Bartender is a job in the Service department.

As a Bartender, you're tasked with providing the crew new and interesting beverages to keep them happy and hydrated, and with lending a listening ear and a friendly face to those in need.

The most important machines for your job are the Booze-O-Mat, booze dispenser, and soda dispenser. Your locker also comes stocked with a double-barreled shotgun and boxes of beanbag rounds, which can help you keep rowdy patrons in check.

Remember to use the Radio to work closely with the crew; aside from general communications, it's often helpful to radio other departments (most often Botany) to ask them to deliver certain ingredients that your bar isn't stocked with by default.

Booze storage

The back room of the bar always contains at least one booze storage locker (usually one per Bartender job slot). Despite the name, they contain useful equipment, not liquor.

Booze storage contents
Name	Description
Armor vest	Provides basic protection against brute, heat, and explosive damage. Wearing this also allows you to store your shotgun on your back, saving space in your bag.
Beer goggles	Glasses that allow you to see how thirsty living creatures are (via icons above their head). Also allows you to determine the exact contents and temperature of an inspected liquid. Functionally identical to the Beer HUD Eyepatch. Despite looking like sunglasses, these will not protect your eyes from flashes.
Damp rag x2	Can be soaked in water and used to clean up puddles, similar to a Janitor's mop.
Double-barreled shotgun	A fully-functional shotgun. While loaded with less-lethal .50 beanbag shells by default, it can be loaded with other varieties of .50 shell as well. Has a high rate of fire but low capacity, making it impractical in an extended firefight. If deemed necessary, you can try to convince Medical or Robotics to let you borrow a saw, to turn it into a sawn-off shotgun. The sawn-off shotgun can be stored in your pockets, and has an inventory size of 1x2 tiles (the standard shotgun has a size of 1x5 tiles).
Hand labeler	Can be used to apply labels to objects. Most useful when placing bottles/jugs into the booze/soda dispensers, as the label will be used for drinks listed in their UI. Also useful for organizing containers of premixed drinks in general.
Shaker	A bar shaker. Holds up to 100u of liquid and can be shaken to thoroughly mix its contents (required for some drinks). Additional shakers can be found in the Booze-O-Mat.
Shell box (beanbag) x2	Two boxes containing sixteen less-lethal .50 beanbag shells each. Beanbag shells fire a single projectile which deal 10 damage and can stun targets.

Booze-O-Mat

The Booze-O-Mat is a simple vending machine stocked with glassware, shakers, bottled/canned drinks, and other helpful items.

The Booze-O-Mat's stock is limited, so be careful not to smash your glasses or waste your drinks! If the Booze-O-Mat runs out of stock, you can ask Cargo to order a Booze-O-Mat restock box. Like with other vending machines, you'll need a screwdriver in order to open it up and insert the box.

Booze & Soda Dispenser

Booze and soda dispensers dispense booze and soda, respectively. They come pre-loaded with bottles and jugs containing a variety of basic beverages, and can be used to dispense those beverages into glasses, flasks, shakers, beakers, or other small containers.

You can insert a held container into the dispenser by clicking on it. You can then use the dispenser's UI to dispense any loaded beverage into the inserted container, or eject the inserted container when you're finished mixing. The UI also shows the contents and capacity of the inserted container, allowing you to easily tell if you've mixed a drink correctly.

You can load a held bottle/jug into a dispenser by clicking on it. The Booze-O-Mat contains a number of premade beverages which aren't present in the booze/soda dispensers at round start, so consider loading some of them into the dispenser for later use. Not all bottles can be loaded into the dispenser (for example, Lemon Juice and Milk bottles will not fit into the dispenser), so consider transferring the contents of these into another container (and labelling that container appropriately).

If you plan on stocking a specific beverage in high quantities, consider mixing the beverage in a beverage jug, labeling the jug, and placing it in the dispenser so that you can dispense the beverage on demand. You can also fill labelled jugs with unusual ingredients (such as tricordrazine, uranium, or welding fuel) and place them in the dispenser for easy mixing. Loaded bottles/jugs can be ejected via the dispenser's UI, which is useful for removing empty containers so they can be refilled or disposed of.

Mixing drinks

For the most part, mixing drinks is extremely straightforward; when all the ingredients for a given drink are in the same container, they will automatically mix to create the appropriate drink. Some recipes will additionally require the drink to be shaken (in a bar shaker) or stirred (with a bar spoon) in order to mix properly.

A list of all drinks and their recipes can be found on the Chemistry page.

Serving the drinks

The final step in the drinkmaking process is working out how to serve the drink to your customers. Whilst there is the timeless approach of pouring it out on the floor (and having your patrons drink it from there), most patrons have standards, and would prefer a proper receptacle to drink from. Luckily for you, there are options.

Common drink containers
Name	Capacity	Further information
Metamorphic Glass	30 units	The Metamorphic Glass is the tried-and-true solution for making a good first impression on the wary customer. If a Metamorphic Glass contains any liquid, it will immediately metamorphosize into an appropriate form for its contents - for example, filling it with Tequila will turn it into a Tequila Glass. However, if the Metamorphic Glass contains multiple liquids, it will take the form of whichever liquid it contains the most of - for example, if filled with 20u of Budget Insuls and 10u of Beer, it will look like a regular glass of Budget Insuls. This can be useful to conceal any mystery ingredients within your drinks.
Coupe Glass	30 units	The Coupe Glass is a more refined, timeless counterpart to the Metamorphic Glass. Unlike the modern Metamorphic Glass, the Coupe Glass does not shapeshift based on its contents, leaving an air of dignified mystery as to what its contents may be. Very useful if you want to run a particularly high-class bar, or if you would want to rather conceal any flubbed orders from your patrons.
Shot Glass	5u	The shot glass is the timeless solution to the age-old problem of how to ~~cut costs~~ efficiently serve many customers a ~~truly rancid~~ incredibly innovative flavour experience without them feeling like they have been short-changed by a barely-full glass. It only has enough capacity for a single sip, but this can help you to tempt any passing Security or Command staff into trying out your concoctions - after all, what's the worst that could happen from only 5 units of some unspecified liquid?
Bar Flask	30 units	The Bar Flask is a smaller-capacity alternative to the beverage jug, but it has some RP potential as a high-class takeout drink container for some higher-ranking staff members. Unlike regular glasses, it can be closed, and is a bit more resilent to being dropped. These can be obtained from the Booze-O-Mat.
Shaker	100 units	The lazy bartender's receptacle of choice. Can't even be bothered to spill the contents on the floor for your patrons? Just pass them the whole shaker (and hope that they return it). If your customers manage to drink the whole thing - that's their problem.
Beverage Jug	150 units	Very few bartenders will actually give one of these prized possessions to their customers - generally preferring to fill these up with premixed drinks (to use as ingredients in other drinks), or other raw materials. Like the Bar Flask, these can be closed to avoid spills. Two of these can be found in the Booze-O-Mat.
Bucket	250 units	For some bartenders, the almighty Bucket is their vessel of choice as they explore the further reaches of experience. The Bucket is very rarely given to patrons, but is a very useful tool for storing large batches of certain drinks, and can refill empty glasses in a flash. Some bartenders can also be found using the bucket as a cauldron for mixing together some truly indescribable combinations of flavours and effects (taking advantage of the very high capacity to allow plenty of ingredients to make it into the final drink), which can be a great conversation piece. Just don't spill it.

Getting Supplies

Hydroponics can supply you raw ingredients such as tomatoes.
- You get a healthy supply of certain juices in your machines - but most plants will need to be grown by Botany and subsequently juiced using a grinder.
Medical can supply you tricordrazine.
Pills can be turned into liquid at several machines, however, they have limited capacity. Try lending a Drinking Glass to the Chemists instead.
Suspicious Pills from maintenance lockers can be dissolved in water, potentially granting some particularly exotic ingredients.
- Grab a Metamorphic Glass from the Booze-O-Mat, put 5u of water in it from the nearest sink, and then drop the Suspicious Pill into the glass to turn it into a usable cocktail ingredient.
The Chef can supply you with milk if they have a Cow.
Cargo can provide unconventional ingredients such as Gold, Plasma, and Uranium - if you can convince them to spare you some.
Noticed a puddle of particularly interesting floor juice? You can use your damp rag (or a syringe) in order to harvest the forbidden cocktail (unless the Janitor beats you to it).

Things to keep in mind

You have a shotgun.
- Don't be afraid to use it if someone is disturbing the peace.
- Make sure to know whether you have lethal or less-lethal rounds loaded.
Cooperate with the Chef.
For more complicated drinks, you might require supplies from other departments.
- Don't be afraid to ask your fellow crewmates to deliver you whatever you might need for that special beverage!
Don't be afraid to refurbish the bar to your (or the crew's) liking, and add a couple fancy things within reason.
- You could add a stage with a piano, a couple of extra tables with chairs, or conveyor belts for food.
Particularly savvy bartenders can use a bucket to brew larger or more precise amounts of drinks.
- You can't put it in the dispenser, but you can pour things into it, and fill glasses from it.
Don't forget to have fun!
- Play chess with your customers!
- Host a boxing match!
- Play live music via a MIDI instrument!
- Get everyone drunk!
- Create an incredibly cursed ultra-cocktail combining many individual cocktails together into a single overwhelming liquid smörgåsbord or flavour (and bask in the aftermath)!
- There are numerous things to do, and you needn't only focus on making drinks.
