'''The Atlantis''' was the name of a nightclub in central [[Night City]]. For decades, it was the premier hangout for the city's [[fixer]]s, [[solo]]s, and [[netrunner]]s.

In its early years, the Atlantis' reputation was considered anarchistic, reportedly a regular haunt of [[Johnny Silverhand]] and his former lover, [[Rogue Amendiares]]. Over the years, however, the Atlantis changed of decor and tone, becoming more akin to a fern bar. By the [[2010]]s, it was a favorite hangout for upwardly-mobile [[corporate]]s and [[mercenaries]] looking for work.<ref name="2013WTNC">{{RefCP|2013WTNC|8,14-15}}</ref><ref name="Countdown">[[Countdown to the Dark Future]] (#39)</ref>

Over the following years, the Atlantis grew in popularity, becoming a central hub for information dealing, mercwork, and professional favors. With no reputation check to access it, the establishment's patrons were very diverse and wild, with veterans and novices alike. [[Fixer]]s, [[solo]]s, [[corpo]]s, [[media]], [[netrunner]], [[rocker]]s, off-the-clock [[cop]]s, con artists, swindlers, 15-minute celebrities, long-forgotten legends, washed-out pop icons, dream dealers, spies and many more. No matter what kind of reputation you had on the street, everyone was welcomed here. Going inside was easy, but trying to get out unscathed was a different story.<ref name="2020NC">{{RefCP|2020NC|23,37,154}}</ref><ref name="Countdown" /><ref name="CP2077">{{RefCP|2077}} (Club Atlantis Database Entry; [[Never Fade Away (quest)|Never Fade Away]]) </ref>

During the [[Time of the Red]] after the [[Fourth Corporate War]], the Atlantis was included inside a new district in development known as [[the Glen]], aimed to become the new governmental center of Night City.<ref name="CPRED">{{RefCP|RED|311}}</ref>

By the [[2040]]s, Club Atlantis was known for its [[executive]] appeal, with stylized architecture and interiors, and offering a more glamorous, upscale design to patrons.<ref name="CPRED" /> [[Mister Kernaghan]] used to place his [[Night Market]] on two floors of above of the Atlantis This exclusive event was usually set at least four times a year, though Mister K only did so when he had enough items of interest. Only one hundred invitations were given, and it was prestigious enough that luxury vendors wanting to participate dropped anything to be there. [[Danger Gal]] was hired to keep the marketplace secured during the quarterly events.<ref name="REDBLCK">{{RefCP|REDBLCK|144}}</ref>

By the [[2070]]s, the Atlantis had, like much of Night City after the economic collapse, all but disappeared. Its role as the defining haunt for solos and fixers in Night City was replaced by the [[Afterlife (Watson)|Afterlife]], a club ran by Rogue Amendiares herself. Unlike the Atlantis, the Afterlife's admission policy was far more exclusive, and catered primarily to solos and netrunners. Nostalgic old-timers lamented that, as good as the Afterlife scene was, it lacked the wildcard flavor of the Atlantis.<ref name="CP2077" />

In {{CP|2020NC}}, Club Atlantis was described as an expensive establishment decorated in a disorienting style reminiscent of ''[[wikipedia:House of Stairs|House of Stairs]]'': cleverly placed cantilevered stairs, angled mirrors, special effects lighting and animatronics placed strategically on walls and ceilings creating the optical illusion of bar patrons moving against the laws of physics and gravity. It also had a complete bar, a multilevel dancefloor and performance stage.<ref name="2020NC" /><ref name="Countdown" />

In {{CP|RED}}, the Atlantis was described in a similar way; a multi-level club popular for its flashy, avant-garde, and disorienting style, highlighted by moving staircases, mirrored walls, and cool cerulean lighting.<ref name="CPRED" /> [[Mister Kernaghan]]'s [[Night Market]] occupied two floors above the Atlantis. Unlike the club itself, the market was filled with luxury goods, services and cutting-edge decor, offering class and sophistication.<ref name="REDBLCK" />

*In {{CP|2077}}, the Atlantis is physically located in [[Japantown (2077)|Japantown]] during the [[Never Fade Away (quest)|Never Fade Away]] quest. Outside of the memories, the building has no signs and is blocked off by rubble.
