Abyss Bar
| “ | No Refunds! No Refills! No Regrets! |
| — 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 has no effect besides triggering a random dwarf voiceline thanking Lloyd. There is additionally a small bobblehead dwarf on the counter that players can interact with to slap around.
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 Leaf Lover's Special to "cure" the effects of intoxication.
Lloyd
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.

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 |
| Green Barrel | 10 Points | 20 Points | 30 Points | 40 Points |
| Yellow Barrel | 10 Points | 20 points | 30 Points | 40 Points |
| Red Barrel | 25 Points | 50 Points | 75 Points | 100 Points |
| Forge Hammer | Hammer Time (No Score) | |||
| Forge Toolbox | No Score | |||
| The Space Ball | 3 Points | 3 Points | 3 Points | 3 Points |
| Player | No score (but see Achievements) | |||
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.

- Arkenstout and Underhill Deluxe are references to J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit.
- For Underhill Deluxe, the original saying that was in J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit it was: "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.

- 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 mythology, dwarves and elves tend to dislike one another.

- Its name may also be 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.
