Fat Cat

Amazing bar for a fun night out: board games, foosball, air hockey, billiards, and more. Here’s what you need to know! - there is a cover charge, we paid $10 each - they do check for ID up front - bar can get hectic, but there’s a solid choice of beers, ciders, soft drinks, basic cocktails - plenty of tables to sit and relax - each game has a small fee, whether it’s a board game or billiards so bring cash! My boyfriend took me here and we had a solid night of brews and games. There was also an amazing jazz band that we enjoyed while we were there :)

Walked in on a Sunday night with $3 admission fee. The band started playing around 9pm. If you want a seat at the church-pew-like-bench, might want to get to the stage at least 20 min before the show time. Atmosphere is very chill and relaxed, just a neighborhood dive bar with open game scenes. Good for a chill conversation over a bottle of beer, but nothing fancy or spectacular.

The place has good vibe - but don’t understand the $10 cover and then they charge for every game, there is no enough seating tables. The game options are very limited and even the drink options. Their have very few beer options. The Jazz band was really good - we enjoyed the band play. But overall the place is very okayish.

Been to my fair share of bars with a couple of pool tables, a little arcade, and maybe even some foosball - but no other spot dedicated to being a big jazzy game hall like this. There's enough of each game that even when it gets crowded you'll always have something to do and it's a great time. If I lived in NYC, Fat Cat would be my go-to! This place is magic!

I was here for a friends Bday party. Low key basement spot where you can get your drink on, play some games, and listen to live music. There was a $3 cover and they were checking ID last time I was here. The games: They have Ping Pong, Pool Table, foosball, shuffleboard, chess, and checkers. Pricing for pingpong is $7 per person per hour. In essence $14 per hour for a game with 2 players. You get two paddles + a ball and you get decent space to play your game or share with other people in your party. Foosball is about $2 in quarters you get change from the bar. Beers range in the $4-$7 range, wine is about $7 per glass. You can also get bagged potatoe chips and nuts (cashews/almonds/ pistaccios $2 per cup) Live music: On the Saturday I went they had Jazz and you can take a seat to appreciate the musicians. It can get loud in here with so much going on all at the same time. With all being said i still had a great time with my friends and would recommend Fat Cat. It is very spacious so you can go with large parties and multiply the fun. Right off the 1 train at Christopher Street.

Great place to spend evening at! You can always play pool here, or table tennis, or table football, or chess/checkers, or just enjoy the bar. The atmosphere here is fantastic, you literally feel both the spirit of friendly competition and relaxed bar mood. If you are ever going to play tennis here, try to take table #4 cause it has walls on the sides and do not contact with other tables.

Interesting combination of love jazz music and games. Open late. Pick from table tennis, pool, foosball, chess or shuffle board. The wait for pool table was unreasonable, same for table tennis... Actually the only game we got to play was shuffle board which was right next to the band. Altogether great evening.

Dive-y in many aspects, Fat Cat is an interesting novelty. Beer, Wine and Soju span the drink options. The venue is filled with pool, ping-pong and shuffleboard tables and live music is common. Prices range with $5 Narraganset lager and it goes up from there. Game rentals might be a bit pricey for some starting at $6.50 per person/per hour but it's definitely an offering you won't find as easily in midtown.
