The bell rings, the fire's lit, and the first punters are at the door. Time to open up. Last Orders is a cosy pub management sim. Pour pints, seat regulars, keep an eye on the till — and slowly turn a tired old boozer into the best-loved pub in town. RUN THE NIGHT Serve pints, wine and cocktails as the pub fills up. Every customer shows you how they're feeling — read the room, keep them happy, and they'll keep coming back. MAKE IT YOURS Plan each day from inside your own pub. Hire and train staff, refurbish your fixtures, swap the floors and wallpaper, and unlock new stations like the cocktail bar. Watch the weather roll past the window while the match plays on the telly. BUILD A BUSINESS Balance the books night by night. Stock, wages and rent all matter, and the end-of-night report shows exactly where the money went — every decision is yours to make. PLAY WITH A MATE Run the pub together in 2-player co-op over Game Center. One of you works the bar, the other works the floor. Proper teamwork. FAIR AND HONEST Last Orders is free to play with no ads, no energy meters, no gems and no subscriptions. There is one optional one-off purchase — the Full Licence — which removes the daily night limit and lets you host co-op. Joining a friend's pub is always free. Grab your keys, landlord. The regulars are waiting.
