The Electric Pickle

A crown jewel of Summer City’s nightlife, The Electric Pickle is an unapologetically retro 1980s-inspired nightclub that blends Miami Vice glamour with high-tech hedonism. Patrons are greeted by pulsating neon, walls awash in vaporwave hues, and a haze of fog machine mist that makes the entire club feel like the climax of a forgotten music video. Its interior features a sprawling dance floor, chrome-accented bars, and strategically placed gogo dancer platforms — all carefully curated to maximize sensory overload.

Cocktails are crafted by the club’s signature attraction: an AI-driven robotic bartender capable of mixing anything your heart desires.

Weekly Headliners

  • Friday Nights — Mariselle Live
    Summer City’s reigning pop sensation takes the stage for an intimate yet electric performance. Known for her high-energy sets and suggestive crowd banter, Mariselle’s shows are a weekly pilgrimage for the city’s nightlife elite. Expect an increased cover charge per person for Friday nights.
  • Saturday Nights — Aphrodite’s DJ Set
    The city’s AI matriarch, Aphrodite, transforms the club into a digital temple of rhythm. Expect synth-heavy mixes, intelligent lighting that syncs to your heartbeat, and the unnerving feeling that she’s looking directly into your soul between drops.

Gameplay Features
