Blue Lotus

A nightclub in downtown Los Angeles, located on the border to Chinatown. Because of its location, the club is considered "mixed" territory, and so is one of the only social establishments in the city where people of all races may mix and mingle without trouble.

The owner of the club, Li Ping, is a noted Los Angeles attorney and reputed leader of the Hop Sing Tong.

The Blue Lotus is known for having the best house jazz band in the city, and often headlines notable musicians and singers. Bandleader Sid Stein worked for twenty years in the music industry prior to taking over at the Blue Lotus. His extensive contacts in the business provide the club with a variety of well-known performers.

The club is also famous for its signature cocktail, the Blue Lotus, which is a mixture of absinthe and "secret herbs and spices."
