Chummer's Building / Landmark in Calyria | World Anvil

Chummer's

Chummer's is one of the hottest biker bars in Nuremberg. It's one of the few places where the police can't watch the curfew because the harbour is a no-go area for the women of the police. The club is located in Nuremberg harbour and is especially popular with the gangs of the city.

   

History

Chummer's has been in existence since the 2000s and is one of the oldest independent establishments in the city. Although there have been repeated attempts to bring the club under control or to close it, such efforts have always failed.

There have been no major catastrophes or events that would put the club in a bad light, which is due, among other things, to the security service and the guests who are concerned about their privacy.

Among the vampires of Nuremberg, Chummer's is regarded as a neutral place under the protection of Clan Brujah, facing the mortals, the clan appears as Ghost Riders, a gang that regards the entire port area as its territory.

 

Description

Chummer's follows a relatively wild mix of a dance club and Hollywood-style biker bar in the early 2000s. Chummer's still has this concept today, and only adapts to the passage of time in technology.

The music at Chummer's alternates between recorded hip-hop and dance pieces, from industrial to 90s rock and live music with local bands and solo artists. The main thing in the club is that the music is danceable and serves as many tastes as possible.

Architecture

The club is housed in a former warehouse at the harbour and offers with about 3,000m² floor space and two levels enough space for the dance floor, the bar area and the private rooms, in which various conversations can take place. In addition, there are some rooms that can be rented for a short or longer period of time and are equipped as miniature apartments.

There are two separate entrances to the building, one leading to the club itself and the other to the area with the rooms for longer stays. The club itself is divided into the dance area and the bar area. In the dance area, there is a stage, a smaller mobile bar, the dance floor and some smaller tables arranged around the dance floor.

The bar area has some niches, a smaller fighting ring and the large, very well-stocked bar of the club. The niches not only have a table with a group of chairs but can also be completely sealed off and secured against eavesdropping - for a fee. This service is rarely used for the real secret meetings, but rather for talking in peace without curious spectators and listeners.

The second entrance leads to the area containing the rented rooms, where a group can find short-term shelter. There are 10 rooms on each floor, separated by wide corridors. Each room has its own security features, which can be individually switched off, a bathroom and a small kitchen.

 

Security

The bouncers at the main entrance are usually members of the Ghost Riders and not particularly squeamish when it comes to throwing out a troublemaker. They register cybernetic improvements and take the guests' weapons before they go inside the club. The bouncers change every evening, making it much harder to bribe them accordingly. In addition, the policy of the club says that every attempt at bribery is punished with a ban.

Behind the heavy metal doors are the body scanners, where the guests once again get a closer look and notice the used improvements. Improvements suitable for combat are blocked, weapons are locked away in an appropriate safe.

Also the side entrance has a body scanner, even if only the improvements are noted here, but the armament per se is not forbidden. The rooms themselves have a complex access system consisting of a retina scan, fingerprint scanner and magnetic locks that can only be opened with an assigned key card.

Inside, the rooms are equipped with noise generators and various other systems that can guarantee the safety of a team. For a surcharge, the staff of the club will make even more unusual security wishes possible, as long as they are technically feasible.

Something about this reminds me of some of the old Chicago speakeasies! Probably the rules about being banned. Though those were by invite only.   Very cool. :)

Thank you very much! I'm quite happy with this article, but I will add maps in January when I don't have the pressure to keep up with writing ^^
