The Afterlife
As the old saying goes "There is only one path in Night City worth walking: the one that leads to the Afterlife." Once you make it here, sooner or later, everything else opens up to you. The Afterlife is an iconic bar where the who's who of mercs and first-rate fixers gather to kick back or conduct biz. It's also a major nerve center for the city. This is place where the biggest deals get cut and the job rewards have the most zeros tacked on. Stop here to spot big names such as Rogue, Dexter DeShawn and that guy who "drank with Morgan Blackhand once"... Speaking of , it's said Blackhand's ghost still wanders the bar, switching off the safeties of customers' holstered guns. Of course, it's probably best to check that out for yourself. That is... provided you've earned enough street cred to get you through the front door.
The Afterlife is a former mortuary converted into a bar and has three different areas, "The Antechamber," "The Crypt," and "Hades", which are all inhabited by hard-drinking, hard-fighting solos who come here to enjoy the atmosphere and the camaraderie. As one delves deeper into the Afterlife, each successive chamber becomes darker and more dangerous, with Hades being filled with the combat veterans who hired out for the highest prices. The Afterlife is best described as a cross between a country-western bar and a motorcycle guild hall. The sound system playing 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 needed to prove themselves; their presence is proof enough. Any brawls are strictly for fun. Although many people come to the Afterlife to hire solos, a larger proportion posts 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. 2045
By 2045, after the Fourth Corporate War, the Afterlife continues its reputation as the premiere solo bar in Night City. Rebuilt in the remains of an old morgue in the Upper Marina, on the outskirts of the Hot Zone, it is now run by the legendary solo, Rogue Amendiares. Every solo in the city dreams of getting a drink at the Afterlife named after them, even if it only happens post-mortem. While a "Johnny Silverhand" can be ordered at the bar, a "Morgan Blackhand" cannot, as no one knows which was the fate of the latter.
