All Bars in Starfield (Locations, Inventories, Crew Members)

Navigating the vast expanse of Starfield can sometimes be daunting, especially when pinpointing essential and intriguing locations like Staryards, Showrooms, shops, and, notably, bars. Bars in the game are not just visually captivating with their unique aesthetics, but they also serve as vital social hubs. These establishments are ideal for gathering the latest gossip, recruiting crew members, or enjoying a drink or meal.

To enhance your Starfield experience, I’ve compiled a comprehensive guide to the galaxy’s bars, their inventories, and named crew members you can recruit. This guide will not only help you locate these cosmic watering holes but also give you a glimpse into the unique character of each establishment, making your interstellar journey even more immersive and enjoyable.

The Viewport (New Atlantis)

While modest in size, the Viewport bar boasts a chic and sophisticated design. Its prime location, just a stone’s throw away from New Atlantis’ Spaceport district, adds to its appeal. Initially, the inventory might seem unremarkable, but there’s an intriguing twist: by undertaking the Distilling Confidence side mission for the bartender, Nissa Marcano, you can unlock Supernova as part of the menu. This, of course, requires a bit of savvy maneuvering and networking with UC Sec.

Recruitable Named Crew Members:

• Marika Boros: Shotgun Certification (Rank 1), Ballistics (Rank 2), Particle Beam Weapon Systems (Rank 1)
• Gideon Aker: Ballistic Weapon Systems (Rank 2), Missile Weapon Systems (Rank 2)
• Simeon Bankowski: Sharpshooting (Rank 1), Sniper Certification (Rank 2), Marksmanship (Rank 1)

Jake’s (The Well, New Atlantis)

Nestled in The Well of New Atlantis, Jake’s is easily accessible by taking the cargo elevator at the MAST building to descend to The Well and then turning right just before the Med Bay. While it may not boast extravagant features, the bar distinguishes itself with a selection of unique culinary offerings on its menu alongside a comprehensive array of classic bar staples. This blend of the familiar and the novel makes it an appealing spot for both regulars and newcomers alike.

Recruitable Named Crew Members:

• None

Broken Spear (Cydonia, Central Hub)

Broken Spear, run by Jack, is among the initial destinations in Cydonia, on Mars, which you will visit during The Old Neighborhood while searching for Moara Otero. This setting harmoniously complements the desolate feel of the planet, making it an ideal gathering spot for a diverse array of visitors, including Phill Hill, whom you can talk to for the Top of the L.I.S.T. side mission. While frequenting this locale, you might find yourself amidst some clandestine dealings or come across various job opportunities, adding an element of intrigue to your visit. Here, you will also make your first contact with Adler Kemp during Deep Cover and find a Burden of Proof evidence.

Recruitable Named Crew Members:

• Andromeda Kepler: Outpost Engineering (Rank 2), Piloting (Rank 1), Aneutronic Fusion (Rank 1)
• Moara Otero (after The Old Neighborhood): EM Weapon Systems (Rank 2), Marksmanship (Rank 2)

Jack’s Inventory (Broken Spear)

The Sixth Circle (Cydonia, Central Hub P2)

The Sixth Circle is a bar with many Starfield lore surrounding it, as it’s operated by the former member of the “Red Devils,” Lou Saavedra. You will probably first visit The Sixth Circle while pursuing Percival Walker in Delivering Devils. At the same time, you will find pictures of former Red Devils members behind the bar, including Hadrian Sanon’s. The bar is in the Central Hub’s P2 in Cydonia, accessible from the elevator close to Cydonia’s Trade Authority outpost.

Recruitable Named Crew Members:

• None

The Hitching Post (Akila City)

The Hitching post is located in the Cheyenne system in Akila City, on planet Akila. Its cowboy feel captures the eye as you enter the city through the main entrance (you will find it on your right side). Jaden Ross runs the Hitching post, while you can recruit two named crew members here.

Recruitable Named Crew Members:

• Rosie Tannehill: Medicine (Rank 1), Wellness (Rank 3)
• Omari Hassan: Shield Systems (Rank 3), Starship Engineering (Rank 1)

Jaden Ross’s Inventory (The Hitching Post)

The Rock (Akila City)

The Rock is the Freestar Rangers’ HQ at Coe Plaza, straight ahead of Akila City’s main entrance, where you will meet Emma Wilcox to start the faction mission “Deputized” and become a member of the Rangers. Among The Rock’s multiple amenities, you will find a bar operated by August Bowen. You will also find the Freestar Rangers’ Mission Board inside the bar.

Recruitable Named Crew Members:

• None

Aggie’s (Akila City)

Akila City offers a variety of bars, and this cozy establishment in The Stretch section of the city (accessible from the stairs close to Coe Heritage Museum) is a more intimate option. It showcases Akila’s Western-style charm with several small tables and a central pool table. While Aggie’s maintains a low-key ambiance without extravagant frills, its simplicity adds to its inviting and down-to-earth character. The named crew members Ezekiel and Lyle Brewer are available for recruitment in Aggie’s.

Recruitable Named Crew Members:

• Ezekiel: Scavenging (Rank 1), Energy Weapon Dissipation (Rank 2), Shield Systems (Rank 1)

Astral Lounge (Neon)

The Astral Lounge in Neon’s Trade Tower stands out as a premier destination among the bars in Starfield, renowned for its impressive size and captivating atmosphere. This establishment is a spectacle of entertainment, notably featuring dancers in exotic alien costumes that animate the dance floors, often amusing patrons to the point of laughter.

But the allure of the Astral Lounge extends beyond its visual and entertainment aspects. It’s a place where players can freely purchase Aurora, a coveted drug in the game, which is only legal in Neon. Additionally, the lounge offers a variety of unique and original treats, providing an opportunity to indulge in the diverse culinary delights of the galaxy.

Recruitable Named Crew Members:

• Mickey Caviar: Gastronomy (Rank 1), Wellness (Rank 2), Incapacitation (Rank 1)

Boone Morgan’s Inventory (Astral Lounge)

Euphorika (Neon Ebbside)

Upon entering Euphorika in Neon’s Ebbside, its understated facade may not immediately impress. However, delving deeper reveals its hidden allure, especially for those ready to invest 5,000 credits to access the VIP Members Lounge. This exclusive area, bathed in dim, red lighting, exudes an eclectic and atmospheric charm. It serves as a secluded haven for those seeking to indulge in Aurora or savor the bar’s signature Chimera drink away from the bustling ambiance of the main Astral Lounge. You will also visit this bar during the Mob Mentality side mission.

Recruitable Named Crew Members:

• Dani Garcia: Chemistry (Rank 1), Robotics (Rank 2), Energy Weapon Systems (Rank 1)

Myka’s Inventory (Euphorika)

Kyu’s Inventory (Euphorika VIP Lounge)

Madame Sauvage’s Place (Neon Ebbside)

Neon is a place where subtlety takes a backseat, and this is particularly true of its vibrant bar scene. Madame Sauvage’s in Neon’s Ebbside stands out with its dazzling neon lights in vivid shades of blue and green and its expansive two-level seating arrangement. Unique among Neon’s bars, Madame Sauvage’s doesn’t serve Aurora. Still, it more than makes up for it with its exclusive specialty, Velocity – a beverage you won’t find anywhere else and require for the side mission Fueling Greatness. Additionally, this bar is the headquarters of Neon’s Strikers gang, so you will visit it for The Audition, Display of Power, and The Showdown side missions. You will also visit the bar during the Superfan side mission.

Recruitable Named Crew Members:

• Sophia Grace: Stealth (Rank 3), Lasers (Rank 1)

Madame Sauvage’s Inventory (Madame Sauvage’s Place)

Lizzy’s Bar (Gagarin Landing)

Lizzy’s stands out as a uniquely captivating spot on the list, thanks to its exclusively outdoor setup, replete with an abundance of tables and pool tables for a relaxed ambiance. The bar boasts a more extensive selection than many of its counterparts, providing a variety of food and beverage choices. Additionally, Lizzy Ajello is renowned as the go-to source for the latest gossip about Gagarin Landing, making her establishment not just a place for drinks but a hub of local news and chatter. You can also start the “Sure Bet” side mission by talking to her.

Recruitable Named Crew Members:

• Jessamine Griffin (after you side with UC Sysdef during Eye of the Storm): Theft (Rank 1), Ballistic Weapon Systems (Rank 2), Concealment (Rank 1).

Lizzy Ajello’s Inventory (Lizzy’s)

Brown Horse Tavern (New Homestead)

The Brown Horse Tavern is situated in New Homestead on Titan, Saturn’s moon in the Sol System, which boasts freezing temperatures. Its warm, inviting interior exudes a cabin-like atmosphere, offering a comforting refuge from the harsh external environment. Here, patrons can explore a range of delectable culinary delights alongside their beloved classic dishes, ensuring a satisfying experience for both adventurous and traditional palates.

Recruitable Named Crew Members:

• None

Unnamed Bar (The Den)

Situated within The Den star station in Chthonia’s orbit in the Wolf System, this unnamed bar, owned by a retired UC soldier, Orval Romack, offers a unique oasis in an otherwise unremarkable setting (unless you are into contraband smuggling or you are here for The Boot side mission or in search of The Warlock for The Devils You Know). While The Den may not boast many attractions, this bar fills a significant void, providing a much-needed social hub in the station. Despite its somewhat understated ambiance, the bar features a standard array of offerings, including a variety of drinks and food options, catering to the everyday needs of its patrons. You can also start the “Winning Hearts and Minds” side mission by talking to Orval Romack.

Recruitable Named Crew Members:

• None

Orval Romack’s Inventory (Unnamed Bar)

Pit Stop (Hopetown)

One of the most spacious bars in Starfield, the Pit Stop doesn’t have much more to offer besides its drinks, as there are neither named nor nameless crew members you can recruit here. However, you can find another piece of Burden of Proof evidence here. The Pit Stop is accessible from Hopetown’s spaceport entrance on planet Polvo in the Valo star system.

Recruitable Named Crew Members:

• None

Sal Rickman’s Inventory (Pit Stop)

The Last Nova (The Key)

The Last Nova, located aboard the Crimson Fleet’s star station, The Key in Suvorov’s orbit in the Kryx system, seamlessly integrates into its surroundings with its striking red lighting and bold decor. This bar is exclusively accessible to members of the Crimson Fleet and offers a unique gathering spot. However, aligning with the UC means relinquishing access to this exclusive locale. Engaging with the bar’s brooding bartender, Bog, not only initiates the side quest “Reclaiming the Past” but also unveils a selection of unique items on the menu, adding an extra layer of intrigue to your experience. This bar features music from a Polish black metal band called “Starfield.”

Recruitable Named Crew Members:

• Jessamine Griffin: (while being a member of the Crimson Fleet pirates): Theft (Rank 1), Ballistic Weapon Systems (Rank 2), Concealment (Rank 1).

Bog’s Inventory (The Last Nova)

Chez Simon Bar (Paradiso)

Paradiso stands out as the quintessential getaway planet, and its bar, Chez Simon Bar, run by Simon Taillandier, wonderfully encapsulates this holiday essence. Perched on the rooftop terrace atop the main resort building, Chez Simon Bar dazzles with vivid neon lighting and lush tropical decorations. As one of the most expansive bars in the game, it boasts ample seating and even includes a live stage and dance floor, enhancing the lively atmosphere and making it a prime destination for relaxation and entertainment. The bar is easily accessible from the main elevator in the building’s lobby.

Recruitable Named Crew Members:

• None

Simon Taillandier’s Inventory (Chez Simon Bar)

Red Mile (Red Mile)

Red Mile on Porrima III in the Porrima system is a haven for smugglers and other notorious figures in the Settle Systems, featuring the only Ship Services Technician outside The Key who can install Scan Jammers and Shielded Cargo Holds to your spaceship, Lon Anderssen. As you would expect from such an establishment, there is also a bar in the middle, but you won’t find any recruitable named crew members here. While at Red Mile, don’t forget to run the Red Mile, a quite unique “sport.”

Recruitable Named Crew Members:

• None

Sati Chandra’s Inventory (Red Mile)
