"Fort Frolic" is a location found in Rapture, a fictional underwater utopia that acts as setting for the 2007 2k Games shooter Bioshock.
Fort Frolic was (and to a handful of Splicers, remains) ostensibly the entertainment district for the now-derelict city of Rapture, presumably meant to provide its citizens with a plethora of earthly pleasures; whether a Rapturite desires to take in a torch-song at its sizable theater, indulge in some first class shopping, or cavort with a frisky lady of the night.
The complex's overseer and self-styled impresario, Sander Cohen, manages Fort Frolic and its constituent parts, which include:
Fleet Hall
Rapture's only theater, reminiscent of a scale model of traditional Broadway theatres such as the Lyceum Theatre. Like most of Rapture, it follows a distinct Art Deco aesthetic and sports a wide stage where a small variety of musical revues would take place in the days prior to Rapture's collapse.
Eve's Garden
Local cathouse and once a popular place for the men of Rapture to drink, socialize and-- for the right price-- "come bite the apple."
Poseidon Plaza
Rapture's fully-featured shopping mall, consisting of an Upper and Lower Gallery. Includes watering hole and gambling joint Sir Prize Games of Chance, the eminent Golden Pharoah Casino, a number of boutiques and the most well-stocked fine wine and liquor store in the city.
