Fat Cat

The Fat Cat jazz club, games room, and bar is the ideal place for an "underground" experience. First, it is literally underground: you enter Christopher Street and walk down some stairs to get to a huge local room. The first thing you see when you enter is a bar to the left, but then you can discover pool tables, foosball, ping-pong tables, chess, and backgammon sets that are spread over a vast area of this area. It seems scattered, but on the other hand, there has been an attempt to clean up a nice corner with a piece of carpet and a second-hand sofa. In this corner the jazz bands play; some are better known or more acclaimed than others.
