The Zho Killer Dance Party Club plays an odd mix of rad fad music of the moment usually consisting of something that sounds vaguely (to the 20th century ear) like a mix hardcore punk mixed with rad techno in a blender with a heavy dose of bubblegum disco lyrics. It makes your ears bleed your feet tap and your mind turn completely off.
Heh heh! I like, I like, I like! </font>[/QUOTE]The fine restaurant Vland's Noble Poser Bar and Grill plays neatly regimented clips of Vilani orchestra music so blindingly precise and boring that bonuses are given to diners for not falling asleep during their dinners. Its a favorite of high-level execs from the megacorps and low-end nobles trying too hard to look cultured.
Just recently, use to play an Imperial Vargr about two years ago.
Can't even remember his name but I have the urge to dig out the stats off this old computer I have in storage just so I post in the Tell my about your character thread.
He was great. Hot shot pilot with an attitude but a very conservative attitude toward combat an other non-thrill associated forms of danger. He was the one who was always covering the human's back when they charged forward to do something silly. I distinctly remember the human who was the Shaggy to my Scooby always getting into trouble. My constant refrain was a big sigh and the words, "Ok, I follow behind him looking out for trouble."

Sounds like a place I once frequented outside of Fort Polk...
But that was in the 80's so it's probably gone now.
GARDEN OF PLEASURE: A domed exotic resort/nighclub/bordello featuring many open air theme rooms (Jade Falls-watrefalls, Arden-forest, Nightfall-total darkness lit by artificial stars, etc.,). Run by the Garden Society, a guild of courtesans. Most famed live entertainment is the Mheirchalla, an acrobatic exotic dance where the dancer performs while being attacked by laser drones.
HOTEL DEATH: Owned by the Boertin Baronial Family. Excellent food & 7 dueling rooms, including the deathmaze.
CASTRRIAL: Exotic casino/bordello run by Ferg Thyuil, an Vargyr ex-corsair. Caters to the pirate/merc crowd.

Mama Mangiotti's Eyetalian Eatery-- (Post IW era) Founded by a ship crew whose luck had run out, Mama M's began its life as a freighter in the startwon district. Actually, it began in the hull of an engineless freighter in the starport mothball yard. Mama M's serves genuine Italian dishes with lasagna being a specialty. After several attempts (and near fatal poisonings) the cooks at Mama Mangiotti's was able to produce a pseudo lasagna dish that was palatable to the Vilani populace. Mama M's is seen as rapidly becomming a neutral meeting place for both the Solomani and Vilani populations. Whether this level of detente lasts is another story.
Geurilla Burger-- Geurilla Burger began its life in the Carribean region of Terra and quickly spread to nearby worlds. THe classical decor (Corrugated steel walls, pictures of archaic revolutionaries, mosquito netting, and sandbagged defensive positions) would lead one to believe Geurilla Burger resturaunts to be a hotbed of revolutionary activity on whatever planet it arrives. However, due to the obvious revolutionary ideal aspoused by the decor, the closest thing to 'rebels' people will find are the waitstaff (dressed in geurilla-style green camo) and the occasional Solomani ex-patriot willing to tell tales of the 'good ol days'. RUmors of Ine Givar recruiters are completely false. Geurilla Burger serves a wide assortment of standard Solomani dishes that range from meatburgers and rice to fried manana mash and pinto beans.

Heaven's Gate Bar, located just under the impressive golden spire of the 200-story, Himmel Dach building, in
Excalibur's crosstown business cluster (hi-rise section).
Strictly jacket & tie crowd, it's the setting where the infamous "Beautiful Bounty Hunter" Harmony Frost, kidnapped
a local bigshot with a price on his head, from the men's room. While there with a friend, she waited until he went to
the bathroom with his bodyguard, who checked first then waited outside. The ladies room was next door, separated
by a wall; however she'd pre-positioned a pair of false fire extinguishers in each room and simply sprayed the wall with
the viral solvent each contained; a particular effective product the scouts and navy use to rescue people trapped inside
starships. She literally caught him with his pants down. Then used her stunner, and the second extinguisher to cut an
escape route, where her Rolen Politesse (see T4 Central Supply Catalog) was waiting via auto-pilot.
She then called back and asked her date to retreive her silk pumps from the ladies room where she'd forgotten them.
Imagine you're the bodyguard and entering the restroom and finding a gaping, windy hole to the outside clouds...

RESTAURANT DISTRICT
GRAM STARPORT SUBURBS
1 HOUR 45 MINUTES LATER
The Hungriges Geflügel had a reputation for preparing scrumptious chicken recipes, as well as maintaining an intimate atmosphere. Jothar Blau, a friend of Tredway's and a private investigator New Frontiers employed on occasion, had confided to Stalen, that five out of six of his infidelity cases dined there.
"Order the Huhn Gaspar and bring a wide aperture lens" had been his recommendation. Tredway was finally happy he could utilize his friend's wisdom, despite not having infidelity in his heart. Same concept, different organ.

Sorry I had to revive this thread out of cold sleep. It was exactly what I was thinking about since I was reading Larry Niven's Draco Tavern stories. The Draco tavern is located in Siberia, near the Mount Forel spaceport.
The Chatsubo was a bar for professional expatriates; you could drink there for a week and never hear two words in Japanese."
Excerpt from Neuromancer, by William Gibson
The Chat is a great description of a bar on the edge of a port, not really part of the city proper (Chiba).
You could score a lot of illegal drugs in this place.

Bar near Spinward Salvage Compound on Efate.
Has amazing resemblance to Earth bar in Az. Though I don't recall the Earth bars short, stocky 5'0 waiter having what appears to be temporal flashes adjacent to him if looked at the right (wrong?) way as he moves about. I do know the Efate locals say "Oh, he always does that."

There used to be a place called "The Down-port", a play on the term used in Traveller for the ground portion of a starport. Not really seedy nor high class. It was just a place where our characters met other patrons.

"Oh, he always does that." :rofl:
Been poking at the Megatraveller 1 computer game, the adventure starts off at "the famous Three Aces Tavern" on Efate, didn't get to look around too much because my crew got into an immediate firefight with a bunch of hired thugs and we had to make a run for it. Supposedly there is a casino floating to the north of the city on anti-gravity.
