Great atmosphere. Hadn't been there in years. Good memories. Clean, respectable place.

Me and my Fiancé went here 10-11-2024 a Friday night to celebrate her sister’s Birthday. Everytime we paid to play our music someone overpaid so our music didn’t play. Time to check out our pool balls the OWNER deliberately ignored our presence. A white couple approached behind us and he quickly serviced them and ignored us. We spent close to $100 in 20 minutes. This is definitely a racist and discriminating establishment. I advise any non Caucasian person not to go there or spend your money there. RACISM is there. First experience of it here in Cedar Rapids Iowa. SMMH!!

Fat Wally's ain't what it used to be. I'm not saying anything bad about it. But It just ain't the same.

Great place to play pool, lots of tables. This is a cash only bar, they do have an atm, no kitchen here. The pool table are in great shape, they have both by the hour and by the game tables.

So fun! Pretty laid back during the week, then gets busy at the weekend. The owner Kurt, is a long-time bar owner (since '82 I believe), is a very personable guy who knows his industry! He can give tons of historical info on establishments in Cedar Rapids downtown area.

Got the name of a state or city or a body part as a nickname? This is the place for you. Classic pool hall. Seven foot and eight foot tables. Eight and nine ball racks at every table. Decent to average house cues. Chalk vending machine. The tables are unlimited play by the hour and there are a few coin opp tables as well. Good selection of beer and spirits. Clean and well kept. Underground location adds extra cool factor. Big spacious room. Usually not busy during the week and busy on the weekends. Cash only with ATM on premises. Dart boards and table soccer, too. No food but the owner is cool and let's you bring in carry out from other places.

Go here at least once in your life to get the experience of a classic style pool hall. Then go many more times!

It was amazing. Old American pool hall with dart boards and foosball tables. Bring cash. No credit cards

Inexpensive place to kick back and play pool. They charge by the hour and drinks are cheap.

Fat Wally's doesn't open until 6:00 p.m. A classic worn out pool hall in downtown cedar rapids. The tables are level but quite thread bare, many with drinks spilled on them. Bring your own cue because very few here are worth even trying to play with. No chalk cone to be found, extremely large roaches both guarding and inhabiting the men's bathroom. A good beer selection that's a little too warm even for English beer. Looks good, but enough disappointing factors to only give this place 2 Stars. Oh, the music was pretty good and not too loud, you could still carry on a conversation. Wally needs to raise his rates, recover the tables and get a few new sticks.
