The Fat Black Pussycat

Really cool bar in NYC… Stumbled upon it while walking around Greenwich Vilage for a night out. Naturally we wanted to come here because of the name, but we were really impressed. Its super dark and trendy and has this beautiful chandelier near the seating area of the bar. It was a really cool atmosphere, with great music too. I ordered a mojito which was only $ 12 and a pitcher of Bud Light for $ 14. I really enjoyed this bar and would absolutely come back!

Cool bar they have lounge great more private you dance around area with friends & drinks the vibe was great but they spend money reupholstered the furniture couches, chair old so loumpy keep of track your tab, they have pool table

Do not reccomend. Very disappointed. My sister made a reservation here for my Bachelorette party because the menu on their website said there were over 30 martinis for $ 10. When our waitress came around to take our order she rudely informed us that they don’t have those martinis and non of their cocktails are less than $ 14. For a place that charges a two drink minimum for overpriced drinks you would at least expect good service. Don’t waste your time and money. And they really need to take that menu off their website because it is false advertisement.

This is my favorite after work spot. They have half-​price happy hours Sunday — Friday. I am always greeted by the smiling, statuesque Amazon Ashley who has a beautiful smile permanently affixed to her face. If you are looking for a great value happy hour with great bartenders, this is your place.

When this place is busy … IT’S an absolute piece of shit … when it’s not busy. it’s not as shitty but none the less. Girlfriend and I walked in and here was no one to seat us. They were either severely understaffed or just didn’t give a fuck. The verisimilitude of this review might seem flaky but I assure you everything you read is true. There was one waitress that actually cared about our well being and actually took our drink order but that’s about it, but when the comedy cellar is in play don’t even think about going. I didn’t even know they reserved tables … anyway. avoid this place at all costs on weekends and Fridays. Watered down sprite and shared tables. if I wanted that I would of sat home and had dinner with my mom. Jackass of a place. Should of known better when I walked in. Every one there can kiss my unsatisfied ass.

I had a great time here, the happy hour is great and the bartender (I believe his name was Liam) was very nice! I will definitely be coming back.

It’s OK, if interested in commingling with tourists and NYU peeps. My friends had to see this place. I liked the set up till it became full. How hard is it to be polite expect? drunken rudeness from tourists who smoke heavy on outside. If you want local colorful peeple this is not the hole. Great for new to bar scene who are impressed with being in NY. For Me it’s big meh.

I passed this place many times but never went in. I finally ended up going for Friday happy hour and I really liked it. Myself and two coworkers ordered many rounds of drinks and spent less than $ 50. The waitress was friendly and attentive. The place was full but not crowded to the point of being annoying. Later on in the evening we moved over to the other side of the bar and danced and met cool people. I even like the music for the most part. Good spot and I would definitely go back.

My friends and I stopped in for a couple of drinks and ended up grabbing a seat in the second room (entrance near the pool table) which reminded me of a speakeasy. Old couches, old lamps, it has a great vibe.
The service was prompt and friendly.
Half off the entire bar during happy hour which is Sunday-​Thursday until 8pm.
I did not try any food but it looked and smelled very good.

Might be one of the coolest lounges in this neighborhood. If you’re into the look of a place, you’re in for a treat.
The Fat Black Pussycat looks like a bohemian opium den that Oscar Wilde might have chilled at. Dark lighting, good music, and some counter-​culture weirdness projected on big TVs give this place a Victorian era deviance.
It’ll make you wanna not be sober.
Also, the staff is dope, the drinks are strong, and the bathrooms are clean.

I’m very mixed about this place. We came
In on a Wednesday night around midnight.
We first ordered shots at the bar and the service was great. The bartender was friendly and fast with service.
We then moved to a table and the waitress was horrible. I tried to pay with a card and the waitress said I didn’t meet the minimum. So I then left cash at the table under the receipt. We left the place only to be chased down by the waitress who accused us of not paying. She forced us to come back inside and we then proceeded to show her that we did indeed pay and she simply said a sorry and left with the payment. I’m very upset by the treatment of the waitress (not sure what her name was but she had dark curly hair). Who accuses customers of not paying without even checking the table? Such bad customer service on her end. I’m overall very disappointed with the experience because of her.

We enjoyed our time here. Our waitress was nice and attentive (unfortunately I couldn’t hear her name over the music). The wings were Perfect. The music was really good. I wasnt crazy about the sliders. There was a pool table and dart boards and really nice lounge area in the back with a Dj. The only thing that would keep me from coming back are the drinks they are so weak and don’t taste good at all. I had a apple martini that didn’t taste like apple or alcohol at all. I would recommend having a beer if you go since there no way to water that down.

Cool stop for drinks. Live DJ one the 2’s drink prices reasonable. Friendly staff and cool waitress. Pool tables for fun and great music to groove to.

Hey what can you say… the pussy is good. It’s something that everyone can enjoy, no matter your fancy.
One of my favorite places for fun on a impulse.
There are two sides plus a downstairs. All 3 areas play types of music.
Definitely check it out!

So as usual I made my return for drinks or Friday. I had a great time and my sever was just terrific. Alana is the best. She’s always so kind, sweet, and professional. My rum runners were really good and I just can’t get enough of those wings. Great music and a wonderful crowd as always. I’ll be back! lol
12–

We went into the back room, speak easy style section of this bar. The décor was very nice, speak easy style. The music was ok, nothing amazing, the dj basically put up a play list on itunes…
The drinks though, they were horrible! They tasted like cheap alcohol! we couldn’t even drink them. After only two sips, we left…
If you find yourself here, order a beer and skip the cocktails trust me.

Fat Black Pussy Cat is a good «pubby» bar to visit when you’re in the mood for drinks while in the city. On the night we visited the service was really REALLY slow; as there were only 2 bartenders and a considerable crowd waiting for celebratory Halloween drinks. Took like 20 minutes to get my drink after telling the bartender my order. However, the drinks were pretty good and decently priced (compared to other city prices). The décor is really comfortable and chill and the place is also dark (just how I like my pubs).

I’ve been wanting to make it over to FBPC for a while now. Halloween in the Village called for a visit. We arrived after midnight and there were no crazy lines.
Located next to Village Underground is FBPC. We paid the $ 20 Cover and headed to the basement to party. We hit the bar, bartenders were on point and the line moved fast. We were able to find a table for our party of 4 near the performance stage. Amina Buddafly was performing along side a great band. They performed a few covers and I really loved the diversity of the crowd. The DJ was skilled and played a variety of jams.
While seated we ordered wings and snacks from the menu. You can also place your drink orders. Priced right and tasty. Security was tight and they run a tight ship here. I love the interior design, very Goth and vintage. Unique light fixtures and ample space to sit. I had a ball here and Ill be back like Arnold Swartzenegger.

This is a cool after work spot. We walked in and sat at the booth because the bar was packed. No one came over to us to take drink orders so we decided to go up to the bar and take advantage of their HH.
I didn’t get the chance to experience the different rooms but where I was sitting was cool. Tables need to be leveled. One wrong move and there goes your drink.
Bathrooms are claustrophobically small. No breathing or turning room. A renovation needs to be in the works. Instead of two stalls, TFBPC should have one stall where there’s room to squat and wipe.
Drinks were good and weren’t of the cheap variety. I didn’t have a chance to experience the food. If I’m in the area I’ll be back.

Everyone has that one friend that makes them want to be a better person. That friend brought me here for a night of dancing, since even though I do not know how to dance I would gladly follow her anywhere. Anywhere is where we ended up, since this place could not decide what it wanted to be. At one point my poor friend was gyrating to «Respect» by Aretha Franklin, which made no damn sense — none!
Let me begin at the start. I presented identification to the nice gentleman at the door and there was a large bar to my left, booths to my right and toward the back of the entrance. Further to my left and toward the back of the bar there is a gothic-​inspired, dimly lit lounge area, with a waitress assigned to each table and attending to my party as we were lucky enough to snag a table (at 11pm this place was bumping and remained so through 3 am). We ordered drinks and sat for maybe half an hour before my friend wished to hit the dance floor. So a handful of girls relocated their crap and went to dance near the booths, since there was no actual dance floor, just packed spaces between booths toward the back of the bar where I was able to shake my ass and bump into people.
As I tried make up dance moves because I lack a rhythm gene, there were flat screens everywhere either showing the video of the song currently playing, some 70s TV movie of the week or a random sports event. Also, as my friend pointed out in her review, the music was inconsistent and primarily sucked. Following an old school reggaeton song with an 80s hair metal ballad does not speak well for any sort of theme or attempt at consistency. My friend vailantly attempted to dance to every single song that presented itself while I semi-​faked a knee injury somewhere around hour three. Also, shout out to our friend Blancito, who kept the creeps at bay and somehow was also a choreographer for Boyz II Men.
Some four hours after we initially entered the bartender informed me that I had to close out my tab with the waitress that originally attended to me in the lounge area. Running around at 3am to find the nice lady whose shift may well be over, but had my credit card, was not a fun experience. With the exception of the name, I am not a fan of this place and will not be returning.

Great place people music drinks nd prices !!! The bar !!! Westside
