The Emerald Rose Speakeasy

Hidden beneath a tenement laundry on Taylor Street, the low-ceilinged basement reeks of spilled whiskey and cigarette smoke, its brick walls sweating with condensation. Mismatched tables crowd the space where Duke's piano sits in the corner, gas lamps casting shadows that make every patron look like a ghost.

Duke's Warehouse Distillery

The abandoned meatpacking warehouse near the stockyards stinks of copper stills and fermenting mash, vast and echoing. Copper pipes snake across exposed brick walls like metallic vines, while Duke's chemistry equipment transforms cheap grain into liquid gold under the building's shattered skylights that leak both moonlight and rain.
