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 my 25th bday party at the FBPC in late Sept and I had a blast! PROs: The Moroccan lounge was roomy enough and gorgeous, making it the perfect place for a large group to hang out. The drinks were great too! The waitress was super friendly and made great and honest suggestions about the drinks too. I usually choose places like this since they are not pretentious and overpriced and you get treated with respect as they realize how important good word of mouth is along with return patrons. CON: the bathrooms! Its the only thing i can think of. They were tiny and as the line to the ladies room is always long and is right next to the pool tables, you have to avoid getting poked with a pool stick while in line.

I planned a bachelorette party here in June and the service was fantastic. The party organizer, Gypsee, was very accomodating and incredibly responsive. The music was perfect - good mix of pop/hip hop/dance/old school throughout the night. We were at the downstairs dance club all night. I don't think I sat once. We had plenty of room to spread out in the reserved area. The best part was the price. I researched many of the"hot spots" but quickly learned of $1000/bottle minimums and read reviews about the rude service. At FBP, there was no bottle service required so we could all drink what we want and pay a fair price. Our waitress was attentive. The night could not have been better.
