Lounge

Lounges, represented by martini glass icons on the map, are the highest class of juice-selling venue but also the most exclusive. Every lounge has a bouncers and the price of food and drink is notably expensive.

Lounges open at 2 PM and close at 2 AM the next day, making them the first juice-selling venues to shut their doors at night. All lounges feature stages for bands to play on at gigs.

There are three subtypes of lounge.

• Human and vampire celebrities or anyone willing to pay a small bribe are allowed in the common area of the Japanese-themed Fusion Lounge, which features a dance area and tables for shuffleboard and foosball. Human Sims with at least 3-stars of celebrity status (or §100 to spare) are allowed into the VIP backroom, where the arcade and bubble bar are held.
• The Vampire Lounge is a dark, disturbingly red-decored lounge. As might be expected, vampires are welcome at this lounge just as humans are, so long as they're at least a little noteworthy or can give the bouncer a moderate bribe. Along with a small dance area in front of the stage, the lounge features a chess set on the gallery, a telescope on the balcony, and the urn of an anonymous Sim in the main room. In the basement of the lounge is a crypt containing two coffins, as well as a staircase leading to an alley behind the building where Lotta Greaves is buried.
• As can be expected, the Exclusive Lounge is the hardest venue to get into, requiring a hefty bribe just to enter the main room. The common room is open to Sims as lowly as 2 star celebrities, but only contains a small dance area for entertainment. 5 and even 4 star celebrities are allowed access to the exclusive second storey, where they can enjoy a bubble bar, a hot tub, and a wall-mounted televsion. No amount of money will grant lesser Sims entry to this fabled place.
