Midnight Club

The Midnight Club is a fictional business featured in comic books published by DC Comics. It is associated with the Constantine line of comic titles and first appeared in Hellblazer #2 in February, 1988.

Description
The Midnight Club was an exclusive night club located in Manhattan. It was owned and operated by Papa Midnite. The club catered to a very eclectic clientele, and many of its offerings ranged way beyond any sense of legality or moral decency. It was a literal den on inequity and debauchery. John Constantine came to the club to ask Papa Midnite's aid in combating a demon known as Mnemoth. Midnite showed him around, and took him to a lower arena which showcased zombie pit-fighting.

Points of interest

 * The Arena: The Arena is an underground pit-fighting area in the lower basement level of the club. It is here that Papa Midnite entertains his guests by having his zombie servants compete against one another in both armed and (sometimes literally) unarmed combat. Zombies have been known to use clubs to beat each other into submission. John Constantine became an unwilling spectator to the events of the Arena, and was more than a little taken aback by the sheer brutality of the festivities, especially when a spray of blood splashed across his face.
