Forlorn Hope

The Forlorn Hope is the name of a notorious bar in Night City. In 2020 it was located at the corner of 22nd Street and Drake, south of Charter Hill. By 2045, the area had become part of the Combat Zone of Little China.

History
Forlorn Hope was founded by John Freeman and William Dolarhyde between 2011 and 2015, occupying an old Victorian-style building known formerly as Hotel Sierra. Although Solos comprised most of its clientele, the bar catered to other freelances, including Netrunners and Fixers. Its location was only known to its small group of very close-knit patrons, and it didn't advertise.

In the Time of the Red, the Forlorn Hope's neighborhood is now firmly in Little China and the Combat Zones. Rogue Amendiares would sometimes meet up-and-coming edgerunners who were not qualified to enter the Afterlife at the Hope when the owners approved.
