I want to work to this place which will make life happening.

Worst

This bar is okay, theres nothing specifically special about it, but the waitress we had was horrible. She wasn't happy with her tips, and didnt understand that to have good tips ...

HAPPY HAPPY HOUR! 12/27/2002

I was amazed at the length and specials of happy hour. This bar puts other happy hours to shame. The bartenders will make you anything you like...even the wine is on the happy hour specials... You can't beat that with a Fat Black Bat! Pros: Inexpensive, Good Jukebox, Location Cons: Crowded, No Happy Hour Food, Location more

This place is full of contradictions!! 11/25/2002

Wonderfu, trendy atmosphere if you plan on bringing A FEW friends but don't count on going "casual". The bar does not appear to have a dress code from first glace, but we were told by a snotty bouncer there is a "no hats" rule. After entering, we noticed lots of people were wearing hats. ????? Also be prepared to takes your clothers to the dry cleaners the day after...they will REEK OF CIGARETTE SMOKE, as this place does not have a great ventillation system and the smoke is absoulutely intolerable. (I am a smoker, and it was awful...) To end on a positive note though, great martinis!!!!!!!! Pros: Great Martinis, Romantic lighting, Comfortable couches Cons: Heavy cigarette smoke, Small bathrooms, Over crowded more

Village hot spot? 11/14/2002

Alright place.. waitress service is great and quick. Snack food is also great here. Having only 1 bar is the drawback so you need to rely on the waitress. The "velvet" room is nice to relax and chill in. more

FBP - A Little Gothic? 11/14/2002

I love the atmosphere in the back room at FBP. It reminds me of a Gothic Church. It's dimly lit, and very cool. The drinks are amazing too! Pros: good drinks, good service Cons: crowded more

Hot Bartenders 11/3/2002

I went to the FBP and couldn't take my eyes off of the hot bartender with dreds. He is definitely an attraction to check out in NYC. The drinks were great and the people were better. I hadn't had that much fun in a while. Pros: bartenders, drinks Cons: crowded more

Great hang out place 9/26/2002

FBP is a place I'm rather familiar place. It's a great place to hang out with a group. It's a little weird sometimes, if you're hanging out by the pool table, which area is usually littered with groups of students, but I've met a few guys there. I also like the fact that there's a computer handy. It's a popular hang-out, so be prepared to wait for a table in their "velvet" room. more

Pros: great staff, cool perks, good crowd Cons: a bit expensive, so so music more

My Favorite Bar 6/20/2002

This place has everything. The front room is a cozy neighborhood bar. The second room has pool, darts, internet access, and plenty of tables and chairs so you can actually sit with your friends. The back room (the hidden one) is a beautiful Moroccan style lounge filled with velvet couches. The drinks are huge, and the DJ's are friendly. more

Fun Place... 6/10/2002

Not being from NY, we happened to find this place after turning off Bleeker St. where we had been told to go to find the bars. The bartenders at the FBP were cool (hey guys! great woo woos!!) and the dj that was there Sat night played great tunes, old and new, had us dancing at the bar. Very cool room in the back for the "not so rowdy" folks. We're definately going back! The girls from Houston. more

i'll give you a fat black... 5/31/2002

although the entrance is tight and seems to force the customers a little friendly, there is plenty of room to hold people once you make your way through. Nothin' beats couches, especially at a bar, call it a lounge. "People are strange..." but isn't that why we live in New York. Pros: seating, atmosphere, cheap pitchers Cons: narrow enterance, big bouncers more

Editorial

  • The Scene On the surface, this bar appears to be just another noisy, crowded after-work or after-school scene. But move beyond the cramped front room and find a casual crowd unwinding in a lively space with wooden booths, quirky wall art and mini table-side TVs. For the real surprise, slip behind a side curtain into a lavish bohemian lounge where would-be couples sink into inviting velvet couches amid Moroccan lanterns. The Draw Plasma TVs, dartboards, Web-access terminals, a jukebox, a pool table--there are enough diversions to occupy even the shortest attention span. The drink selections--beer, cognac, martinis--suit a variety of tastes, and raspberry liqueurs give the bar's namesake drink an appropriately robust flavor. While more obvious choices exist for meeting people and kicking back (or making out), this split-personality feline is ideal for those who want to keep their options open.
