Stardew Valley Player Builds the Stardrop Saloon in a Shed

A Stardew Valley creator found inspiration in their featureless shed and decided to rebuild the Stardrop Saloon inside of it. The creation is surprisingly faithful to the Stardew Valley town watering hole, even bringing a touch of the bar’s regulars into the recreation.

Stardew Valley‘s Stardrop Saloon is run in town by Gus, and acts as a meeting place for nearly everyone in the town. Outside of day-to-day visits for dinner and a drink, NPCs also congregate in the Stardrop Saloon in times of unexpected crisis, making it something of an unofficial disaster shelter. This recreation, though, looks like it focuses on the more pleasant times.

Stardew Valley fan Alarmed_While7963 has shared their recreation of the Stardrop Saloon that they made inside a shed on their farm. Though the shed inherently has less room to work with than the actual saloon, nearly all of the features one would think of being mainstays in the real location are present. The bar, seating areas, and even the Stardrop Saloon jukebox are all included. But to make it particularly homey, the player added mannequins dressed up as some of the most frequent faces seen at the Stardrop Saloon, like Pam, Shane, Gus, and Emily, to name a few.

Stardew Valley Players Have Mixed Reactions to Recreation

While the general consensus seems to be that the recreation is well-done, it seems that many fans are also a little creeped out by some elements. Alarmed_While7963 mentioned that their inspiration for recreating the space was so that their in-game husband, Shane, wouldn’t have to go all the way into town to visit the saloon. However, some have pointed out that this inspiration sounds a little weird, and several others have noted how seeing Stardew Valley‘s mannequins set up in the saloon remind them of the film I Am Legend, where the main character places mannequins to make the apocalyptic world feel a little less empty.

The one thing that’s really missing from their recreation is the arcade machines that can be found in the adjoining room of the actual saloon. However, Alarmed_While7963 pointed out that they haven’t been able to beat Journey of the Prairie King and Junimo Kart, which is the only way to get the arcade games for one’s own home or farm structures. It’s well-known that these two games are difficult, though, and the shed Stardrop Saloon is otherwise an excellent recreation. It would be interesting to see additional important places recreated in sheds, like Pierre’s general store, Willy’s fishing shop, or even the clinic.

You’ve inherited your grandfather’s old farm plot in Stardew Valley. Armed with hand-me-down tools and a few coins, you set out to begin your new life. Can you learn to live off the land and turn these overgrown fields into a thriving home? It won’t be easy. Ever since Joja Corporation came to town, the old ways of life have all but disappeared. The community center, once the town’s most vibrant hub of activity, now lies in shambles. But the valley seems full of opportunity. With a little dedication, you might just be the one to restore Stardew Valley to greatness!
