Tavern Keeper Launches to Early Access with Overwhelmingly Positive Reviews on Steam with New Trailer

Greenheart Games, which you might know from the highly successful Game Dev Tycoon, has launched a brand-new title: Tavern Keeper. This cosy and chaotic management sim has you taking on a fantasy tavern, and it's been a massive success among audiences.

The team has shared a trailer for the Early Access launch of the game, showcasing some of the chaotic elements of the game, alongside the decoration aspect. Running a fantasy tavern isn't as easy as it might seem, but building up your tavern from the ground up gives you the opportunity to do it your way.

Mixing deep management systems, chaos, and cosy decoration, Tavern Keeper invites players to experience the story narrated by Steven Pacey. Experience the world as you hire staff, meet the locals (which includes common halfling philosophers to immortal elementals, because why not?), and enjoy the narrative of each location.

Here's what you need to know about Tavern Keeper:

• Create your cosy tavern by building, decorating, hiring staff, and preparing the meals. You run everything.
• Prepare for the challenges that await, as you'll need to manage the chaos that emerges. Dirt, heat, noise, fires... your customers will wreak havoc across your tavern, and you'll need to manage it the best you can.
• Unravel a narrative in each of the vibrant locations as you unfold a campaign narrated by Steven Pacey.
• Create everything to your liking with design mode, offering thousands of items for you to place anywhere, or even enjoy using the mini workshop to create your very own furniture and share it online.
• Enjoy the game your way, with many adjustable game settings, game modes, and more.

Tavern Keeper launched on the 3rd of November 2025, but it already has Overwhelmingly Positive reviews with 623 ratings on Steam. It may be in its Early Access stage, but fans around the world have already shown their devotion to the title!

You can pick it up on Windows PC via Steam for £23.99.
