I threw my boyfriend a surprise 27th birthday party in early January on a saturday night at the FBPC and I was so pleased with the way everything turned out. I had a larger than expected party (I believe at least 40 people). However, thanks to months of planning and the helpful assistance of the party manager, Gypsee, the night was a success! I initially had the VIP room (it's private but a bit tight) and 10 chairs in the Moroccan lounge but Gypsee was able to give us the extra space that we needed by accommodating us with another 10 chairs! We were able to shuttle back and forth to the Moroccan lounge ( a nice area to chill and drink) and the Village Underground club (they have great music to get your groove on to) without any extra charge or issues. Prices are very affordable especially if you are buying individual drinks. To be honest, I only had three gripes about the night. The venue was ridiculously packed (that which you cannot help on weekends), we did not have any security preventing outsiders into our private area (something that should be looked into for future parties) and I went over budget having to buy a lot of steeply priced bottles (I prepared for that)!! I wished that I had more than one waitress for the night but honestly, given the circumstance and the large number of people who showed up, the staff at the FBPC did a great job. Our waitress was a sweetheart and made sure that our party got everything they needed. And since everyone who came out really enjoyed themselves, I was very very happy. I would definitely highly recommend this spot if you want to hang out with a nice sized group of friends. It gets a little difficult if you have a large party, but you can make it happen. Just be prepared to spend some dough if your party is pretty big. I'm definitely coming back because my friends cannot stop talking about all the fun they had. And more importantly, my boyfriend was over the moon!!
Pros: great prices, great service (staff and bouncers), nice club and lounge in one place!
Cons: can be packed, college crowd on weekends & needs new bathrooms
