Saw the security guard harassing customers and threatening to physically assault them. NEVER coming back again.

Nice place

This is one of the few places in New York where you can enjoy live jazz at affordable prices. The venue is legendary (formerly Fat Cat) and offers plenty of games — pool, board games, and more — to go along with the music. The bands are good, not the very best in New York but quite decent considering the low cover charge. On weekdays, admission is around $5, and on weekends we paid $10 each.
The only real downside is the staff — rude, to say the least. I understand they might be used to dealing with young crowds and heavy drinkers, but we were treated poorly both times we went to the bar. They also tend to push the most expensive beer if you’re not specific with your order. I asked for a lager and ended up with one twice the price of their house beer. Overall, it often felt like we weren’t welcome there, and at one point, the lady behind the bar even yelled at me when I politely asked for a replacement drink.

Just enough lights to see the acts. Good talent selection, excellent price. Lively. Recommended.

Love this place. I like going when it is quite right around opening.

Amazing live jazz music and great selection of games

Love it. Seems like a relic of the past… maybe the 80’s or something. My wife and I drop in sometimes for a beer and some pool just for fun.

Ooh so much fun. Loved the vibe and the live jazz while playing pool. They have a few ping pong tables, shaffle boards, a bunch of pool tables, board games. I'd go back there.

Came here for a surprise pop up show for MGK. He performed some of his songs and the sound quality was great! But this place was definitely not set up for this type of venue. It was very crowded and tight spaced. Drinks spilt all over the floor, and not really organized at all. Staff and security was very present so that did make it feel more safe. It seems like a chill spot, just not equipped for that type of show
Awesome venue, drinks are good, jazz wonderful…been there multiple times, and it’s always been fun. Staff and the security people are kind... Overall IMMACULATE west village vibes ❤️❤️

I used to come here after work once in a while, when I worked across the street from this place. I recently came back after 3 years and the place hasn't change, I still had a great time with my Sis. Highly recommended!

Walked down the stairs, met security....his friends (group of 6) happened to show up 2 seconds after I did. He started letting them in first. I walked right out.

$11 wine. Great live music (free entry if you arrive an hour before music starts). Brain in your own food. Perfect spot to enjoy an evening alone or with others.
