Sammy's Bar is a location in Mafia III.

History[]

Background[]

The bar is an iconic symbol in Delray Hollow, which served as the home for the Robinson family and a base of operations for the Black Mob until February 1968. Sammy Robinson ran all of the mob's operations out of his office there and used it as a recruitment center for young black kids that he would take off the street to work for him in his rackets.[1] Lincoln Clay was one of these kids, and he soon became a member of the family when the Robinsons took him in as one of their own in 1958.

Death and Fire[]

In February 1968 Sal Marcano arrived at Sammy's bar with son Giorgi and associate Ritchie Doucet to pick up his share of the money from the Federal Reserve robbery. While the group celebrated with drinks, Sal and his men opened fire, killing Sammy and Ellis Robinson, Danny Burke, and shooting Lincoln Clay in the head, leaving him for dead. They set fire to the bar as they left to cover their tracks, reducing it to a burned out shell. A subsequent investigation concluded that the fire was the result of a gas leak.

Lincoln's Return[]

Lincoln survived the fire and gunshot to the head after Father James happened by shortly after Sal and his men left. Seeing the bar in flames, he rushed in to find Lincoln clinging to life and pulled him to safety. After several months of recovery with the Father, Lincoln returned to the ruins of Sammy's bar. Upon entering he is suddenly overcome with flashbacks of the night his family was massacred, reliving the moment they were killed one by one. After composing himself, he heads to the basement and finds it still intact and decides to use it as his home while he takes down the Marcano Crime Family.

Cult Ritual[]

Some time later an underground cult conduct a dark ceremony inside the bar. Its history of death makes it a fitting place to hold a cleansing ritual for their new inductee Anna McGee. Meanwhile Father James convinces Lincoln that visiting the bar may offer Lincoln some closure, and the two arrive just as a terrified Anna is fleeing through the front door. While investigating the gruesome scene inside, Lincoln stumbles upon evidence that will lead to him taking on an emerging cult that threatens every person of color in New Bordeaux.

Renovation[]

In June of 1968, Lincoln's aunt Lily Robinson returned to New Bordeaux. Seeing the value in black-owned businesses in the Hollow, she convinced Lincoln to rebuild the bar as a testament to her late brother Sammy. With Lincoln providing the funds, and Lily coordinating the repairs, the two rebuilt the bar from top to bottom, investing over $185,000 into it.

Once the renovations are complete, they host an opening celebration where Father James and most of Delray Hollow turn out to raise a glass in honor of Sammy Robinson. The renovated bar features a live jazz band, a fully staffed kitchen, an outdoor smoking patio, and a game room with billiards and darts. The exterior is updated with awnings and a mural of the Robinson family. Lincoln's basement living quarters are given a complete overhaul, and the bar even includes an office for Lincoln upstairs.

Employees[]

Prior to 1968, Charles Laveau worked as a bartender at Sammy's.[2] After the renovations are complete, the bar employs a host of bartenders, waitresses, and kitchen staff. Lincoln brings in Oscar to work as a bouncer after he lost his job at Nuit Blanche. He also hires Reggie as a bartender, and Lil Ernie and his jazz band to play live music for the guests.

Live Music[]

Lil Ernie and his jazz trio's playlist includes:

  • Dig & Drive
  • Two's'n' fews
  • Moonlight in Soho

2016[]

By 2016, it was shown by Father James that Sammy's was eventually bulldozed and paved over since nobody wanted to live there. The reasoning for its abandonment remained unclear.

Trivia[]

  • After the renovation Lincoln is able to drink beer or bourbon at the bar or upstairs in his office.
  • Despite being rebuilt in the mission Sammy's Renovation, the documentary footage of Father James pointing out where Sammy's used to be, stating that no one wanted to live there so they paved it over, will still play.
  • After completing the renovations, trying to exit through the western door of Sammy's will show a short load screen, then spawn the player still inside the building. This happens most often if you try right after reloading.
