Salazar's Juice Bar (At the End of the Universe)

Type: Business — Bar/Restaurant/Entertainment Complex Location: South Concourse, ~1,414 miles northwest of downtown Kila Vas Status: Canon (confirmed by creator) — full text preserved per archival standard

Overview

Founded by Sal Izzar ("Salazar") as a small, empty beachside shack in downtown Kila Vas, featuring mocktails and fruity concoctions that built a devoted following among beachgoers. Salazar's outsized personality and gift for pleasing customers drove rapid growth, expanding into spirits and liquors. When The Concourses opened, Salazar relocated to the South Concourse, where the business has grown into a sprawling entertainment complex — one of the iconic entities Kila Vas is famous for.

Facilities

• The Original Juice Shack — preserved, suspended in glass above the main stage, flanked by holographic palm trees
• The Slice Bazaar — an open-air market over an acre in size, food stalls, fruit-carving competitions, alien street foods, and exotic juice elixirs distilled from off-world flora

• Salazar's Little Italy — a mid-century Earth Italian-American themed restaurant

The Man

Sal Izzar remains a visible figure at his flagship — tropical suits, straw hats, shaking hands and mixing drinks from memory with an uncanny, near-psychic touch.
