The owner, Cherry is a charismatic human with strong organizational and matrix entertainment skills.

Distinctive Features

Ground Floor:
The Milkshake Bar:
Cherry's Shakes is a vintage-style milkshake bar with some extras such as burgers, drive-through and drive-in with roller skate service.
A great place to take the family for a nostalgic dinner, your date for a shake, or go on your own to relax and enjoy the flair.
The owner Cherry prides herself in that the motto of her restaurant; "No matter how you feel, you always leave happier" is recognized as universal truth amongst the regulars.
The Drive Through:
The drive through offers personal service with real people taking orders and handing out the orders. Visitors do not need to communicate through microphones or drones.
Parking Lot:
The parking lot offers the service to order from your car and get the shakes & food delivered to your car by the friendly roller-skating waiters. Here, you can watch a 1950's movie on the big screen at the end of the parking lot. Subscribe to Cherry's Shakes on your com-link to get access to the audio of the movie playing now.
The Basement
The minimum age to enter the basement is 18, except for Sunday mornings and some special events. The basement can be described as a very sophisticated, popular amongst runners and wannabes because it offers a safe environment to simulate real action. It offers an opportunity to try new tactics, test weapons one cannot afford in real life, or slide into a different persona (which mundane hasn't wondered how it feels like to be able to conjure a spirit or be Biggie Beefcake for one afternoon?
There are two distinct areas in the basement:
"Area 1"
is a real-life shooting range, tactical laser-tag arena and cart-track. Ever tried to throw a grenade, grill a steak with a flame-thrower, or drive a cart jumped in? This is a safe environment to test all those things. You can also try that sniper rifle you've been dreaming of and promised to gift yourself next Christmas if you manage to stay off those darn substances until then.
"Area 2"
offers an oasis of trid-, BTL, VR- and AR- games. This where a mundie can jump into the character of a wizard to feel how it feels to conjure a spirit and have the spirit fight against the spirit a friend conjured (or virtually any thing else), or for a mage to jump into the character of a decker and experience that they may infact not always be sleeping on the job when they say they're running the matrix and get a grasp of the basics and concepts to finally understand at least one word they say when they describe the ordeals they had hacking that security server.

|---|---|
| 1 | This is a great place for birthday parties, bachelor parties. Good food in the bar and good fun in the basement. The AR Version of the place invites you to try a shake on the ground floor or test drive a go-cart in the basement. The owner is Cherry, a wealthy tech-enthusiast who loves to make people happy. |
| 3 | The physical and magical security of ground floor average but the friends and fans of the place powerful and strong, so don't be stupid. The matrix security is very high. There are rumors of VIP rooms with alien-tech facilities in the basement. |
| 6 | The basement has Fort Knox security level in all aspects. There isn't any alien tech in the facilities. Just really high grade earthling tech. For any VIP Level one earns, there seems to be one more that one could achieve. Pretty clever marketing trick to keep who try to outscore each other from attaining the final goal. Cherry's connections to both entertainment industry, big corps and the underworld, plus wealthy inheritance fund have made this "playground" possible. |
