I love parties, and I can’t live without having nights out and having drinks, so when I saw this app I completely fell in love with it. Bar Rush is an exciting new game where you get to play bartender in a hot new establishment. At the start of the game, the owner walks you through an interactive tutorial and introduces you to all the basics. After a few mixes, you’re on your own!
To start off your bartending career, you’re tasked to cater to a few customers with orders that are relatively simple to prepare. These are usually drinks that require just one or two mix ingredients – juices, wines, and beverages. You’ll get an increased tip when you pass the correct drink to a waiting customer in less than half the time he or she is willing to wait. When glasses empty, you have a limited amount of time to whisk them away to clean – take note that customers can’t occupy spaces with dirty glasses.
After successfully completing a few nights, you get to serve up drinks that get more and more complicated to prepare. You’ll need a combination of memorizing and time management skills to progress through the game as you learn to mix and shake over forty ingredients to create delicious concoctions!
In addition to the engaging gameplay, there are simple tap, drag, and shake controls. The good graphics and great dance soundtracks add up to make Bar Rush one heck of a good time. As an added bonus, you even get to learn drink recipes while having a ton of fun. Overall, this is a high replay value, challenging app that’s worth every dollar.

Bar Rush brings serious fun to casual gaming. Experience all the action of working behind a real bar as you mix, shake and serve drinks to an array of colorful characters. Serve all your drinks before the clock runs out and you just might collect enough tips to become a Master Mixologist. If you’re too slow, well…you’re fired.
Bar Rush mixes all the elements of popular Time-Management games like Diner Dash and Sally’s Spa with a “Lifestyle Learning” component that actually teaches you the recipes for dozens of popular drinks as you play. From basic beverages to complex concoctions, Bar Rush will challenge your bartending skills with over 80 drinks and 50 ingredients to choose from over 6 levels of increasing difficulty.
Bar Rush’s life-like game play is just like the real thing. After training, the bar is yours, if you can keep up with the non-stop stream of thirsty customers. Select the proper glass and ingredients. Use your iPhone like a cocktail shaker (for select drinks) and serve. But hurry, the clock is ticking and your customers won’t wait forever.
Generate tips by mixing and serving drinks before the clock runs out. The faster you are, the more you make. Post your tip total to the Online Leaderboard where you can view your own ranking and search to see how you fare against your friends.
Vibrant animation and humorous dialog, from the quirky patrons and surly bar manager, ratchet up the entertainment level in a game that’s easy to pick up but hard to put down. But should you have to, Bar Rush automatically saves your place when you take a break or a call.

Bar rush is great, however instead of incorporating user requests into an update, they’ve created a “new” app, Bar Rush Unlimited, and are charging a dollar more. Scummy.
