The Third Rail

Background
The Third Rail is a jazz club in a repurposed subway station. The club is owned by John Hancock, the mayor of Goodneighbor, and managed by a Mister Handy named Whitechapel Charlie. Charlie primarily operates the bar, and a singer named Magnolia performs on a small stage.

Layout
The Third Rail is set in a pre-War subway station. Through the entrance is a small area, with a restroom to the right, a ticket counter to the left, and the bouncer Ham standing guard in front of the stairs ahead. Down the stairs is the bar, with a small stage to the left, and a VIP room down a short corridor to the right. A small Novice-locked storage room to the left of the stairs in the bar area contains a steamer trunk.
