Smash/Cut

Smash/Cut is a dance club owned by the EDM band URBIS, and frankly, the place would have closed completely if it wasn't for the fact that URBIS are propping it up with their royalties. This isn't because Smash/Cut is unpopular. To the contrary, it is one of the most popular nightspots in Night City. No, it's because most clubs and bars make their profits off alcohol sales and Smash/Cut's main clientele are drugged-up neo-ravers.

The interior decor is perfunctory, with a few desultory chairs and tables arranged around an immense dance floor. 360 degree wraparound vidwalls and holoprojectors in the ceiling and dance floor combine with strobe lights and mirrors to create an atmosphere described as "an armoured truck having sex with a neon sign"

You do not go to Smash/Cut to talk, as most conversations are inaudible under the loud dance beat. You go to Smash/Cut to dance, and to have casual sex with people you haven't spoken to. The staff at Smash/Cut are trained in American Sign Language to communicate quickly in a crisis, and many of them have dazzle compensation in their smart glasses or cybereyes. Noise cancelling earplugs are standard issue.

Signature Drink: None, but the bar always has energy and isotonic drinks available for the thirst neo-ravers, at 10eb per 20oz bottle.
