No Refunds! No Refills! No Regerts!
— Abyss Bar Slogan


The Abyss Bar is a large section on the main floor of the Space Rig. Here you can have a drink with your fellow dwarves, dance to the tunes on the Jukebox or take rounds trying to kick barrels into the Barrel Hoop.

The Bar[]

At the Bar, you can order a drink from the robot bartender Lloyd. A price list is visible on the top left corner of the bar and when talking to Lloyd.

Starting from Rank 3, players are able to purchase Beers from the Abyss Bar. Depending on the potency of the drink and how many are consumed, the player's character may become intoxicated. The effects of intoxication include borders of the screen becoming a wavy double-image, the player's view will wobble around randomly and the player's character will move in random directions of their own accord. These effects will become more extreme if the player drinks more Beer, and if too much Beer is consumed in a short amount of time, the player's character will pass out drunk. If alone the player will respawn in the Infirmary, though if other players are present they will need to be revived - similar to losing all of one's health in a Mission. Either way, the player will wake up sober.

It is possible to enter a Mission while intoxicated, though there is no incentive for doing so besides bragging rights. You will not receive a Hazard Bonus for completing a Mission while drunk.

On the bar's counter players can see a small green tipping device called TIP-C (nicknamed "Tipsy")[1], where they may pay 5 credits to leave a tip. This triggers a random dwarf voiceline thanking Lloyd.

Players who suffer motion sickness are advised to avoid drinking too much, as the effects of being drunk can cause dizziness and nausea. Make sure to drink Blackout Stout to "cure" the effects of intoxication.

Lloyd[]

Lloyd

Lloyd the robotic bartender

Lloyd the robotic bartender seems to be an all-purpose drone similar to Bosco, he wears a hat and bow tie, and is connected to barrels of ale in the ceiling.

By approaching and interacting with Lloyd, he projects a list of the available drinks with descriptions and price tags for you to order from. Upon ordering, as many tankards as there are players in the lobby will emerge, quickly being filled by Lloyd. Then each player can grab a tankard, give a salute and drink.

If the player cannot afford, or hasn't reached the rank requirement to purchase a drink, Lloyd will deny them service. Repeated attempts to purchase an invalid drink will result in Lloyd forcibly removing the player from the Abyss Bar.

Do not make Lloyd angry.

Available drinks[]

Management reminds all employees that contrary to common belief the available drinks do intoxicate dwarves, do have influence on their ability to walk straight and do possess the potential to knock them out.


Craftable and special beers will require brewing materials found in missions in the form of collectible plants: Barley Bulb Barley Bulb, Yeast Cone Yeast Cone, Malt Star Malt Star and Starch Nut Starch Nut.

The Barrel Hoop[]

The Barrel Hoop mini-game is located at the back of the Abyss Bar. Players stand behind a barrel which is dispensed from above, and attempt to kick the barrel into a moving hoop that incinerates barrels, beer mugs and dwarves that pass through it. Scores can be reset via the red button to the right of the game. The player will die if they jump into the incinerator hoop, only to respawn in the medbay afterwards. If the player dies while intoxicated, they will receive an achievement.

Scoring and point values[]

The game consists of four phases, with the first phase active while no barrels have been passed through the hoop.

Upon entry of a barrel, points will be awarded according to the table below.

If the hoop bounces off of the left side twice without a barrel being scored, the phase is reset to 1. Missing a barrel also resets the phase to 1.

If a barrel passes through the hoop within the cycle (from left to right to left), the game will progress to the next phase when the hoop touches the left side, capping out at Phase 4 where the point values are multiplied by 4.

The speed of the hoop can change whenever it touches the left side.

Item Phase 1 (1x Modifier) Phase 2 (2x Modifier) Phase 3 (3x Modifier) Phase 4 (4x Modifier)
Beer Mug 1 Point 2 Points 3 Points 4 Points
Normal Barrel 10 Points 20 Points 30 Points 40 Points

First phase has a 1x point modifier, Second phase 2x, Third phase 3x, and 4th phase 4x. Phases are indicated by the size of the text on the scoreboard located above the moving hoop, although the text size does not increase between phases 3 and 4.

  • Upon drinking the Tub of Elmlea, the dwarf will exclaim “That wasn’t cream! Why do I keep falling for this!?” This is a reference to the common real-world misconception that Elmlea cream substitute is cream.
  • The Abyss Bar has a selection of beers from different breweries and other independent manufacturers.
  • Founders Brewery: BackBreaker Stout, Burning Love, Seasoned Moonrider
  • LongBeard Brewery: Best Wurst Beer, Blackreach Blonde
  • Mountain Dwarves Brewery: Underhill Deluxe
  • The Original: Oily Oaf Brew
  • The Seventh Dwarves Brewery: Blacklock Lager
  • Space Barrels Company: Malt Rockbearer
  • Independents: Glyphid Slammer, Leaf Lover's Special, Smart Stout
  • The Abyss Bar has references to other media.
    • For Underhill Deluxe, the original quote from J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit is: "In a hole in a ground, there lived a Hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole filled with the ends of worms and a oozy smell. It was a hobbit hole.".
    • Blackreach Blonde is a reference to Skyrim's Blackreach, a dwarven stronghold with mushrooms.
    • Flintlocke's Delight is a reference to Fargo Flintlocke, a dwarf in World of Warcraft notorious for causing explosions.
    • Glyphid Slammer's description is most likely a reference to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
    • Lloyd the Bartender is most likely a reference to Stanley Kubrick's The Shining, which features a bartender of the same name.
    • The developers have mentioned on the Deep Rock Galactic Discord that Morkite is an actual ingredient in Dark Morkite beer.
    • Leaf Lovers special is speculated to be made by elves. In mythology, Elves tend to love nature, hence the name leaf lovers. On occasion, Dwarves will say "Pointy eared leaf lover". Elves are known for their pointy ears. To top it off, the dwarves often speak negatively about "Pointy Eared Leaf Lovers". In the recent Fantasy genre, Dwarves and Elves tend to be rivals or enemies.
    • Burning love is a reference to the Elvis Presley song of the same name.
    • The random quote "Reticulating Splines..." is a running gag during loading and/or computing processes that originated in Maxis' SimCity 2000 and has since been widely used in numerous games.
  • Best Wurst Beer is the first holiday beer to be released for Oktoberfest 2022. It is the only beer with a unique animation where the dwarf would dip and stir the sausage wurst inside the beer before eating it.
    • It’s name is a pun which can be read as 'Best Worst Beer'.
  • Drinking a Blacklock Lager, an Oily Oaf, and a Gutwrecker should put you at 99%, 1% short of passing out, but if less than 24 seconds pass from the first to the last drink, you still pass out, more than that and you do not.
  • Sometimes the corporate issue drinks are free. Bug: if you open dialog with Lloyd to order and hover over 'Today's Special' then Alt+Tab to another window, move your cursor, return to the game via Alt+tab the 'today's special' tool tip will follow your cursor until you reset lobby.
