The Fat Black Pussycat

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

I love this place. It has a variety of atmospheres. The service is friendly, and the drinks are big. If you make a reservation, the manager comes to check and make sure that you are happy. They lose a star for having old restrooms. more

I went to Fat Black Pussycat over the weekend with some friends and had a great time. Cool atmosphere, good drinks & good service. We met a bunch of nice people that we ended up hanging out with all night. I'm excited to go back to check out the after work scene as my office isn't that far away more

So, my husband tells me Saturday night he's planning to take me out, for me to pick a place. I spend the entire evening searching for hot bars/ clubs and I end up finding " fat black pussy cat". I read most of the reviews, and all seem to be positive feedback, I tell my husband this is going to be the hot spot for the night, he tries telling me not to believe everything I read, that all feed back is necessary true, I assure him that we are going to have a good time......NOT, we walk into the bar, and it looked nothing like the pictures they posted up on their web site. It was so run down, we asked the bar tender for some drinks, and I guess he forgot about us, cuz we didn't get crap after 15 min of waiting. We came from upstate New York thinking we were going to have a good time, instead we ended up in the dumps of New York. What a disappointment. :( more

Only on the right night though. Because some nights you can run into some crazy people at the Fat Black. Love the drinks and the music is okay. more

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 you nweed to be pleasent. We have never gone back since and wont. more

I have been here for new years as well on a typical saturday night. I had issues with the service on new years but that was quickly resolved by the management and the owner who made up for it big time. Its a definitely fun place, they have pretty good food and strong drinks. I would gladly return since unlike other venues, they actually value customer satisfaction and make sure everything goes well. I definitely recommend this place whether its just a hang out with friends or even a birthday party as you are bound to have a great time. more

I had a going away party here last Saturday night. It worked out great. The back room is really pretty with candles and couches etc. Downstairs there was dancing with a DJ and really good band. Drinks and service were great. No complaints. more

My bff planned this night out and it didn't dissapoint! Their drinks are so yummy I had some kind of pineapple vodka martini that was so delish there was o way I could stop at one! We went cuz my friends said they had karaoke which I can't resist to sing a few songs with my girls but to our surprise they also had a fab band that sounded way better then our singing! So after we sang a few songs to each other we went downstairs to listen to the real singers and I can't wait to go back! Thanks so much for a fun night out! You guys rock! more

Well, let's just say the pussy cat did not live up to my expectations. The place gets super crowded on Saturdays...but of course that's expected. We bypassed the bar area and the pool area and went to the little lounge in the back. The furniture was sooooo dirty and the seats did not have cushions. And mind you these were wooden chairs. The DJ in this room sucked big time and was rude when my friend asked to make a request. The ipod music in the bar was way better then this rude DJ who looked like he just escaped from prison. The website says you are allowed to party in their sister lounge free of charge but the lounge next door was charging to get in. The good thing about this place was the waiter was nice, the chicken wings were good as well as the pink lemonade martini. Also, the tip is included in your bill.....the waiter got a $20 tip whether he deserved it or not. This is not a classy place so gratuity should not be included. This would be a cool place to get drinks for happy hour if you so happen to be in the area. But if you come all the way from the Bronx like I did you will be totally disappointed. more

I love this place! Some coworkers and I went there for the first time last Friday night after work. The food, drinks, atmosphere- it is the perfect after work spot, but you end up staying all night! Other pluses- friendly waitstaff, great music,and strong drinks!! I will definitely be back! more

I had a fun night here a few weeks ago, I know people who aren't into the club scene who enjoy the FBPC so on a Wednesday I got in touch with Kristen about making a reservation for my birthday party on a Sat night. She was amazingly responsive (I seriously wonder when she sleeps!), answered ALL my questions in a few e-mails back and forth and I thought the policy for resrving a table was AMAZING. No bottle service is important to my friends and I. We will spend money on drinks and food, and we all believe in big tipping so the required 20% tip wasn't any problem, esp as our waitress was great and was working hard all night-just sorry that she did her job so well that I forgot her name! So large cover charges and bottle service policies turn us off. I didn't hear a single complaint from my group about the minimum tab you need to run. Everyone felt it was fair and we have a lot of personalities to please! Despite them not having Guiness in the Underground (they have it in the actual FBPC- which is where we had some drinks before the Underground opened- as we arrived early) the waitress got us two rounds of it for "car bombs" which we really appreciated b/c I know it wasn't something they really offer. The DJ keeps the place jumping and he kept my party dancing all night. My friends all had a great time!! Overall he spun better than most places I've been but I'll always hate them cutting a song short- esp when it's one I love. Also- I have to mention that having the kitchen open until 2 is awesome and as someone always gets hungry this time we didn't have to kill the party early to feed them! Overall- a GREAT time- DO watch the dress code as they check. Kristen was extremely helpful and I'm going to keep her e-mail addy for a possible girls night out soon! Kristen even checked up on us at least once- that's great customer service. The bouncers were cool too. One of my friends tried to dance on a seat- a no-no most places- and he just signaled her and shook his head- very cool that he didn't have a power trip like many can- he didn't yell or get mean. I also love that there aren't a million sleezy guys there trying to hit on everything female and breathing- this place is a great time every time!! You won't regret it- table or no- the cover is VERY fair too. The owners know you can make money without ripping off your clientelle- which is why I'll gladly come back over and over. Might try a calmer night in the lounge next time though! Pros: Great staff, fair drink prices, GREAT reservation policy Cons: Don't have Guiness in the Underground more

You just never know what to expect at this place... I went on Tuesday night and PRINCE was there. Not only was he there but he actually got up and sang. I still can't believe I went to the fat black and saw Prince perform live I'm still in shock. I love this place! Pros: entertainment and great drinks more

I've been there a couple of times, and enjoy myself thoroughly. I think I like this place so much because it gives you so many enjoyable options. From dancing to live music or a DJ. To the relax atmosphere of the lounge. To the fun and hectic nature of the bar. I got a pleasant vibe. From the bouncers, bartenders and the rest of the staff. They were all very friendly. I will definetely go back. Pros: Freindly staff, reasonably priced drinks,nice atmosphere Cons: The dance floor was cramped more

I had a good time with a bunch of girls here - good music, good crowd- its all good. Pros: Good Music, Good Mixed Crowed Cons: Not allowed to sit unless have bottle service more

I really like this place! If you go on a weekday for Happy Hour you get a really nice comfy couch or table. The back room is great if you get in early enough you can just lounge and watch whatever vintage porn is playing. (Ooops! Did I say that?!) It's dark and earthy with antique decor. the crowd is kindof crazy college kid tho at some points. Also the dance clue downstairs is a little weird. I dont want you walking up behind me and humping me thanks. Ask me to dance ; p Pros: Affordable drinks & great music Cons: Decor is a bit tacky more

Went there for my birthday last month the music was great and the music also more

I went to Happy Hour here and the prices were unbelievable. I ordered two drinks with Stoli vodka and paid $7.00. Someone else ordered Dewers on the rocks and paid $3.50. It's unheard of in the city to get top shelf liquor for so cheap. The place isn't crowded either and you can hear eachother talk. Not the best music during Happy Hour, but with the cheap drink prices that is not the biggest deal. The bartenders are nice too so that is a bonuse! Next time I go out for Happy Hour I will definitely go here! Pros: Great Drink Prices, Not Crowded Cons: Dark, Bad Happy Hour Music more

nice place, cool ambiance Pros: great service more
