'Boire'
Rave with two current locations, Ames and Saint Louis, owned and ran by Lee. House motto, "We Practice Pitchcraft."

Saint Louis
The Saint Louis location is at 517 Withers Avenue, in an old rundown industrial section near both tracks and close to the river. Opening June 23rd, opening night is by invite only. The club will open up fully the following night, although there is expected to be waiting lines. Inside on the main floor one finds a wrap around bar. There are various tables set with a middle pole up to the ceiling for dancers, and there is a middle stage. Doors to the restrooms, and kitchen are off to one side, under the stairs to the second floor. Those rooms mostly are adjacent to the big open main room, either open to the room, or with one sided glass for more privacy. The DJ booth is in one of those rooms, right above the middle of the bar. There are no windows in the location to the outside, but plans show later intent to create a second area on the roof for similar use, with the reinforcements being built in now as part of the retrofit. There are no cameras inside either. The room has a wooden floor for dancing, and lots and lots of aimable and moveable lights on the ceiling. The walls are currently black but are being painted by Anya, and the whole area has been left very industrial. There are several tables scattered about, with a pole in the center for dancing. The bar is a full bar and serves all kinds, as best possible, although the crowd is *OFTEN* mixed human and supernatural, so digression in ordering is expected. The kitchen is limited at the moment, to small handheld treats and baked goods, or something like loaded nachos.

Note: Lee is working to arrange neutral ground standing amongst the various leaders of the supnats in the area.

Ames
The Ames location in an industrial section of old Des Moines, has a full bar, and a partial kitchen. Rave is open 7 nights a week, and staffed by a mix of various supernaturals, which include were's (not just wolves), mages, and those who fall in other catagories, including many who are currently unrecognized or unknown. Owned by Lee, it allows for both mortal, immortal, and the in-between patrons to party, dance, and exist in relative peace. Rumor has it it has ties to old organized crime, and entities most area's do not acknowledge. What is known, is that the lines are long, and it is considered one of the premier party locations amongst the "In Crowd". Owner Lee | started there as a bouncer, and worked her way up to owner, expanding the original club, while keeping on all the original staffing and management. She is known to appear now and then, to take a shift as a bouncer, or even behind the bar, as a bartender.
