Fat Charlie’s Speakeasy

I’d been wanting to check out this speakeasy-style bar for a while—and finally made it. A friend and I went together, though finding the place was a bit of an adventure (as expected from a true speakeasy). There’s no sign, no neon, nothing that screams “bar.” Just a closed, unmarked door. But once you step inside, it feels like entering a whole different world.

The space is classy and intimate—think plush lounge seating rather than your typical bar stools. The vibe is mellow and sophisticated, with soft background music playing from a few TVs, but nothing too loud or chaotic.

We were greeted and seated right away. A manager (or possibly the owner) came over and proudly mentioned that the bar has been ranked among the top in the country. Instead of a traditional menu, they asked about our preferences and made recommendations. I’m not a big whiskey fan, so they customized an Old Fashioned for me with tequila instead—which turned out to be a fun twist.

A standout detail: they serve their drinks in elegant ceramic cups instead of glasses, which adds to the whole speakeasy charm. My friend stuck with the classic Old Fashioned and even went for a second round.

Now, fair warning—the check is on the steep side. We paid $85 for just three drinks, including gratuity, which definitely felt pricey. But if you’re looking for a unique, upscale bar experience with a great ambiance, this spot is worth a visit. Recommended, especially if you’re into hidden gems.

Literally one of the worst bars I have ever been to. Overpriced. Watered down drinks. We're not the only ones on this Island and we all know it.

Laid back, chill vibe. Intimate setting for date night, friends, and/or family.

I came here at 4pm, which your website states is the time you open, and was told you open at 5pm. At 5:20 the same day, I came back, and the door was locked. Are you open or not? No phone number listed, so I can't call and find out. You seem to be a bit unorganized. Please respond and maybe add a phone number.

I thoroughly enjoyed the experience & will definitely visit again!

I've lived in Harbor Town since 2006, this is the spot locals love and feel safe. It's a twist of love, kindness, fun, in a classy way. Everyone is welcome in. Once you get inside, don't start nothing! Sit down relax and have fun!

Stopped at FC speakeasy while passing through town, it was a great cozy little place with very kind owners. I came in for one cigar and ended up staying for two cigars and an old fashioned drink. I would love to visit again!

Great place to relax after work or to take your special person to. Don't.miss this one !
