How to play (score attack)

In Super Barkeeper you have to run a bar for five days, trying to earn as much positive smileys as possible while preventing negative smileys. There are three drinks to serve: coffee, beer and wine. You can carry up to five drinks at any time and have to serve them to the customers quickly in order to make them happy.

Interact with the beer tap, coffee machine and wine rack to gather drinks.

Undesired events need to be resolved quickly as well. Most noticeable is the jukebox that breaks down once in a while, generating negative smileys until fixed. More events will unlock over time, like customers vomiting or getting upset while playing the arcade machine.

Serve drinks and resolve undesired events to earn positive smileys and prevent negative ones.Serve drinks and resolve undesired events to earn positive smileys and prevent negative ones.

Chillout mode

The Chillout mode is there in case you want to enjoy the game in a more relaxed way. Customers are always happy, there are no undesired events, and you can pet the cat. Meow!

A tribute to Flash games

This is a tribute to the very first game jam I've ever joined. Back in 2004, during the heydays of Flash games, I submitted this little game for the Flashkit 48 Hours Competition. Last week, just before Flash support was discontinued, I rediscovered it still lingering on Newgrounds.


Bar Keeper from 2004, made in Macromedia Flash 8 (I think).

Nice game ! Really like the simple art style. I wish I could see my current score during the game. It seems it's only shown at the end.

so much fun, so much chaos, inspiring what you accomplished here.

"I've figured it out"

I was wrong, so wrong. Each day brings more and more, that darn cat! And mouse! And Jukebox! and Puke!

Never want to be a barkeep now, thanks for illuminating me.

Thanks so much for the game :D

Really cool game. Loved it, starts slow and gets hectic really fast.

Loved the jukebox kick thing !
