Cons:
+ I honestly can not think of any. If you like time management games this should tick all your buttons.

I really liked this game, so I'm a bit frustrated I can't finish it as no matter how hard I try I just can't get the last levels done. Started of easy, become challenging then seemed to be near impossible!
What stands out about this game;
+ The levels menu is repairing the fence on the shop and accomplishing certain feats gives you refurbishments. Nice touch.
+ As there are lots of upgrades available quite quickly you can choose how you want to tackle the game - more expensive potions? Different types of potions available? Choices, choices.

Pros:
+ Lots of levels and good variety of upgrades.
+ Wide variety of customers divided into 2 types - light and dark, which effects what works on them and how they like to be treated. This means you actually need to pay attention to who comes in.

Cons:
+ Whether you finish a level really depends on the luck of the draw - i.e. if you get high paying customer. Even if you serve all customer & get a good tip you can lose because you got mostly the low level cheap customers.
+ The character is so s..l...oooo...w.
+ It's easy to make a mistake and lose a potion because you once you've picked it up from the rune pedestal you can't modify it any further. They have tried to help by giving you a space you can put an extra potion so you can wait till someone orders your mishap (and they always do), but I tended to have the most expensive potion on there to force someone to order it and get the top tip for speed.

Potion Bar is one of my favourite BG games and I tend to replay it every few months.
What makes this game stand out;
+ 1st Person Serving Game (There just aren't enough of these on BG).
+ The characters you serve actually have roles in the story and personalities.
+ Unusual storyline which incorporates some good twists on old myths/legends.

Pros:

+ The Cat was a character I really liked.
+ 2 mini games - a HOG and a place-the-pieces puzzle.
