Totentanz (City Center)

The Totentanz (German: Dance of death) was a club located on the top floors of the Burleson Tower in central Night City.
==History==
===2010s - 2023===
When the owner of the bar named it "deathdance," he was not aware how close to reality that name would become. Set on the top three floors of Burleson Tower, the Totentanz became well-known as a place to find boostergangs. They congregated here, but not for the pleasure of dancing. Instead, it was considered a bad night if the body count was less than twenty.
During the early 2020s, this poorly-supervised club was a place where a lot of gang members went to work up some adrenaline before getting laid. The music was loud, the drinks strong, and the patrons rowdy to an extreme. The local ambulance companies no longer made runs here because too many of the casualties of this club couldn't pay their bills. Late at night, groups of boostergangers made trips to Medicross Preservation to finance their next round of drinks. The NCPD let Totentanz stay open for two reasons: one; it killed the punks, and two; the gangs would get very upset if the place got closed down.
===2023 - 2040s===
In 2023, Totentanz barely escaped the AHQ Disaster, but both the club and hotel were badly damaged and abandoned. Soon after, Maelstrom took control of the building, stabilized the structure, and reopened the club.
By the 2040s, the bar was at the edge of then named Hot Zone and was under the firm grip of Maelstrom. It was still well-known as a place to find boostergangs, and the tradition to congregate here not to dance was still going on. As before, less than twenty deaths was a bad night. This time, however, they had the Jesse James' Kosher Deli bar to rival their death tallies.
By 2045 and due to the poor state of Burleson Tower, it was a matter of time before the building collapsed on top of the Maelstromers and their guests. To avoid that, Maelstrom leader Warlock knew they would need a new permanent home for his gang and the club. For that reason he tasked his lieutenant Flenser, who sent people to find a new place for Maelstrom. She had a list with some places in the Watson Development, though she was preferably looking for another hotel. Eventually, this endeavor proved successful and a new Totentanz was opened in an abandoned-under construction hotel in the north of the city.
