Afterlife
The Afterlife is a legendary bar in Little China, Night City.
The Afterlife might best be described as a cross between a country-western bar and a motorcycle guild hall. The sound system plays a variety of martial music and Gothic rock, and the closest thing to dancing is the occasional brawl. But this is a pro's club, no one needs to prove themselves; their presence here is proof enough. Any brawls are strictly for fun; no one wants to smear each other, but they do play hard.
Although many people come to the Afterlife to hire solos, a larger proportion post messages on a marquee which circulates proposals throughout the bar. Those who do enter the bar do so at their own risk, and have paid the price in the past.
By 2045, after the Fourth Corporate War, the Afterlife continued its reputation as a premiere Solo bar in Night City, rebuilt in the remains of an old morgue on the outskirts of the Hot Zone, and run by the legendary Solo, Rogue. Every Solo in the city dreams of getting a drink at the Afterlife named after them, even if it only happens post-mortem. However, while a "Johnny Silverhand" can be ordered at the bar, a "Morgan Blackhand" cannot.
History
