Key takeaways
- Clarendon St is in Little China, Watson, not a separate district.
- Its main permanent gameplay feature is the Clarendon St fast-travel dataterm.
- The nearby Kashuu Hanten is the location for Regina Jones’s Playing for Keeps gig.
- Kashuu Hanten is a Tyger Claws-run bar and casino, with a front entrance, side alley, back rooms and a locked freezer used during the gig.
- The industrial area west of the fast-travel point is associated with Alec Johnson, the cyberpsycho target in Ticket to the Major Leagues.
- The surrounding bridge, waterfront and industrial locations belong to the wider Little China area and should not be confused with Clarendon St proper.
About this guide
Scope note: Clarendon St is not a district or a large explorable region. In the base game it is primarily the name of a fast-travel dataterm and street-area landmark in Little China, Watson. The surrounding Little China blocks contain several separate locations, missions and facilities that are easy to associate with the marker but should not automatically be treated as part of Clarendon St itself. This guide therefore distinguishes the immediate Clarendon St area from nearby Little China content.

Introduction
Clarendon St sits in the south-western part of Watson’s Little China sub-district, close to the large bridge linking Watson with City Center. Its most important practical function is as a fast-travel point and as a navigation reference for nearby activities, particularly the Gig: Playing for Keeps at the Kashuu Hanten bar and casino. The area also provides a useful starting point for reaching the industrial and waterfront spaces west of the marker, including the location of the Cyberpsycho Sighting: Ticket to the Major Leagues.
Despite the name, Clarendon St is not presented as a self-contained neighbourhood with its own hierarchy, shops district or named residents. It is better understood as a small urban pocket within Little China, made up of road infrastructure, elevated transport structures, commercial frontage and nearby industrial lots. The game’s map uses the fast-travel name as a convenient anchor for several nearby activities rather than as the title of a large territorial zone.
Location and boundaries
Clarendon St is in the south-west corner of Little China, in Watson. The fast-travel marker lies close to the main highway and beneath or beside the elevated infrastructure connecting Watson with City Center. Guides describing the Kashuu Hanten place it near the Clarendon Street marker and under the large bridge leading towards City Center.
The last area should not be described as a Clarendon St sub-area simply because the cyberpsycho guide recommends travelling from the Clarendon St dataterm. One guide places Alec Johnson west of the marker and identifies the site as part of Little China, while another recommends approaching from the north and following the waterfront. That makes it a nearby route destination, not proof that the whole industrial compound belongs to Clarendon St.
The safest working boundary is
| Name | Details |
|---|---|
| Core Clarendon St | the fast-travel dataterm and the immediately adjoining street space. |
| Immediate associated frontage | the Kashuu Hanten building and its alley entrances, when discussing Playing for Keeps. |
| Nearby but distinct Little China content | the industrial and waterfront compound west of the marker used for Ticket to the Major Leagues. |

Roads, routes and access
Fast travel
The Clarendon St dataterm is the most reliable way to reach the location once V has visited it. As with other fast-travel points, it must first be discovered before it can be selected for travel.
On foot and by vehicle
From the marker, look for the major elevated road and bridge structures. The Kashuu Hanten is reached from the nearby street frontage, while its more discreet entrance is down the alley beside the building. The western industrial area is better approached by following the road and waterfront routes rather than trying to force a direct line through buildings or bridge supports.
For Playing for Keeps, the side alley is the tactically useful approach. The front entrance can lead to an open confrontation, whereas the side route allows V to deal with the outside guard and enter the back rooms more quietly.
Directory: named places in and around the scope
Nearby, but not part of Clarendon St proper
The game does not provide a published street-by-street boundary for Clarendon St, nor does it identify a formal Clarendon St neighbourhood authority or sub-area system. The entries above therefore separate the named marker and venue from nearby destinations whose association is primarily navigational.

Overview
Kashuu Hanten is a bar and casino on Clarendon St in Little China. It is run by Keisuke Kagawa, a Tyger Claw. The venue serves food and drink, but its more important role is as an illegal gambling location connected to Regina Jones’s Playing for Keeps gig.
The public-facing bar is only part of the location. Behind it are employee and service areas, including:
The freezer contains the implant that V is sent to recover during Playing for Keeps. A keycard in the back area can be used to open it, although the exact route can vary depending on V’s abilities and the player’s chosen approach.
Named people
Keisuke Kagawa is a resident or operator associated with the venue. Jacob Lamb is a mission-related client rather than a Clarendon St resident. Regina Jones is the fixer for the wider Watson gig network and is not physically based at Clarendon St.
Faction presence
The Tyger Claws control or operate the gambling side of Kashuu Hanten. During Playing for Keeps, the building contains hostile Tyger Claw personnel. Their presence is mission-related and does not mean that every ordinary pedestrian around Clarendon St is a Tyger Claw member.
Functional services
The presence of a bar or casino in the name and scenery should not be used to infer a full player-facing gambling system. The available evidence confirms the venue’s fictional function and its gig layout, not a separate repeatable casino activity.
Kashuu Hanten should be classified carefully
| Feature | Status |
|---|---|
| Bar and food service | Functional venue |
| Casino or gambling area | Functional in the location’s fiction and mission context |
| General player gambling activity | No independently verified permanent player service |
| Restaurant interior | Enterable |
| Back rooms | Enterable, especially during Playing for Keeps |
| Freezer | Mission-relevant locked container |
| Purchasable property | None verified |
| Ripperdoc or vendor service | Not verified |
Gig: Playing for Keeps
Playing for Keeps is a Regina Jones gig in Watson’s Little China. It is a Search and Recover job involving Jacob Lamb’s lost ocular implant. The gig becomes available after reaching the relevant Street Cred requirement, listed by PowerPyx as Street Cred Rank 1. Its listed rewards are 160 XP, 359 Street Cred and €$1,080.
Mission objective
Recover Jacob Lamb’s implant from Kashuu Hanten and deliver it to the designated drop point.
Stealth or combat
The side entrance is generally the most efficient route for a low-profile run because it avoids immediately exposing V to the full room. The front entrance is simpler if the player is not concerned about combat.
Missability and state changes
Kashuu Hanten is not simply an endlessly reusable mission dungeon. The location’s accessibility can change after the gig. The location reference states that threatening the bartender can make the store permanently inaccessible, so players seeking to revisit the interior should avoid unnecessary hostile dialogue with Keisuke Kagawa once the mission is complete.
The gig itself should be completed before assuming that the implant remains available for general exploration. Community reports also describe cases where the venue becomes inaccessible after the relevant mission state, although those reports are not reliable enough to establish a universal bug or a guaranteed post-mission rule. The practical advice is straightforward: loot and inspect the rear rooms during the gig rather than postponing exploration.
Walkthrough
- 01Go to Kashuu Hanten. Travel to the Clarendon St fast-travel point and approach the bar in south-western Little China.
Walkthrough
- 01Choose your entrance. The main doors are the obvious route, but entering openly can trigger a fight. For a quieter approach, use the short alley beside the building.
Walkthrough
- 01Deal with the outside guard. A guard sits near the side entrance. The nearby vending machine can be used as a distraction with a quickhack, allowing V to approach from behind and incapacitate or eliminate the guard.
Walkthrough
- 01Enter the back rooms. The side entrance leads into the service area. Another guard may be present inside.
Walkthrough
- 01Search for the keycard. The keycard needed for the locked freezer can be found in the rear area. Guides describe it as being in the break room or on a nearby supply cart, depending on how the room is searched and described.
Walkthrough
- 01Investigate the computer if desired. The computer provides context about the venue’s implant-assisted cheating operation. It is not necessary to rely on this terminal to complete the basic recovery objective.
Walkthrough
- 01Open the freezer. Use the keycard or an applicable technical route to access the locked freezer.
Walkthrough
- 01Take Jacob Lamb’s implant. The implant is found inside the freezer area, on the shelving.
Walkthrough
- 01Leave Kashuu Hanten. Exit through the side route or the main building, depending on whether the occupants are hostile.
Walkthrough
- 01Deposit the implant. Carry it to the marked drop point to complete the gig and receive the listed rewards.
Stealth or combat: The location supports both approaches
| Approach | Practical method |
|---|---|
| Stealth | Use the side alley, distract the outside guard, neutralise isolated enemies and search the rear rooms |
| Combat | Enter through the main door or allow the occupants to become alerted, then clear the bar and service rooms |
| Technical route | Use quickhacks and any applicable attribute or perk options to manipulate access and distractions |
Cyberpsycho Sighting: Ticket to the Major Leagues
The cyberpsycho activity associated with the Clarendon St marker takes place in a nearby industrial and waterfront area to the west. The target is Alec Johnson, who uses a heavy machine gun at range and switches to powerful close-range attacks, including Gorilla Arms, as the fight progresses.
A guide places the target north-west of Clarendon St, while another describes him as west of the fast-travel point and recommends approaching from the north around the building near the waterfront. These descriptions agree on the useful navigation point: start at Clarendon St, then move towards the nearby industrial compound rather than searching the commercial frontage around the dataterm.
Investigation items
At the first gate, the scene includes a dead security guard. The following items are reported as available for investigation or collection:
These are associated with the cyberpsycho encounter site, not with the Clarendon St dataterm or Kashuu Hanten.
Combat advice
The exact enemy layout and loot placement may depend on the encounter state and difficulty. The fixed, named part of the activity is Alec Johnson and the investigation site. Ordinary weapons and consumables should not be treated as guaranteed unique Clarendon St collectibles unless confirmed by a location-specific source.
Confirmed named figures
These figures should not all be described as residents of Clarendon St. Keisuke is tied to the local business, Jacob is a mission client, Alec occupies the nearby combat site, and Regina operates across Watson.
Ordinary NPCs
The area contains the expected Little China street population, including pedestrians, service workers, security personnel and Tyger Claw members in the mission venue. No reliable source consulted provides a complete canonical directory of unnamed NPCs, so the ordinary population cannot be listed exhaustively without inventing names or implying fixed identities.
Kashuu Hanten has private criminal security in the form of Tyger Claw personnel. During Playing for Keeps, entering openly or attacking the occupants can turn the venue into a close-quarters firefight.
The industrial site west of Clarendon St has security-related environmental storytelling, including the dead guard found near the entrance during Ticket to the Major Leagues. That does not establish that the whole Clarendon St street is under a permanent police checkpoint or that the area has a special law-enforcement rule.
No verified evidence indicates a permanent NCPD checkpoint, scanner gate or unique wanted-level mechanic at Clarendon St. General Night City crime and police systems still apply, but they should not be presented as a special local feature.
Fixed mission items
The implant is a mission objective rather than a permanent equipment upgrade for V. It should be delivered to the drop point after retrieval.
Collectible status
No confirmed iconic weapon, Tarot graffiti, cyberware reward, purchasable apartment or permanent Clarendon St collectible was identified in the researched sources. This is not proof that no minor loot exists in the surrounding scenery. It means that the verified location-specific material is concentrated on the two activities above.
Clarendon St illustrates one of *Cyberpunk 2077*’s recurring contrasts. The area is close to major transport infrastructure and the corporate-facing City Center connection, yet its most memorable local venue is an illegal casino where a desperate gambler loses an ocular implant. The street’s identity is therefore less about civic importance and more about the collision of transport, commerce, criminal enterprise and precarious urban life.
Kashuu Hanten also reflects how the Tyger Claws operate in Watson. It presents a public business while hiding a more coercive economy behind the bar. Playing for Keeps turns a seemingly ordinary restaurant into a compact infiltration space, with a public front, employee-only rooms, surveillance and a locked object at the centre of the job.
For a compact but thorough visit
- 01Fast-travel to Clarendon St.
- 02Examine the surrounding street, bridge supports and commercial frontage.
- 03Locate Kashuu Hanten and note both its front entrance and side alley.
- 04If Playing for Keeps is active, use the side route and search the break room, computer and freezer.
- 05Complete the gig and deliver the implant before leaving the area.
- 06Return to Clarendon St and travel west towards the waterfront-industrial compound.
- 07If Ticket to the Major Leagues is active, approach from the north and inspect the guard’s body and nearby clues before engaging Alec Johnson.
- 08After the cyberpsycho encounter, search the area for mission evidence and then report the result as required.
