History Main / VampiresOwnNightclubs

* In ''Film/ModernVampires'' {{Dracula}} himself owns a night club, but the place is obviously for vampire clientele as the only humans [[ToServeMan are there to be serve]].

-->'''[=LaCroix=]:''' It's time to peel away the layers and reveal our inner selves. Yes, it's Amateur Night at the Raven, and tonight our amateurs will reveal their inner selves by GETTING NAKED!
** Wait... a vampire woman named Jeanette owns a night club and has a superior named [=LaCroix=]? [[VideoGame/VampireTheMasqueradeBloodlines That seems vaguely familiar...]]
*** The game seems to have ripped off ''Forever Knight'', since FK came first.

* ''Lady Crymsyn'' by P. N. Elrod. It's both the name of a book in the ''[[TheVampireFiles Vampire Files]]'' series and of the club the main character owns for the rest of the series.

* ''ComicBook/DeKiekeboes'': In "Het Witte Bloed" ("The White Blood") a doctor of a plasma bank turns out to use the blood of his patients to establish a bar for vampires.

* Averted in the ''[[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Buffyverse]]'', which features demon bars instead, oft portrayed as a BadGuyBar except for [[Series/{{Angel}} Lorne's place]] "Caritas". Some of these serve as places where [[KissOfTheVampire humans can go to be fed on by vampires]], but they're portrayed more as [[FantasticDrug junkie dives]] than glamorous nightclubs.

** The supplement book "The Succubus Club", a vampire night club in [[TheWindyCity Chicago]].

* ''TabletopGame/VampireTheMasquerade'' has a supplement book about "The Succubus Club", a vampire night club in [[TheWindyCity Chicago]].
** Something of an understated tradition in both ''Masquerade'' and [[TabletopGame/VampireTheRequiem its successor]]. Any good court will set up a Rack or two where its citizens can feed without anyone getting pissy about territory. And as the humans often gather at bars and nightclubs, and it's much better to manage these things if you're the owner...

* ''Literature/{{Discworld}}:

* Karen E. Taylor's ''Literature/VampireLegacy'' series features a vampire - owned night club.

** The Night Life section in ''The Complete Ankh-Morpork City Guide]]'' lists the Heaving Bosom, an exclusive night club run by [[VegetarianVampire the Uberwald League of Temperance]], which specialises in serving red wine at body temperature and a sort of scarlet absinthe that [[GargleBlaster will probably kill anyone who's alive before they drink it]].

** Similarly in ''The Sims 3'', nightclubs and vampires were introduced in the same expansion pack.

* Averted in ''[[Literature/TheLaundrySeries The Rhesus Chart]]''. Vampires are essentially {{serial killer}}s, so need to pick victims that no one will miss. That means the elderly or homeless runaways, not pretty young things who can afford to go to nightclubs. The newly-turned vampires in the novel don't know this (being yuppies who are just [[WrongGenreSavvy doing what they see vampires do on television and movies]]) and are regarded as literally TooDumbToLive by their kin.

* In Kelly Armstrong's series ''{{Women of the Otherworld}}'', there is a bar that is completely run by vampires in the book ''Broken''.

* Lillie Langtry from ''KindredTheEmbraced'' owned the night club "The Haven".

* ''Series/TrueBlood'' has Fangtasia, owned by Eric Northman and Pam Swynford de Beaufort.

* In ''TheDresdenFiles'', Bianca--a vampire of the Red Court--runs the Velvet Room, although it is more of a high-class call girl ring than strictly a nightclub. The White Court of vampires, who [[HornyDevils survive on lust and sexual energy]], are primarily invested in the pornography industry, but also run the creepy sex club called Zero. When he visits, Harry Dresden recognizes that the name refers to zero boundaries, inhibitions and limitations, but when he sees the purely mechanical acts being performed he realizes that it also means zero ''fulfillment''. Harry shudders at the thought, realizing that the Club Zero is a taste of what would happen if the White Court ran the world. Their ultimate goal is ''Planet'' Zero.

* In ''TheDresdenFiles'', the White Court vamps own a creepy sex club called Zero (boundaries, inhibitions, limitations, ''fulfillment'' etc.). Bianca, a vampire of the Red Court, runs the Velvet Room, but it's more of a high-class call girl ring ([[spoiler: and when she gets burned up by Harry, the fully mortal Johnny Marcone resurrects it]]).

* In the ''Literature/KittyNorville'' series, vampires owned nightclubs before they widely known to exist. And since these vampires could hypnotize and play with people's memories, the bitten tend to go home remembering what a great time they had.
