Ben FunkAugust 25, 2014Great place for a casual night out with friends. Live jazz, board games, shuffleboard and ping ping.
Kathryn DMay 22, 2016Cheap drinks and plenty of ping pong tables. Great place to waste away a Sunday afternoon.
Oz LublingAugust 6, 2014Love the whole games concept around this place. Especially the ping pong tables.
Paloma OrtizMarch 11, 2015Board games, pool, pimpong, foosball, live music and a bar. Pretty chill place
Pop/hip hop upstairs. Live jazz downstairs. Great after work, Friday or Saturday night refuge!
- Make sure to get one of the two full size 22 foot shuffleboard tables, the smaller 16 ft ones are for wimps.
Tina Bou safiFebruary 26, 2013Very nice jazz club! Cheap beer! You can play scrabble,ping pong,Billiard,chess... There
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!
Mikahla VicinoSeptember 14, 2017A game of Scrabble and a little live jazz make for one fun and relaxing evening.
Guillaume FlandreNovember 1, 2014This place is like no other: live jazz music, free food, pool, table tennis, chess, shuffle board. Wow.
Karen PhilipsJuly 6, 2013Live jazz music. Cheap drinks. Play Pool, foosball, ping pong, shuffle board scramble&many other games. $3 cover.
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!"
Ryan PottsApril 11, 2011Great for sipping wine and quietly playing scrabble or pounding beers and getting rowdy over a game of ping pong. Also, it's easy on the wallet!
MarissaFebruary 17, 2013Really crowded - make sure you get there early and preferably not on a Saturday night. Otherwise it's a really cool place!
Mariana PantalenaJune 27, 2015Good for playing pool and ping pong. There not a lot of options of cocktails.
Amazing place, jazz---> Foosball, billiards, table tennis, slider... Awesome...:)- 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!
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.
Get there early on weekends to claim a pool table. Live jazz!
Sergey NazarovMarch 11, 2012Its basically hipster Disney Land in a basement. They also have live Jazz sometimes, which can be quite good.
RazorfishSeptember 19, 2011A game-player or music lovers paradise - Fat Cat has something for everyone: pool, ping pong, jazz band, boardgames, etc.
Sue CDecember 15, 2013Where else can you get a ping pong game in and listen to the top emerging Jazz Artists?!?
They just got 2 new shuffle board tables. Great because more game power but the new tables are smaller. Older ones are better
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
- Brett WallaceMarch 18, 2013Ping pong, PBR, and jazz = good times. Don't go looking for liquor though, just beer and wine here.
