Fat Black Pussycat

Voted #1 Lounge & Bar Scene - Friendly Hotspot - Perfect for Gatherings

  • 4 Rooms ~ 3 DJ s ~ 31 Martinis
  • Dance at Village Underground
  • Wonderful New Year's Tradition

A bar that has everything? Our front room maintains its historic roots to old Greenwich Village. A gallery of Village faces - in photographs and paintings - line the walls, documenting the bar's long history. Wooden booths, brick,and antique lighting give the bar its lived in, comfortable feel - informal and friendly.

The back room, hidden behind the curtain is a breath-taking change. Oriental rugs, Moroccan lanterns and the remnants of the buildings original 1880's windows set the tone. The music: selections from the greatest artists of the entire world. Antique couches, a full-on throne, and other plush nooks fill the space, forming a variety of cozy conversation pits.

Downtairs at our sister club you'll find a full blown hip dance lounge. Designed by O&D (Pangaea), Join the Village Underground: spectacular, cutting-edge, yet friendly.

And NY's best 10 oz Martinis!

Editorial Review for Fat Black Pussycat – by Julie Mehta

The Scene
On the surface, this bar appears to be just another noisy, crowded after-work or after-school scene. But move beyond the bar's 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.

I had never been here before, but I had heard great things. They have a beautiful lounge with great lanterns and couches. The drinks selection was fun, and we had a good time dancing downstairs. I was not the person who made the reservation, but I heard that the customer service was amazing.

Pros: Lounge Area

Cons: small restroom
