Karen SweeneyMarch 18, 2010<3 <3 <3 this place - awesome micro brews, live local jazz, tons of table games and a dog named handsome that walks around to greet you. Def worth the wait and only go after midnight - $3 cover!
Oz LublingAugust 6, 2014Love the whole games concept around this place. Especially the ping pong tables.
Tina Bou safiFebruary 26, 2013Very nice jazz club! Cheap beer! You can play scrabble,ping pong,Billiard,chess... There
RazorfishSeptember 19, 2011A game-player or music lovers paradise - Fat Cat has something for everyone: pool, ping pong, jazz band, boardgames, etc.
Bring your girlfriend here when your male friends invite you here to play ping pong. You'll have a great time watch her beat them.
Citybeams.comJune 24, 2012It's game city down here! Pool, ping pong, shuffleboard, chess, scrabble.... So you can listen to some sick jazz music while you drink and play games. Not too shabby.
Village VoiceNovember 14, 2011Winner of Best Bar to Play Games in the Village Voice 2011 Best Of issue! They offer foosball and ping pong tournaments for you competitive drunks.
They just got 2 new shuffle board tables. Great because more game power but the new tables are smaller. Older ones are better
Amanda RellaJuly 30, 2018Always super crowded and has a dingy feeling. The jazz music is nice but the main focus here is the games. Be prepared for long waits though.
Paul Le RollandNovember 19, 2013Loved this place! Don't forget to take a ticket when you order your first drink so you don't wait to much !- Brett WallaceMarch 18, 2013Ping pong, PBR, and jazz = good times. Don't go looking for liquor though, just beer and wine here.
Karen PhilipsJuly 6, 2013Live jazz music. Cheap drinks. Play Pool, foosball, ping pong, shuffle board scramble&many other games. $3 cover.
Mariana PantalenaJune 27, 2015Good for playing pool and ping pong. There not a lot of options of cocktails.
Bucket of PBR. Shuffleboard. Repeat. Be careful though, you seriously lose track of time since you're in the basement and the clock adds up some major dollas...
Pop/hip hop upstairs. Live jazz downstairs. Great after work, Friday or Saturday night refuge!
Gabriel HayesJuly 10, 2015One of my favorite bars in the Village. Has a small cover but worth it for the fun.
Amazing place, jazz---> Foosball, billiards, table tennis, slider... Awesome...:)
Mikahla VicinoSeptember 14, 2017A game of Scrabble and a little live jazz make for one fun and relaxing evening.
Sergey NazarovMarch 11, 2012Its basically hipster Disney Land in a basement. They also have live Jazz sometimes, which can be quite good.
- Make sure to get one of the two full size 22 foot shuffleboard tables, the smaller 16 ft ones are for wimps.
- All 9 pool tables have had their cloths replaced as of October 2014. You can no longer blame your missed pots on the poor table surface!
Cole KennedyFebruary 3, 2016Feels like a bar in a suburb circa 1985 where divorcées go and give their kids a fistful of quarters while they get hammered and hook up in the back seat of a Buick.
Dinesh PrajapatiSeptember 9, 2011This place is bound to have something for everyone. They have a full bar as well, but I feel like most people here just drink PBR. "I wanna dance!"
Get there early on weekends to claim a pool table. Live jazz!
The table tennis tables are high quality, the nets are mediocre. There are some legit paddles to borrow: sticky enough for all your crazy spin serves.
Washington Square HotelMay 22, 2012Live jazz every night as well as pool, pong, shuffle, chess and more.
Mike & Anne HoneyTrek.comJune 24, 2011Delirium tremons on tap, pool, shuffle board, ping pong, scrabble, cards, checkers, fooseball & live jazz...get after it. Read more
alarivaOctober 1, 2014Lots of game tables, great live bands and couches for your cocktails, all in a single fun place.
BYOW(hiskey)! Or you'll really have the blues...they only serve beer and wine.
Sue CDecember 15, 2013Where else can you get a ping pong game in and listen to the top emerging Jazz Artists?!?
