It became immediately obvious that this place is clearly for the Corpo nightlife, for those who want to let it all out with fancy shiny clothes to dazzle everyone else on the dancefloor. This bar can be found in Little China down the road from Afterlife. In an instant, I felt like an exclusive member of society. Not even the two bouncers outside the building tried to stop me.
The moment the doors opened I was able to walk in as if I belonged. For me though, with my street smarts, I simply waited for the door to open as a partygoer left. Riot is an exclusive club in Cyberpunk 2077, and one you’ll need to gain access to by earning your way in. Chilling with a Jackie Welles as you listen out for opportunities to grab hold of. Regardless of the rubbish toilets and overall vibe, I didn’t enjoy my time in Afterlife, but it’s no doubt the popular place for Streetkid’s to be.
There’s also a lot of backrooms to explore, but they’re relatively dull and empty, mostly there for you to explore and pick up some extra junk to sell or dismantle.Įven the toilets looked awful, puddles across the floor and a general unkempt feel to them, as if the cleaner got lost in the maze of corridors. The trouble with Afterlife is that it’s probably too big, with its main areas being nothing more than cluttered and cold corridors. It’s certainly a unique touch, but one I’m not entirely sure I understand the meaning behind. Instead, it seems to be more of a place to kick back with a drink, talk, and watch the naked dancers in large tubes filled with water. The music pounds through the corridors which give it that club vibe, but there’s not really a place to party. The Afterlife boasts a green hue mostly, a large bar, and plenty of booths for hanging with friends. It’s also a place of life which is ironic given it used to be a morgue, but you can expect to see a lot of people enjoying themselves here. A drink that he hopes would be named after him in the future - there’s a spoiler here but I’m not saying it. It’s also the venue where he orders his Jackie Welles special a shot of vodka on the rocks, lime juice, ginger beer, and a splash of love.
You’ll recognize this venue in Little China as the one you visit with Jackie early on in Cyberpunk 2077’s story as the build-up to The Heist. It’s Night City, after all, it’s not a “pretty” place. Be prepared for mentions of wine snobbery, an accidental golden shower, and more.
So if you’re wondering which of the bars were the best in Cyberpunk 2077 based on my personal opinions of them, then get reading. So while there are hidden bars, such as one I found at the Jig-Jig Market with a load of Joytoys, or the one with an exhausted bloke who sells you dark chocolate, those aren’t included. The list of bars below are ones that were highlighted on the map of Night City. But there’s a range of bars that are marked on the map, so I decided to venture off and get a drink at each one, soaking the atmosphere of Cyberpunk 2077 in and ranking these bars from worst to best. It’s a place where you can grab a bite to eat, grab some new clothes, get laid, and more. Night City of Cyberpunk 2077 is a busy metropolis with many places tucked away from main roads, elegant marketplaces with dildos, crowded plazas with trash, and urban hideaways that seep with sex.
