Clubs in Vice City and Leonida

Rockstar has shown a handful of nightlife venues in official Grand Theft Auto VI trailers, videos, and screenshots, and it has written about a Vice City club business in character biographies. This page separates those official appearances from names that come only from community read-outs of signs, and from any claim that you can enter, work, or own a particular room.

Last reviewed November 10, 2026. Interior access, hours, and map pins are unconfirmed until the game can be played.

The setting, officially

Confirmed Grand Theft Auto VI takes place in Vice City, USA, inside the state of Leonida. Rockstar's official place text describes Vice City as "the sun and fun capital of America," a long way from the 1980s version of the city, with art deco hotels and beaches at Ocean Beach, a working port, and neighborhoods that run well beyond the postcard strip. Nightlife sits inside that modern city, not as a single downtown gimmick.

Confirmed Official region write-ups also matter for where clubs might appear. Port Gellhorn is described as "Leonida's forgotten coast," a once-popular vacation stretch of cheap motels, shut-down attractions, and empty strip malls. That is the region attached to official screenshots of Delights Cabaret. The Leonida Keys are introduced with a casual dress code and the line that "the bars are loaded," which confirms a looser, waterfront bar culture without naming a flagship dance club. Ambrosia, inland, is framed around industry and a local motorcycle club — a different kind of night out, if the bars shown in preview stills are enterable at all.

None of those regional blurbs is a directory. Rockstar has not published a list of every club, and it has not said which exteriors open into full interiors. The safe reading is: the state has a nightlife layer, a few venues are named or clearly shown, and the rest of the map is something you will have to walk at launch.

Delights Cabaret

Confirmed Interior unconfirmed

Port Gellhorn, Leonida — placement based on official screenshot titles

Delights Cabaret is the in-game venue this unofficial site is named for. It is not a real business, and Rockstar has not published a written feature page about it. What we can say comes from official stills.

An official screenshot released in the Port Gellhorn set — commonly identified as Port Gellhorn 04 — shows a night-time parking lot in front of a red-neon facade. The signage reads as Delights or Delights Cabaret, with a panel that includes the phrase "NEW GIRLS NEW FOOD." Because the still is officially grouped with Port Gellhorn, we treat that region as the confirmed setting for the building as shown, not as a Vice City downtown address.

Outlet write-ups of the same official imagery also report late-night or "open all night" wording on the marquee. We did not invent those extra phrases, but we label them as reported from official artwork rather than as a Rockstar press sentence. A later official Port Gellhorn screenshot, documented by fan sites as part of a November 2026 launch gallery, is described as showing a stage beneath the Delights Cabaret neon. This site does not host official game images, so we cite that still as reported official artwork: it supports the idea that Delights is a performance venue in the world, not proof that the room is a fully playable interior with a minigame attached.

Unconfirmed Rockstar has not said whether Lucia or Jason can walk inside, spend money, take a mission, or interact with the stage. Until someone can do that in the shipped game, "you can go to Delights Cabaret" means "the building appears in official Port Gellhorn imagery."

NINE1NINE

Confirmed Systems unconfirmed

Shown in official trailers and An Extended Look — often placed by commentators in downtown Vice City

NINE1NINE is the club name with the clearest official footage. In the first trailer, a plane tows an advertising banner for the venue — a beach-front marketing gag that is easy to miss if you are watching for story shots. Later official videos go inside. Trailer 2 includes scenes of Jason, Lucia, and a male friend in a packed club, including dancing. An Extended Look again shows club lighting and movement, including Lucia with a drink on a crowded floor.

Those shots are why this guide can say, without hedging, that GTA 6 has at least one modern dance club with a dense crowd and a visible interior. They are not enough to say how you enter, whether a map blip exists, what the door charge is, or whether dancing is a free animation, a control prompt, or a scripted moment.

Rumored Community map work often parks NINE1NINE in downtown Vice City. That placement is consistent with how the trailer geography is usually read, but we have not seen a Rockstar sentence that publishes a street address or district name. Treat "downtown" as a widely shared reading of the footage, not as an official pin.

Boobie Ike's club and "the Jack of Hearts"

Confirmed Exact signage

Vice City — from official character materials

This is the venue we can talk about from Rockstar's own writing, not only from a sign in a still. The official biography for Boobie Ike introduces him with the line "It's all about heart — the Jack of Hearts." It states that he turned time in the streets into a legitimate empire spanning real estate, a club, and a recording studio. Official materials also quote him: "The club money pay for the studio, and the drug money pay for it all." Rockstar's wording for the club business is more specific than "bar"; we keep this guide's own descriptions restrained and point you to that official biography for the exact phrase.

A second official bio, for music hustler Dre'Quan Priest of Only Raw Records, ties the same business to Vice City's music scene. Rockstar writes that now that Dre'Quan has signed the group Real Dimez, his days of booking acts into Boobie's club might be numbered as he sets his sights on the Vice City scene. Dre'Quan's official line, "Dancers are like my A&Rs. If the record's a hit, DJs gonna be spinnin' it," frames the club as a place where records get tested, not as a separate tutorial for the player.

Taken together, Rockstar has confirmed that a Vice City club business exists in the story, that Boobie owns it, and that it sits next to a recording studio and a label. What official text does not literally say is "the map marker is named Jack of Hearts." That reading is very common, because of Boobie's tagline and because outlets and screenshot guides have identified neon and stage imagery under that name. We treat the ownership of a club as confirmed, and the public-facing venue name on a sign as a strong community identification until you can stand under that sign in the shipped game.

Unconfirmed There is no official statement that the player can buy this club, work the door, or take a mission from Boobie inside it. Those are story hooks people hope for, not features Rockstar has listed.

Other names spotted in official-looking material

Several other bars and clubs are regularly named in pre-launch guides. Most of those names come from signs, posters, or buildings visible in official screenshots, trailer frames, or preview coverage — not from a Rockstar sentence that says "this is a playable nightclub." We list them so you know what to look for, and we keep the labels conservative.

Name	What has been reported	Status
The Vault / VYB	Identified by outlets as nightclub ads or posters ("Vice City's hottest night club" and similar copy has been quoted in coverage). We have not seen a written Rockstar venue page for either name.	Rumored Enterable?
The Rusty Anchor	Reported as a thatched, waterfront bar in the Leonida Keys, visible in official-looking footage or stills, with a deck crowd at night.	Rumored
The Thirsty Wolf	Reported as a wooden bar associated with the Ambrosia area and biker imagery in official screenshots. Placement is a community or outlet reading.	Rumored
Effluvia	Reported as a rooftop terrace bar; some outlets included it in lists of places spotted in official material. Exact map location is disputed in community write-ups.	Rumored
Hoodwinks Liquor Bar	Reported from official screenshots showing a vertical "Liquor Bar" neon behind a character. A bar sign is not automatically a club with a dance floor.	Rumored

If a name in that table is on a wall in an official still, the sign is real in-world advertising. That still does not tell you whether the door opens, whether there is a menu of activities, or whether the place matters to a mission. Outlets that logged preview locations have also been careful about this: seeing a building is not the same as confirming a playable interior.

How to find clubs once the game launches

Until map filters and in-game directories can be checked, the practical method is simple and a little old-fashioned. Watch for neon at night, aerial banners over the beach, roadside marquees in Port Gellhorn, and waterfront signs in the Keys. Take a screenshot of the sign, try the door, and note whether the game offers a prompt. If a venue from this page is missing, locked, or only a facade, that is useful information — and it is exactly the kind of thing we will correct after November 19, 2026.

Do not trust a leak map over the pause-menu map you actually get. Community placements for downtown NINE1NINE, for Boobie's club, and for the secondary bars above are starting points for a search, not GPS coordinates.
