Lizzie's Bar

Kabuki, Watson

Lizzie’s Bar belongs to Kabuki, not to the whole of Watson. Kabuki is a broader neighbourhood containing markets, residential buildings, side streets, shops, alleys and numerous unrelated activities. The bar occupies one specific building on the Kennedy and Sutter intersection.

The surrounding Kabuki streets are neighbouring space, not part of Lizzie’s Bar. Shops, NCPD events, market stalls and nearby side activities should be catalogued under Kabuki rather than under the bar.

Approaching the entrance

The club is marked by a large neon sign and two bouncers. During the early main-story visit, V must approach them before entering. If the timing is wrong, the entrance may not admit V for the relevant mission. The reliable method is to advance time until evening and arrive between 18:00 and 06:00.

Once inside, the reception space leads into the main club. The entrance is not a conventional shop counter: there is no normal clothing, weapon, food or braindance catalogue for the player to browse and purchase as a permanent service.

Entrance and reception

The reception area is the first controlled space inside the club. The bouncers screen visitors and establish the venue’s atmosphere. It is also where the player receives the basic explanation that Lizzie’s is a braindance venue rather than merely a bar.

This area is mostly transitional during ordinary exploration. Its importance comes from mission gating, the bouncers’ dialogue and the visual introduction to the Mox-controlled establishment.

Main bar and dance floor

The main room contains the bar, seating, club lighting, dancers and the dance-floor area. Mateo Thiago works behind the bar during the early story sequence. V must speak to him to locate Evelyn, although Evelyn and Judy can already be seen nearby if the player looks around before starting the conversation.

The main room is the bar’s public face. It communicates that Lizzie’s is a functioning nightclub rather than simply a gang hideout. There are patrons, staff and ambient conversations, but most cannot be engaged in meaningful dialogue.

VIP and private rooms

Evelyn takes V away from the public room to discuss the proposed Konpeki Plaza job. The private space allows her to question V about Dexter DeShawn and explain the arrangement without the wider club listening.

These rooms are mission spaces rather than a permanent social hub. Their accessibility varies according to the active quest. They should not be treated as a general-purpose hotel, purchasable apartment or repeatable braindance facility.

Basement braindance workshop

Judy’s workshop is the most important restricted area. It contains braindance equipment, editing stations, storage and the technical infrastructure Judy uses to analyse recordings. The official character material describes Judy as operating from the basement of Lizzie’s Bar, which is also identified as Mox headquarters.

During The Information, the workshop is where V learns the basic braindance-analysis process and examines Evelyn’s recording of Yorinobu Arasaka’s penthouse. During later story content, the basement becomes associated with Judy’s investigation into Evelyn and the Mox’s willingness to help.

The basement is not a player-owned workshop. It does not function like V’s apartment, a ripperdoc clinic or a normal vendor. Its equipment is primarily narrative and mission-specific.

Back rooms and staff areas

The club includes staff-only and utility areas that may be visible during missions. Some contain small loot items or environmental detail, but the game does not establish every room as an independently named sub-location. A room’s presence in the level geometry is not, by itself, evidence that it is a shop, office or named business.

Residents and regular staff

The staff list above reflects named personnel associated with the venue. Ordinary club patrons and unnamed Mox members are separate from the named directory.

Visitors and story-associated characters

Evelyn and Judy’s first important scene at Lizzie’s is easy to miss visually. They are positioned near the bar before V formally identifies them. The scene is a useful example of the location’s environmental storytelling: the player is already standing close to the central figures before the objective explicitly names them.

The Mox

The Mox are the bar’s controlling faction. Their identity is rooted in defending sex workers and marginalised people from abuse. Lizzie’s provides the organisation with money, visibility and a secure operational base.

The club’s staff and security should therefore be read as Mox personnel or affiliates rather than as neutral corporate nightclub staff. The Mox are not equivalent to the Tyger Claws, despite the two factions’ historical conflict.

Bouncers and internal control

The bouncers are the most visible security. They control entry and help establish the venue’s rules. During story missions, internal staff and Mox members can also restrict access to private areas.

There is no ordinary NCPD checkpoint or permanent police station inside the club. NCPD activity in surrounding Kabuki is a separate matter. Lizzie’s security is venue-controlled, not a public law-enforcement facility.

Combat and hostile states

Lizzie’s Bar is normally a non-combat social location. It is not an open-world enemy camp with a standard gang-clearance reward. Hostility, when it occurs in or around the venue, is generally tied to story circumstances rather than a permanent enemy roster.

Do not assume that every Mox NPC can be attacked without consequences. Combat in a protected story interior can trigger mission failure, faction hostility or an altered quest state.

The Information

The Information is the bar’s defining mission. V is sent by Dexter DeShawn to meet Evelyn Parker and learn about the proposed Arasaka heist. The mission introduces Judy, establishes the bar’s layout and teaches the braindance-analysis mechanics.

Walkthrough

The mission gives V access to the braindance tutorial and the story information required to proceed towards The Heist. Walkthrough references consistently identify the night-time access requirement and the sequence of bouncers, Mateo, Evelyn and Judy.

Automatic Love

Lizzie’s becomes relevant again during Automatic Love, after Evelyn disappears and V follows the trail to Clouds. Judy and the Mox are part of the continuing investigation.

The mission’s broader locations include Clouds and other parts of Night City, so they should not be included within Lizzie’s Bar’s geographical boundaries. Lizzie’s is the starting point for Judy’s part of the investigation and a place where the player can reconnect with her, not the entirety of the quest.

Judy’s later quest line

Judy’s side jobs continue the bar’s narrative importance. Lizzie’s serves as a base for conversations and planning, while the actual missions often move to other districts and venues. The bar is therefore a recurring relationship location rather than the setting of every Judy quest.

The most important practical point is to keep following Judy’s calls and messages after the Evelyn storyline. The bar’s significance is principally narrative, and its state can change as the story advances.

Lizzie Iconic Tech Pistol

The Lizzie is an Iconic Tech Pistol associated with Lizzie’s Bar and Judy’s basement area. Guides commonly place it in or near Judy’s workshop during the period surrounding Automatic Love.

However, the weapon’s exact placement and availability have differed between releases and patches. Community reports specifically note changes around version 2.0 and later updates, while older guides often describe a pre-2.0 placement.

This is a fixed, named item when available, not a random drop. The weapon should not be confused with ordinary pistols or generic loot found in the club.

Ordinary loot

Small consumables and incidental items may appear in the public and restricted areas. Their exact contents can vary with game version, difficulty and mission state. They are not a reliable reason to revisit the bar and should not be presented as a fixed collectible set without version-specific evidence.

Shards and environmental text

These are environmental lore items associated with the bar’s database and surroundings, but their precise pickup conditions may depend on the mission phase and game version. The bar’s advertising, club conversations and braindance equipment are often more valuable for atmosphere than for mechanical rewards.
