Location:

Much like the Abercrombie-décor inspired Timber-mine Lounges, these are tucked up not in the mountain slope, but under the GAH overpasses. On the original maps of our city, you’ll find only two or three of them marked with tiny rectangular outlines at ideal spots, such as the one near the outside of the Auz’dome. Today, however, there are several more of these special half-hidden hangouts.

Layout:

With a thick ceiling spanning 16 lanes wide, there is plenty of room to spread out and relax. Not extending the full length of the overhead highway section/s, each of these lounges is still hundreds of feet from wall to wall; each lounge is the size of a spacious residence, and has a layout similar to that of any mansion (meaning suites of rooms running parallel to wings, instead of single rooms down a normal narrow hall). Each Under-GAH Lounge is also at least two stories tall, its uppermost floor always one floor below the street-level of the highway-lanes above.

They have multiple access-points; there is an archway with a double-door on three of each lounge’s four sides; one on either side of the highway, the third exiting out between two of that highway-section’s supports (those supports being statues of nude females). Additionally, they have floor-“hatches” down to the Silos Network. Some also have tinted (shaded) one-way windows (which look black/opaque from the outside), though these are not meant to open.

Features:

Leather armchairs (the vegan kind; made from cacti), pool tables, a full restaurant and bar, and all the works; these are some of the many things you will find hidden just one story under Inisfree’s highways. There are also walls with attached bookshelves, comfortable chair-and-a-half armchairs, beanbag-chairs, and low-intensity chandeliers-based lighting. Some attractive flags are painted on the indoor brick walls.

Since they are not tucked into the slope/side of the central mountain (as is the case with the Timber-mine Lounges), these are the ones that have the windows at their sides. Also unlike those mine-inspired lounges, these have covered parking; they’re right under an overpass (each under its own overpass), after all.
