Key takeaways
- Republic & Vine is in Vista Del Rey, Heywood It is a fast-travel location, not a separate subdistrict.
- Its main function is transport and orientation The dataterm links the intersection with the rest of Night City once discovered.
- The area is associated with nearby Valentino territory, but no source establishes Republic & Vine itself as a named gang headquarters or exclusive combat arena.
- Dicky Twister is nearby in the wider Vista Del Rey area, at Congress and Pajaro Street. It is the location of Padre’s gig “Sr. Ladrillo’s Private Collection”, but it should not be presented as part of the Republic & Vine dataterm itself.
- There is no independently verified Republic & Vine main job, boss fight, ripperdoc, weapon shop, clothing shop or apartment.
- The wider Vista Del Rey subdistrict contains several activities and named locations, so Republic & Vine is a useful starting point for exploration even though the intersection has limited unique content.
About this guide
Scope: Cyberpunk 2077 base game, including the post-launch 2.0-era open world where the same district layout remains in use. Status: Research-backed draft. Republic & Vine is a small map-designated area centred on a fast-travel dataterm, rather than a separately named neighbourhood with its own substantial quest hub. Public sources identify the dataterm and its wider subdistrict, but do not provide a definitive in-game boundary polygon or a complete official list of every shopfront and background building at the intersection. The guide therefore separates verified Republic & Vine content from nearby Vista Del Rey locations that should not automatically be treated as part of the location.
Overview
Republic & Vine is a street intersection and fast-travel point in Vista Del Rey, the southern Heywood subdistrict of Night City. It is not a district, neighbourhood or independent administrative area. Its importance comes from its position on the road network, its proximity to several Vista Del Rey activities, and its usefulness as a launch point for exploring the surrounding Valentino-controlled streets.
The dataterm is one of six fast-travel points listed for Vista Del Rey. The others are Delamain HQ, Skyline East, Metro: Congress & MLK, College St and Shooting Range.
Republic & Vine is best understood as a navigation landmark, not as a self-contained gameplay zone like Kabuki, Japantown or Dogtown. The surrounding streets belong to Vista Del Rey, while nearby named sites such as Dicky Twister, La Catrina and Mercado Sonora are Vista Del Rey landmarks in their own right. They should be treated as connected destinations rather than automatically folded into Republic & Vine.
Administrative placement
The available map evidence describes Vista Del Rey as a Heywood subdistrict and lists Republic & Vine among its fast-travel points.
Republic & Vine is therefore narrower than Vista Del Rey. It should not be used as another name for the entire subdistrict. Vista Del Rey includes numerous streets, markets, gang-controlled properties, mission locations and roads extending well beyond the dataterm.
The hierarchy is
- 01Night City
- 02Heywood
- 03Vista Del Rey
- 04Republic & Vine, a named road intersection and dataterm
What counts as Republic & Vine?
For this guide, Republic & Vine proper means:
The game does not provide a visible boundary line around Republic & Vine. The exact extent of the local zone is consequently best treated as a practical exploration radius, not as a canonical administrative border.
What does not automatically count?
The following are in Vista Del Rey, but should be kept separate from Republic & Vine unless a specific route or mission connects them:
These locations are listed as Vista Del Rey landmarks or fast-travel points by the researched map material.
---
Republic & Vine sits in the poorer southern Heywood environment represented by Vista Del Rey. The subdistrict is characterised by worn megabuildings, narrow streets, pedestrian areas, improvised commerce and a visible gang presence. The map description presents Vista Del Rey as a neglected neighbourhood where gangs have more practical influence than formal civic institutions.
The intersection functions as a transitional space rather than a destination district. It is useful for moving between:
Do not expect Republic & Vine to behave like a traditional shopping plaza. The name belongs to the road junction and dataterm, not to a clearly branded complex.
What does not automatically count?
Roads
The confirmed road names associated with the local and wider subdistrict material include:
The first two form the name of the dataterm. Congress and Pajaro are specifically associated with Dicky Twister and Padre’s gig. Phalarope and Plover are associated with La Catrina in the wider Vista Del Rey area.
Because publicly available map pages do not expose a complete text-labelled street map for the immediate intersection, the precise direction from Republic & Vine to each neighbouring road should be checked against the in-game map rather than inferred from the order in which external guides list them.
---
Unlocking the fast-travel point
Republic & Vine becomes usable as a fast-travel destination after V approaches and discovers its dataterm. Fast-travel terminals are activated by discovery, after which they can be selected from the fast-travel network.
There is no reported story requirement to enter Vista Del Rey itself. The open world becomes freely explorable after the Prologue, although some interiors and missions remain progression-gated.
Recommended arrival procedure
- 01Open the map and select Republic & Vine from the Vista Del Rey fast-travel list.
- 02On arrival, look around the entire junction rather than immediately leaving the terminal area.
- 03Check the surrounding alleys, shopfronts and vertical routes with the scanner.
- 04Use the map to separate Republic & Vine itself from nearby markers belonging to other Vista Del Rey locations.
- 05If following a mission marker, allow the objective route to determine whether the destination is actually at Republic & Vine or elsewhere in the subdistrict.
Useful nearby fast-travel connections
These are the most useful connections for a local exploration circuit. Republic & Vine is particularly convenient when approaching the Vista Del Rey street network from the northern or central parts of Heywood.

The confirmed Vista Del Rey terminals are
Valentinos
The wider Vista Del Rey area is strongly associated with the Valentinos. Dicky Twister is described as a Valentino-run club, and La Catrina is described as a Valentino-run funeral home.
That association does not mean that every NPC standing at Republic & Vine is a Valentino member. Street crowds, civilians, vendors and gang members can occupy the same streets, and ordinary ambient NPCs should not be treated as named residents unless the game identifies them.
Verified faction directory
There is no reliable evidence that Republic & Vine itself contains a permanent faction headquarters, gang boss or named faction representative.
Named people associated with the wider area
The following named people are connected with nearby Vista Del Rey content, but not all should be described as residents of Republic & Vine:
The directory above is deliberately separated from Republic & Vine proper. These characters belong to missions or landmarks elsewhere in the subdistrict.

Confirmed services at Republic & Vine
No independently verified vendor or service has been identified at the Republic & Vine dataterm itself.
In particular, the available evidence does not confirm:
The presence of background signage or a storefront name should not be treated as proof that a business offers a functional service.
Nearby named buildings and businesses
Dicky Twister
Dicky Twister is a club in Vista Del Rey, described as a Valentino-run gay bar and nightclub. It is located at the corner of Congress and Pajaro Street, not at Republic & Vine itself.
The building is a mission location rather than a general-purpose social venue with a full repeatable service system. During the gig “Sr. Ladrillo’s Private Collection”, V enters the club to steal compromising data from Señor Ladrillo’s office. The club includes a main entrance, interior security, an office area and alternate approaches.
La Catrina
La Catrina is a Valentino-run funeral home in Vista Del Rey. It is used in the gig “Jeopardy”, which sends V into the morgue to recover a shard from Jim Greyer’s body. It is a mission location, not a confirmed ordinary funeral service available to V.
Mercado Sonora
Mercado Sonora is described as a pedestrianised market and meeting area in Vista Del Rey. It is a recognisable district landmark, but the available evidence does not establish it as a Republic & Vine subarea or provide a complete directory of functional stalls and vendors.
Delamain HQ
Delamain HQ is another Vista Del Rey fast-travel landmark. It is connected to the Delamain questline and is geographically close enough to be a useful navigation reference, but it is a separate named location from Republic & Vine.
---
No mission is independently documented as starting at the Republic & Vine dataterm itself. The location is more useful as a staging point for activities in the wider Vista Del Rey subdistrict.
“Sr. Ladrillo’s Private Collection”
Approach options
The exact attribute values vary between published walkthroughs and may differ by game version or by which entrance is being described. One source reports an 18 Technical Ability or 18 Body route for alternate access, while another reports a 12 Technical Ability dialogue bypass at the front entrance. Treat these as route-specific checks rather than a single universal entry requirement.
“Sr. Ladrillo’s Private Collection”
| Name | Details |
|---|---|
| Type | Thievery gig |
| Fixer | Sebastian “Padre” Ibarra |
| Target location | Dicky Twister |
| Street location | Congress and Pajaro Street |
| Requirement reported by walkthrough sources | Street Cred 13 |
| Objective | Steal compromising data from Señor Ladrillo’s computer |
| Reported rewards | €$7,123, experience and Street Cred experience |
Approach options: The researched walkthrough identifies several approaches
- 01Main entrance: Enter through the club’s front door.
- 02Entry payment: Pay €$100 at the entrance.
- 03Technical Ability dialogue route: Bypass the payment with the reported Technical Ability check.
- 04Alternate route: Use a high-attribute entrance leading more directly towards the office.
- 05Interior route: Move through the club, reach the stairs and access Ladrillo’s office.
- 06Objective: Interact with the office computer and steal the data.
- 07Exit: Leave the building to complete the gig.
“Old Friends”
This is a Vista Del Rey activity, not a Republic & Vine mission. The bar is described as a Valentino hangout, with a possible back entrance requiring a high attribute check according to the map guide.
“Old Friends”
| Name | Details |
|---|---|
| Type | Gun for Hire gig |
| Target | Karubo Bairei |
| Location | A dive bar at Congress and Pigeon Street |
| Gang association | Valentinos |
| Objective | Neutralise Karubo, preferably without raising the alarm |
“Jeopardy”
Again, the gig belongs to Vista Del Rey as a whole rather than Republic & Vine proper.
“Jeopardy”
| Name | Details |
|---|---|
| Type | Search and Recover gig |
| Location | La Catrina Crematorium |
| Streets | Phalarope and Plover Street |
| Objective | Find Jim Greyer’s body and recover the shard lodged in it |
| Hazard | Valentino presence inside the funeral home |
“Machine Gun”
The Vista Del Rey map guide places the unique smart pistol Skippy within the subdistrict and associates it with the side job “Machine Gun”. Skippy is a level-scaling smart pistol with a talking interface and a choice between two targeting modes. After enough use, the weapon changes behaviour and the quest eventually involves its previous owner, Regina Jones.
The available source confirms the item’s Vista Del Rey association, but this guide does not claim that the pickup is physically inside the Republic & Vine boundary.
“Only Pain”
“Only Pain” is a Vista Del Rey side job unlocked after “Playing for Time”. It begins when V encounters police officers beating a civilian. The player can intervene, with the exact outcome depending on dialogue, lifepath options and whether the officers are attacked.
The location is documented as Vista Del Rey content, not as a Republic & Vine-exclusive encounter.
“Search and Destroy”
The main job “Search and Destroy” includes a hideout in Vista Del Rey where V meets Goro Takemura and Hanako Arasaka. The location is progression-specific and should not be treated as an always-accessible Republic & Vine landmark.
---
Fast-travel dataterm
The main confirmed Republic & Vine acquisition is the dataterm itself:
Tarot cards
Tarot cards become available after the beginning of Act 2 and the relevant “Fool on the Hill” progression. The Vista Del Rey map guide identifies a Tarot Card entry in the subdistrict, listed as The High Priestess, but the available text does not establish that the card is physically at Republic & Vine rather than elsewhere in Vista Del Rey.
Therefore
| Name | Details |
|---|---|
| Verified | Vista Del Rey contains a Tarot Card location. |
| Not established here | that the card is inside the Republic & Vine immediate area. |
| Practical advice | use the in-game map marker and scanner rather than assuming that every Vista Del Rey collectible is at the dataterm. |
Hidden loot
Some community guides describe an unmarked hidden loot location near Republic & Vine involving an alley, roof access and a body. The available evidence for this is not sufficiently authoritative or stable to present the item, exact reward or missability condition as canonical. It is therefore recorded as an unresolved lead, not as a confirmed directory entry.
---
Republic & Vine has no separately documented permanent combat encounter, boss or NCPD activity.
The wider Vista Del Rey area can contain:
The map guide specifically lists no Reported Crime activity and no Cyberpsycho Sighting for Vista Del Rey in its district breakdown. That does not prove that no random combat can occur near Republic & Vine, only that these named activity categories are not listed for the subdistrict by that source.
Dicky Twister security
Dicky Twister has mission-specific security. The available location material describes a guarded main entrance, interior gang members and alternate entry points. The site can be approached stealthily or more directly depending on V’s attributes and chosen route.
Practical hazards

Quick Republic & Vine circuit
This route is best for confirming what belongs to the immediate intersection without accidentally expanding the location to all of Vista Del Rey.
Quick Republic & Vine circuit: steps
- 01Fast-travel to Republic & Vine.
- 02Walk the full intersection and inspect nearby signage and entrances.
- 03Check the map for any active gigs, side jobs or NCPD markers.
- 04Scan vertical routes, roof access and side alleys.
- 05Return to the dataterm before travelling onward.
Vista Del Rey story-and-gig circuit
- 01Start at Republic & Vine.
- 02Travel towards the relevant mission marker rather than assuming the target is at the dataterm.
- 03Visit Dicky Twister for “Sr. Ladrillo’s Private Collection” if the gig is active.
- 04Continue to other separately named Vista Del Rey sites only if their missions are available.
- 05Use Skyline East, Metro: Congress & MLK or Delamain HQ as return points.
Completionist checklist

Republic & Vine proper
No other named, independently verified functional business or permanent mission interior has been established within the immediate dataterm zone by the sources reviewed.
Wider Vista Del Rey, kept separate from Republic & Vine
Named people associated with wider Vista Del Rey content
---
Republic & Vine has little standalone lore in the way that locations such as Arasaka Tower, Embers or the Afterlife do. Its significance is spatial and thematic.
The dataterm sits in a part of Heywood where the game contrasts corporate wealth with neighbourhood-level power. Vista Del Rey is geographically close to richer districts, yet its streets are depicted as neglected and heavily shaped by gang authority. The result is a useful example of Night City’s vertical inequality: affluent districts can be nearby without making their prosperity available to the surrounding population.
The Republic name also creates a visual and thematic link with the wider city road network, including Republic Way and Republic East, but the available evidence does not establish that these similarly named roads form one local administrative area. They should be treated as separate map names unless the game’s own district labels connect them.

Fast-travel points
Missions and activities
Named people associated with wider Vista Del Rey content
Is Republic & Vine a district?
No. It is a named fast-travel point and street intersection in Vista Del Rey, which is itself a subdistrict of Heywood.
Is Dicky Twister part of Republic & Vine?
Not strictly. Dicky Twister is in Vista Del Rey at Congress and Pajaro Street. It is a nearby subdistrict landmark and mission location, but the evidence does not define it as part of the Republic & Vine dataterm’s immediate area.
Can I buy anything at Republic & Vine?
No dedicated purchasable property, vehicle, shop inventory or service has been independently verified at the dataterm itself.
Is there a boss at Republic & Vine?
No named boss or permanent boss encounter is confirmed there.
Is there a Tarot Card at Republic & Vine?
Vista Del Rey has a Tarot Card entry, identified by the map guide as The High Priestess. The available evidence does not prove that the card is located at Republic & Vine itself.
What is the best reason to visit?
The dataterm is valuable as a transport node and as a convenient starting point for exploring Vista Del Rey’s missions, gang-controlled locations and named landmarks.

The following points remain unresolved from the available evidence:
Because of these gaps, this guide does not claim exhaustive coverage of every visual prop, unnamed stall or random encounter around the junction. It does establish the verified hierarchy, fast-travel role, wider subdistrict context and the main nearby activities without collapsing Vista Del Rey into Republic & Vine.
