your creations, build the fantasy tavern of your dreams, and make a name for yourself among fellow tavern-tenders.
But this isn’t just about pretty tables and glowing lanterns. You’ll need to:
- Hire and train staff
- Stock ingredients and manage supplies
- Serve quirky customers
- Handle rowdy situations with grace or… goblin grit
From immortal elementals to philosophical halflings and mad orc inventors, the world is packed with colorful characters who wander through your doors, each bringing personality, humor, and sometimes a mess.
A Fully Narrated Campaign Across a Magical World
The narrative campaign, fully voiced by Steven Pacey, takes players across a rich fantasy realm bursting with unique cultures and surprises. Each region introduces a new flavor of challenge. Whether you’re building a humble countryside inn or constructing the kingdom’s most ruthless gold-draining fortress, Tavern Keeper lets you choose your own style.
Micromanage every detail, or simply sink into the warm glow of fairy-lit stools and laughing patrons. This is your tavern kingdom to shape.
