Closing at 2 – A Late-Night Bartending Challenge

In Closing at 2, you step into the shoes of a bartender working the late shift at the Lakeside Inn. What starts as a typical night behind the bar soon takes a strange turn as the customers become more eccentric and their drink orders take on bizarre twists. The pressure mounts as you have to balance your bartending skills with quick thinking to serve the increasingly odd concoctions before time runs out.
