The White Rabbit is a bar for misfits, punks, and any other kind of rejects. The clientele is everything from runaways to bikers. This bar opened a few years ago, and neighbors have said it's all been downhill since. Loud music, people wearing eyeliner and rowdy fights are all common occurrences. The bar is owned by a petite young redheaded woman named Lisa-Joe Hampton, or at least that's how she appears to her neighbors. In reality, she's a vampire, and the White Rabbit is a vampire bar. Her bouncers can scan the minds of those who are trying to enter and deny anyone not in-the-know. She uses this to recruit new blood dolls and pets, dangling entry as a carrot and then using her fangs as the stick.
The White Rabbit was made from a gutted Duplex apartment building. Lisa-Joe has restored the original dark Victorian architecture. Several ivy plants have grown on the building's gray walls, so the overall feeling is that of a southern tavern. The second floor has a shallow balcony that can only be reached by a heavy door that leads into the club. Smokers use the balcony when they don't wish to go downstairs. A neon sign has been hung over the entrance to the first floor. A cute white rabbit with innocent eyes stares at you, while a glowing hawk stands ready to strike. The scene represents the battle between man and vampire. One is predator, the other is prey. The windows have all been painted black, and the hatch to the roof has been welded shut by the owner. There's a service door around the back. The bar is right off the street, so you must look elsewhere for parking.
The first floor is a biker bar. Upon entering, and paying a small cover to the vampire at the counter, you'll see a curved bar stretching from one side wall to the back. Every kind of alcohol you can imagine lies on shelves behind it. Several bartenders fix drinks, while heavy rock music runs through a brand new PA. The lighting is dark and sets a mood of danger. Every table and bar stool is made of wood. The bathrooms are on the opposite corner of the bar from the entrance. Two staircases lead to the other two floors. One leads down to the basement and Lisa-Joe's office. The other leads to the second floor. The vibe of the first floor is much meaner and bleaker than that of the second. The people who drink here are veteran tough guys, both human and vampire. Fights are more common in this area, and thus security is tighter as well. Lisa-Joe works in this area when she fears a fight might break out. A pool table can be found in the floor's center and is in constant use. The walls are decorated with license plates from every state, big game animals, horns, pictures of crime scenes, and much more. A wall was recently knocked down and the bar has expanded into the abandoned building next door. A small stage has been erected to bring the alternative music scene Lisa-Joe craves. It fits a band of about five comfortably.
The second floor wears many hats but is primarily a cabaret The upstairs is primarily an open dance floor with a small stage in the back for drag or burlesque shows. A large piano sits on the stage, a happy hour lounge feel opening up selected nights. The lighting is mostly pinks, purples, and blues, and overall the floor is very dark. Booths and tables line the walls and give the patrons relative privacy as they hangout. A small bar is tucked away near the stairs and mostly does wine, beer, and well drinks. This upstairs section caters more to the weirdo than the tough guy, but the whole bar is filled with outcasts. Lisa-Joe likes a rough feel but will break your arm if you attempt criminal behavior in her establishment.
