I had my birthday party on the 16th of Feb and planned to have up to 25-40 people there (RSVPing is a dying art). Communication with the events planner Gypsee went very smoothly and I appreciated all of her assistance in answering my multiple questions over two weeks of planning-our waitress Amber was great and got an extra $100.00 out of me alone added to the gratuity for her hard work-thank you, AMBER for doing such an awesome job.
The vibe of FBPC was very relaxed with an upper class touch-I had the whole back section of the Morrocan lounge reserved which was very cozy, but extremely tight once the party really got going-very dark lighting wise-more candles, pls. HOWEVER, I did have a few issues. We had to fight to keep people out of our area all night long despite it being CLEARLY marked "RESERVED-VIP SECTION"-I personally would be willing to pay extra to have someone there making sure "uninvited" guests are not allowed in-I personally had to ask people to leave the area, especially after going down to dance in the club. If I pay for those tables, I expect them to be utilized by my party only, even if no one from our party is sitting there at the time. Secondly, we had a tiff with one of the bouncers about my birthday cake that luckily, got cleared up by Amber immediately. The gentleman later apologized for his behavior when I saw him again-I suggest better communication between the staff and not barking at people who OBVIOUSLY paid to be there. Third, the bathrooms are a b**** to navigate, especially when the place fills up!
OTHERWISE, I and my party had a great time-the music was great, the drinks were well priced and fantastic and I really enjoyed my experience and will definitely be back. I would recommend not going on a weekend as it gets PACKED to the point of not being able to get around-but that is always a sign of a kickin' place-thank you, FBPC for a great birthday and I look forward to visiting your establishment again!
Pros: Good service and drinks, great staff, gorgeous facility and good music later in the evening
Cons: PACKED, tiny bathrooms, VIP means VIP only please!
