The game will present you with three locations where you can get clues to find Whoreson Junior's location. After searching all 3 locations, you will gain 150 XP.
・Junior's Hideout
・Junior's Arena
・Junior's Casino

Note: Players don't need to visit all three; the arena will be optional if you finished the casino first and vice versa. However, they will be marked with an X and in red on your Quest log if you skipped them.
After talking to Dijkstra, you will unlock the optional secondary quest The Gangs of Novigrad. In this side quest, Cleaver's men will help you out in completing some of the objectives in Get Junior. However, doing this secondary quest will lock you out of the other ways of clearing the casino and arena like playing Gwent or joining the tournament. If you haven't completed it yet, The Gangs of Novigrad will fail if you speak to Radovid to ask about Whoreson Junior.

The Gangs of Novigrad Walkthrough

Find Whoreson Junior's Hideout

Step-by-step Walkthrough
1
Find Whoreson Junior's Hideout
Make your way to the marked house located on the northern part of Novigrad. You will see Cleaver's men there, simply enter the house.
2
Search Whoreson Junior's Hideout Using Your Witcher Senses
Use your Witcher Senses to investigate. Examine any three objects in the house that are highlighted (with a red glow) as clues. Geralt will then deternine that the place has been scrubbed clean, so there are no hints to be found about Whoreson Junior's whereabouts.

Visit Whoreson Junior's Arena

Head to the Arena. There are three peaceful ways to enter:
Pay 200 Crowns: Receive 20 XP
Use Axii (Requires Delusion level 3): Receive 40 XP
Find an Invitation: Bouncers will let you enter. (The invitation can be found on the corpse of a man attacked by thugs near the school.)

Otherwise, you can just kill the bouncers. For a faster playthrough, choose the violent method since you'll have to fight Whoreson's thugs inside either way.
