Best

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 ...

Fut time was had by all 5/31/2005

Not much of a bar scene sort of person so I was pleasently surprised by this place. Went in early and it was quite loud but the place chills down and becomes more enjoyable after the lounge opens up. Definetly try their "fat black pussycat" drink...it's the best drink I ever had. Cherry bomb and apple pie are also quite good. The lounge itself was well designed and relaxing....a definite plus if you're thinking about taking that significant other there, highly romantic. Get there early to avoid the rush. Pros: Great drinks, prices, atmosphere, people more

Favorite Place 3/8/2005

FBC is one of my favorite places in NYC. You can't beat the prices for happy hour, and then not having to leave to go to another place to dance to a DJ since they've added Rumour's downstairs, is fantastic! Highly Highly Recommended more

Fantastic Idea 2/28/2005

I love this place.When you have no idea what you feel like doing whether it be just hanging out in a bar playing pool/darts, or relaxing in a cozy lounge, or dancing at a club all night long. I strongly suggest this place it has all three you can make up your mind when you get there. What a great idea the owner is a genius!! more

User review by rbello216 2/24/2005

After hearing such great reviews, I chose Fat Black Pussycat as a venue for a birthday party and I was very disappointed, when neither name I gave were on the guest list & my friends had trouble getting in. Otherwise the place was alright, but wouldn't recommend it if you're trying to reserve for a party!!! more

The best 1/17/2005

Best bar in the Village. There's always a nice crowd, and there's nothing they don't have. more

One of the best 11/26/2004

Really is one of the best and least pretentious lounges. Despite simple bar interior, the lounge that opens at night is roomy and extremely cozy. Jazz playing downstairs at adjoined Village Vanguard. Happy hour is one of the best in the city, half off all drinks-had some of my expensive fav brews. The music is adequate, aiming to please all with mostly radio and bar standards. Darts and pool also cool. Pros: Happy hour, lounge, atmosphere more

The Drinks are What's Up! 11/23/2004

This was a really nice first date spot. Their martinis are strong and had me feeling very nice after the first one. The atmosphere here is great! The wooden benches tend to make your butt hurt but the lounge area with all of the comfy seating makes up for it. Pros: Drinks, Prices, Atmosphere more

Fat Drinks - Great Price 11/3/2004

The Fat Black Pussycat is a fabulous place to get real drinks at a great price during happy hour. The drinks are just as strong as a normally priced drinks (if not stronger). So if you've had a rough week/day, FBP will hit the spot. Other patrons are cool too - its definitely worth the trip. The only problem is, it being such a reasonably priced place for happy hour - there isn't enough staff to tend to everyone. Pros: Happy Hour $$, Cool People, Space Downstairs Cons: , Upstairs bar, More staff needed more

Great Time 8/10/2004

Drinks were very reasonable - about $6.00. We went to go dancing, but ended up making out in the lounge. Service was great and friendly. more

Relaxing Atmosphere! 8/7/2004

There's no admission charge. Average drinks are $9.50. They have very good martini's. Three levels and a small VIP room. The lower level has lots of chairs, tables, and louges to sit and chat and space for dancing. They also have "ladies night" where women receive a ticket upon entering the club/bar and get 1/2 price on drinks. Enough space for dancing. It gets crowded around 12 midnight until 2am on the dance floor. Martini's are good size drinks. more

Glad I chose this place! 7/5/2004

I had several people meet me here to celebrate my birthday and had a great time! I LOVE the lounge with all the funky velvety couches and throne chairs...TOTALLY different feeling than the main bar when you walk in. There is even a dance club downstairs (though one of my friends wasn't allowed there because he had sandals on). Their martinis are a GREAT value..and they have tons of fun ones to choose from. Pros: ambience, martinis, inexpensive more

Deserves its #1 Rating 6/18/2004

My friends and I checked this place out when we saw it was #1 in the CitySearch Poll. We had the best time. The manager must have like the way my friends looked, becuase he bought my girlfriends and me free drinks in the "club" room downstairs. Great female D.J. and vibe. Great place for a varied night out. Pros: Dancing, Rooms, Martinis more

it's cool but... 6/8/2004

On the weekends the place is jumpin', but gettin' in the place on a Friday or a Saturday if you are a SINGLE MALE, is a world class bitch. The bouncer has put the force field up on many a guy becuase supposedly there's a female shortage in the city. If you get in you'll have a blast, but when a bar starts turning people down because they are single guys it is getting way to full of itself, and that is a big time strike against it Pros: good atmosphere, great location Cons: , crowded more

Great service, quality drinks, and a cool decor... this place has it all. Went with some friends, and everyone in the place was super friendly. We felt like it was our own neighborhood bar, and we had never been here before. Pros: Martini Menu, fun crowd(sat night), music 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.
