Ace o' Clubs is a fictional public drinking establishment in the DC Comics universe. It is owned and run by former prize fighter Bibbo Bibbowski.

Fictional history

The Ace o' Clubs was a public drinking establishment located on 1938 Simon Street, Hob's Bay, better known as the Suicide Slum neighborhood of Metropolis. It was owned and operated by Bibbo Bibbowski, who purported himself to be Superman's biggest fan. Bibbo becomes a more significant part of the comic when he finds a winning lottery ticket dropped by Gangbuster and uses the money to buy the Ace o' Clubs bar and help those living in the Slum.

In fact, Bibbo maintained a zero-tolerance attitude against any patron who dared to bad-mouth the Man of Steel. It was not uncommon for Bibbo to personally toss such an individual out on their ear. Like most bars and pubs, the Ace o' Clubs was no stranger to violence. To keep the peace, Bibbo always had his trusty double-barrel shotgun at the ready should things ever get too wild. The Ace o' Clubs was occasionally victimized by various citywide threats, all of which involved Superman in some way.

During the "Battle for Metropolis", a group of looters began vandalizing the front window, but Bibbo drove them away.

The Ace o' Clubs bar is the site of a battle between the life-force devouring Parasite and Aztek.[1] Bibbo and his friends purposely ignore the fight, playing cards instead and trusting others to handle the villain.
