As a Bartender, you're tasked with providing the Crew new and interesting drinks 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 Booze-O-Mat and Booze & Soda Dispenser. You also receive a trusty Double-Barrel shotgun, loaded with Beanbag rounds, which can help you control rowdy patrons. Beer Goggles can also be worn to display the the hydration levels of visible entities.

Remember to use the Radio to work closely with the crew.

Booze-O-Mat

The Booze-O-Mat is a simple vending machine with glasses, shakers and bottled drinks. You can dispense a couple fancy looking bottles of drinks to set them on the table. Though don't get too lazy and remember to still brew a couple drinks!

This machine can be restocked via a Booze-O-Mat Restock box that Cargo can purchase.

Booze & Soda Dispenser

Booze and soda dispensers dispense booze and soda! They accept glasses, shakers and beakers.

Load a dispenser by clicking on it with a container, open the GUI by clicking it again, and there you go! You can add whatever you want to the glass, similar to how you do it with a Chemical Dispenser. Recipes for more complicated drinks can be found in the in-game bartender guide.

You can also eject the jugs/bottles within the Dispenser, or slot in entirely fresh ones.

Healing Drinks

Getting Supplies

• Botanist can supply you raw ingredients such as tomatoes. You get an unlimited supply of some juices in your machines.
• 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.
• Chef can supply you milk if they have a Cow

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 non-lethal rounds loaded in.
• 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 crew's liking and add a couple fancy things within reason, like a stage with a piano, couple 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.

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 - there are numerous things to do and you needn't only focus on making drinks. Good luck :)
