Released 8 October 2026. Back to the changelog. UCP patch notes.
Changes
Fixed: NPC bartenders at venues without their own menu now actually hand over what you order instead of only saying they will.
New: Those bartenders can make any drink in the city, from beer, wine and spirits to cocktails, coffee and soft drinks, plus bar snacks like sandwiches, burgers, fries and crisps.
Fixed: Bartenders no longer say "here you go" before your drink is actually made.
Fixed: Bartenders understand more ways of ordering, like "lemme have", "gimme" and "give her a", plus everyday names such as Red Bull, Coke and whisky, and no longer say "coming up" unless a drink is really being made.
Fixed: Ask for something the bar cannot make and the bartender now says so and suggests something close.
Fixed: Coffee and other hot drinks are brewed in a mug instead of poured over ice, and snacks come from the counter instead of the kitchen.
New: Bartenders now speak to you by name, like /to, so everyone can see who each reply is for.
Fixed: Bartenders ignore requests to change how they talk, and one order no longer charges twice when two drink names share a word.
Balance: Bartenders make at most six items per order, and several of the same drink are made together instead of one /me spree per glass.
Fixed: Bartenders no longer know your name unless you tell them, and their /me lines no longer name customers.
New: Bartenders are friendlier and chattier, and when the bar is quiet they get on with little jobs: wiping the bar, polishing glasses, restocking the fridge, with animations to match.
Fixed: Bartenders never repeat slurs or crude names, and no longer take what customers claim about other people, owners or names as fact.
Fixed: A bartender only says a drink is coming when he is really making it. If he cannot make what you asked for, he says so plainly and names something close.
New: Say yes to a drink he suggests and he makes it. Just naming a drink works too, and so does answering "rocks" or "neat".
Fixed: Premixed cocktails such as the Mojito and Margarita can be ordered by their plain names.
Fixed: Bartenders can no longer be tricked into saying crude things through sound-alike names, spelling, backwards text or "repeat after me". Keep it crude and he will cut you off for a while.
