Lotus Eaters

The Lotus Eaters was a posh nightclub. It was one of several clubs owned by Shanghai-based crimelord, Lao Che, who also owned Club Obi Wan.

Behind the scenes
While lotuses are known in China (and used in Chinese medicine), the club's name "Lotus Eaters" is a reference to Greek mythology. Odysseus encountered a group of people who were described as Lotus Eaters, as the primary foodstuff they consumed was the fruit and juice of the narcotic lotus plant, which left the inhabitants sleeping in peaceful apathy.

It is not clear whether the club was located in Shanghai, China, where Lao Che held many business interests, or was located elsewhere.
