Things You Can Do at Stardrop Saloon in Stardew Valley
Aside from getting great meals to replenish your health and energy, you can also have some fun in this place. There are tons of options to choose from if you want to take a break from your farm life and just kill some time for the day. Below are the things you can do in Stardrop Saloon:
1. Enjoy Good Music
Surprisingly, this hangout spot in Stardew Valley offers a relaxing soundtrack that you can listen to whenever you’re bored. These sounds may be from Heart Events, Festivals, or other occasions in-game. Anyhow, you may play these tunes by using the Jukebox.
2. Have Fun in the Arcade
If you’re up for a challenging game then try playing Junimo Kart and Journey of the Prairie King. The first game machine needs a Skull Key to be used while the latter allows you to play it anytime you want.
Moreover, completing the Junimo Kart’s progress mode gives you a special reward which is your own game machine. The same bonus applies to the other arcade machine once you beat all of your enemies.
3. Get Refreshers
Beverages are always available in the Saloon, but if you’re looking for something fizzy– you might be craving a Joja Cola. A single can costs you 75g, which is quite cheap compared to Coffee and Beer. So, you can get this item if you’re on a budget.
4. Unlock Secrets
It’s no surprise that secrets are all over the valley. Here’s another spoiler that may interest you. If you’re at the Saloon, carry a jar of Duck Mayonnaise and situate it on a slightly hidden metal box in the store’s backroom. Once you do this, you’ll receive a piece of furniture known as ??Pink Lemon??
The mentioned item is purely for aesthetic purposes only, and it doesn’t have any significant role in the game. But it does make a good addition to collectors.
