I love this place. They have a great ambience and 2 pool tables. Sometimes they have live music (with a cover). They have pretty good prices on bottled Hoegaarden which I love! Bad thing is the bartender can be slower than molasses if they get busy, no hustle.

I've lived ten minutes from this place for a decade and had no idea it existed but better late than never.Black Cat offers a nice reprieve from the City Heights mayhem just outside its doors. The photos on Yelp truly don't do the place justice. It's not huge but has two pool tables, a cool upstairs loft/lounge hangout spot, a music stage and a full bar offering every liver killer under the sun. It's super clean and well kept. As a music venue it has surprisingly good acoustics that really give performers a warm sound.Friendly service, friendly pours. Cheers.

My friend and I stopped in Black Cat Bar for drinks before a nearby show on Saturday night. It is a cute place that felt very cozy and welcoming on a cold, rainy night. there are a couple pool tables, a small bar, and an upstairs balcony with a fancy sofa, and an area that I couldn't see from the bar. There are cute black cat decorations everywhere. When I walked in the juke box was playing Joy Division, followed by several more dark wave tunes. I didn't have the chance to go through the juke box, but I liked what I heard. It wasn't crowded at 7:30 on a Saturday night, which was nice because there was plenty of space, but hopefully they draw a good crowd later and on other nights.I was drinking whiskey sours. They were simple, but the prices were great. Three Bulleit sours cost only $18. If I lived in the neighborhood, I would definitely make this my home bar.... cute place, friendly bartenders, cheap drinks and good music!

We went to see a local band perform at the bar. Parking could have been difficult later, but we found street parking near the bar. The bar is beautifully decorated with various black cat motifs and the service is prompt and friendly. They seem more geared towards beer than wine, the server joked (at least I think she was joking) that my wife got the only wine glass that they have and the only bottle, but it was a good bottle! There was no food available at the bar, but we were told that we were free to hit the taco stand directly across the street. So overall, it was a good fun bar, with a couple pool tables. Where it really excels is as a place to watch bands (though I will bring my newly purchased high fidelity ear plugs next time)- there is no bad seat in the house and the energy level is incredible. I heartily recommend the place. Only thing keeping me from 5 stars would be a little more variety on the wine and some bar food (i.e. bags of peanuts or chips to purchase).W

OMG how I wish this place was way closer to home. I would be here all the time. Great venue for music. Super nice staff. Cute bar and layout. Great for small bands. Sound was great. But the greatest of all greatest is that the two drinks we ordered were 7 bucks for both That's right. SEVEN DOLLARS FOR TWO DRINKS. One was a beer but the other was a vodka soda. Hello. There is nowhere anywhere where drinks are that cheap outside of happy hour. so I was very happy for the two hours I was there.Please go and visit the Black Cat Bar. Your wallet will thank you. And the bands that play there are great.
