>I popped on down to do the Penumbra thing last month. Never again. The entire clientele had to be shadowrunners, wanna-be's and hangers-on. Probably a few undercover cops and corp spies in there too. If Lone Star had decided to raid the place that night, there would have been a serious shortage of talent in the shadows for months afterwards. In other words, it's time to start finding some new spots. So I recruited a few friends and for the last few weeks, we've had the painful task of finding new clubs, bars and grub spots (otherwise known as restaurants). Many thanks to St. Stan for taking the beer-stained notes we gave him and turning them into what you now see. And of course, thanks to Rage and Jackhammer. You both owe me a beer.

>Okay, I've formatted things in the standardized format you've all come to know and love. As usual, post what you like. We here at Shadowland take no responsibility, blah blah blah...

The Capitol
Night Club Archetype/Vine & Fourth(Downtown)/Janice Kreijicek, Owner/Bias Against Ugly People/LTG#206(55-6567)
Can you say trendy? We knew you could. There's a different club on this spot nearly every year. For the last few months, it's been the Capitol, done up with horrible replicas of Washington DC. Enter through the steps of Capitol Hill, buy your drinks at the Lincoln Monument, wait in line for the bathroom at the Vietnam Memorial, dance around the Washington Monument and hold your secure business meeting in the White House. The clientele tend to be both beautiful and boring and unforgivably trendy.

>I would hate this place, except it's so damn clever. They went all out, even making the doormen look exactly like bad trid versions of Secret Service agents. Trendy it may be, but it also happens to be rather cool right now.
>the Mega-Bite

>Because it's still the flavor of the week (you don't think all that election nonsense a few years back helped at all, eh? It's slipping in popularity a bit though in recent months.), it's almost always busy. Which means it's a great spot for when you need a public meet. It's a good alternative to Penumbra or the Inferno.

The Neon Blue Iguana
Night Club Archetype/7th & Pine(Downtown)/Mark Wellington, Manager/Subtle Bias against Trolls and Orks/LTG#56(22-6585)
Probably the only reason this place has been ignored by shadowrunners has been the predominately corp clientele. Suits reign supreme here. The music is that techno-ambient-trance-jazz stuff, the decor simple (stark white walls and lots of cool blue neon) and the drinks are class. A very good place for meets, very discreet and secure. Just make sure you dress up and don't bring your hardware.

>Actually, a few runners have used the NBI for a hangout for quite a while. Even Johnny Rotten, the fixer, hangs out here. In fact, he's never met their dress code. Doesn't seem to affect business though. Just don't you try the same thing...
>Chrome Executive

>Get in good with the bartender, Biff (yeah, I know...). He overhears all kinds of corporate rumors.
>Job Hunter

Victory
Night Club Archetype/East 27th Street & D Street(Tacoma)/Scott Harders, Owner/No Bias/LTG#5206(16-2319)
A new club, it's only been around for a few months. Victory is a sort of winner's haven; memorabilia from all sorts of victories have been collected. That means an American World War II uniform is right next to a Seattle Supersonics jersey which is right next to a Sioux war shield from the NAN war, which is right next to a campaign poster for President Garrety (remember, that last one that was assassinated). And they all seem to be authentic. And of course, the beer and the munchies are top-flight.

>The owner, Scott Harders, is supposed to be some kind of hermetic. Has some kind of strange Sumerian type of tradition, or at least, that's the rumor.
>Magi Maker

>He's also supposed to be a shadowrunner too. Can't confirm that, but Victory is a good place for meets. I know a few runner mages that hang out there, just looking for biz (or letting biz look for them, I'm not sure).
>Spirit Watcher

Sodom & Gomorra
Night Club Archetype/210th Street & 148th Street(Renton)/Mistress Brenda, Manager/Bias Against Normal People/LTG#16206(40-3467)
What the frag a fetish club is doing in the middle of staid Renton, we don't know. But if you've got a fetish for leather, latex, chains, whips, or any of that, than this is the place to go. Actually, Sodom is the shop on the ground floor, where you can buy, or special order, nearly any fetish item. Upstairs is Gomorra, the club. Loud techno-thrash is the typical soundtrack for the various shows and dance parties that are common.

>Sodom & Gomorra is strictly look but don't touch. You breathe funny on one of the "show girls" you're likely to get your hoop drek-kicked by some monstrous bouncers. And the "show girl" you offended is likely to get a few kicks in too. Trust me.
>Broken Nose

>Speak from experience, eh? Doesn't surprise me. This place is actually pretty good for business. All kinds of discrete transactions occur here and the club just turns a blind eye to it all. Not to mention that damn music is almost like white noise at times.
>The Walrus

>Yeah, if you want to shake up your oh-so-proper corporate Mr. Johnson, but don't want to make him too nervous, meet him here. He'll probably be so distracted and uncomfortable, he's likely to make a mistake or two...in your favor.
>Amused

New Crown Brewery
Medium Size Restaurant Archetype/113th Avenue & Main Street(Bellevue)/St. John Davis, Owner/No Bias/LTG#9206(78-4763)
An Americanized English pub, which means it's better lit, better decorated and serves more styles of beer. Good food that comes in good portions and over 200 different selections of beer to chose from. And not too terribly priced either. The New Crown even brews beer on the premises and usually has three of their own on tap, to go with the 47 other taps.

>Get a wide variety of crowd here, from kids on their 21st, to old beer snobs, to everything in-between. Which means it's a good atmosphere to just hang out. And noisy enough for a bit of biz here and there.
>Al Ale

>If you want to try a pint of New Crown, you have to go to the pub itself. They refuse to make enough to bottle the stuff, only enough for their own taps.
>Lager Lover

The Landing
Small Restaurant Archetype/88th Street & Wharf 103 (Everett)/Richard D'Antonio, Owner/Subtle Bias Against Trolls/LTG#3206(78-9974)
A very good restaurant that sits right on a small wharf on Puget Sound in Everett. On the small side, this family run seafood restaurant serves nothing but natural dishes and many of the items on the menu are brought in by the local fisherman.

>The local community knows that the Landing plays a big part in making sure those fisherman survive the rough times. Which means, for you big bruisers with no manners, don't frag with the Landing or the D'Antonio family. The local fisherman may not be cybermonsters like you, but they're probably tougher.
>Rage

>What a minute! D'Antonio? They might not be the same, but the New York D'Antonios are big time with the New York Mafia. A connection?
>PJ

>I don't know. But it would help explain a few things.
>Rage
