The bar's exterior
Joeyray's Bar, also known as Joeyray's,[1] is a bar on Mar Sara owned by Joeyray.[2]
It is a locals-only establishment, far off the beaten track and situated in one of Mar Sara's most arid and disreputable districts. It holds fame among music circles due to the presence of its jukebox, playing tracks banned by the Dominion. Its exterior structure is of grey-bricks.[1]

The bar's interior
The bar has the following features:
- On the neon sign reading, "JOEYRAY'S BAR," the lights sometimes flickered to read "U PAY RAY" and "PAY UP".[3]
- Marshal Jim Raynor's old badge hung on a wall, along with a Great War-era picture of Sarah Kerrigan, a Viking in walker mode, a Raynor's Raiders poster and a picture of the winners of the Fourth Annual Hydralisk Derby.[3]
- The bar's beverages included Scotty Bolger's Old No. 8 Whiskey,[4] Benson Cognek,[5] Gritton's Single Malt Whiskey, Zacked Absinthe and ZROM Rum.[3]
- A corkboard wall with pinned vidsnaps of Raynor with the crew of the Hyperion, his squad from his days as a Confederate marine, and Kerrigan before her infestation.[6]
- A Nosh brand television and two other screens, which broadcast the Universal News Network. One of these was shot by Raynor,[7] and the cost was put on his tab.[2]
History[]
Raynor drowns his sorrows
Jim Raynor was a patron during the interbellum[4] and was declared its "most famous patron".[8] He used it as his unofficial headquarters for a time and word of his presence spread. Mar Saran Evening Gazette journalist Humbert H. traveled there, hoping to spot Raynor and the bar's jukebox. Dodging the Dominion, he got what he wanted, along with some pranks. Delighted and enthusiastic, he vowed to return.[1]
On the eve of the Second Great War, Raynor used the bar as his command center after watching a UNN broadcast there which prompted him to resume his revolution against Emperor Arcturus Mengsk.[7]
Tychus Findlay also tracked Raynor to the bar.[5] They returned after a mission, only to learn of a zerg invasion; they would have to evacuate.[9] The pair took the bar's jukebox when they left Mar Sara at the onset of the war; it was installed aboard the Hyperion in the cantina.[10]
Raynor and Kerrigan reunited?
Raynor was present in the bar two years after the End War. It was the last time anyone saw him—only his badge was found.[6]
Game Structure[]
Co-op Missions[]
Joeyray's Bar features as the central structure for Tychus Findlay in Co-op Missions. He lugs it from battlefield to battlefield via a Hercules at the start of a match, but it can be rebuilt once destroyed. From the bar, outlaws of the new Heaven's Devils can be recruited from there for a price. When the Outlaws are beaten, they'll escape back to the bar where they will respawn after paying 250 minerals and 25 seconds.[11]
