Our take on Flairtender
Flairtender makes cocktail preparation the main activity rather than treating bartending as a minor setting. Progression comes through recipe work, drink judgments, tips, unlockable bar items, and custom cocktails instead of a conventional campaign structure.
What is Flairtender?
Flairtender is a virtual reality bartending game focused on preparing cocktails and serving patrons.
Players start with simple drinks and progress through more than 60 IBA official cocktail recipes. Drinks receive judgments based on speed, accuracy, and style, with tips funding bar expansion and new items. More than 50 unlockable liquids, garnishes, glassware, and decorations are available. Tend mode brings patrons into the bar to request drinks, while two locations include a Tiki Bar. Players can practice at their own pace, create custom cocktails, disable unwanted cocktails, and play custom . mp3 files as bar music. A low-gravity mode is also included.
