Overall the experience was great until the waiter chased us down and called us BROKE and told us to come not come back over a tip. We did too but he didn’t like a tip that one of my friends left and told us if we can’t afford to come out then we should come. Just unacceptable. Lost a fistful because we were regulars .

Thursday night karaoke is literally the best thing happening within a 10 mile radius. Power hour at 8pm! Ask for Mo!

I was excited about the $5 dollar half dozen oysters, out of 18 I ate half had shells in it. They’re already preshucked so seemed a little dry. Service was slow, had to repeatedly ask for things. Seemed like a good spot, just got a bad card.

Not what I expected!! Great authentic food, great bartender... seems like a locals bar. Definitely a bar, BUT!! NOT bar food.

Amazing people and vibe!

I’ve been coming here since I turned 21. It’s my favorite local bar and always will be.

We visited late night on Thanksgiving and the bartenders were making fun of the woman leading karaoke.

One jerk even went up and turned down her mic and started laughing about it! I was really enjoying the karaoke and thought they were so rude. Do better.

the bartenders are great and sweet! but the girl who does karaoke plays favorites and doesn’t let people who aren’t her friends sing. kinda messed up

My favorite bar since I moved over here. Nice chill vibe, beer is cheap and the food is good, bartenders are great, free peanuts.

Always have a great time coming here for some brewskies with my buds.

Even though the kitchen shut down like a pumpkin after 10 pm. Zach made my first visit unforgettable! And get this, I spotted the most beautiful woman named Mariana here. Fingers crossed I bump into her again next weekend. Oh and how could I forget the vibe? Eliza’s energy is off the charts, she’s like a service ninja with a killer smile. Honestly, just watching her work is entertainment enough. The whole crew here is awesome and the atmosphere is on point. All this place needs is a midnight snack menu to be perfect!

Hard to judge the quality of the food when you’re not even acknowledged for over 20 minutes. For over a decade, my family has been coming here for drinks before seeing movies at the theater next door, and we always have had a good experience previously.

Tonight my dad and I went for happy hour, seated ourselves as indicated by a sign, and were flat out ignored for over 20 minutes. I made eye contact with at least 2 employees multiple times, and was ignored. No one came to give us menus, no one came to ask us our drink order, even when a server delivered food to a nearby table. The servers hung out behind the bar playing on their phones, wandering around aimlessly, drinking, and snacking. Customers were actually bussing their own tables. Even when we got up to be leave, fed up with waiting, no one even paid attention. Luckily Oh George was nearby and we got our drinks in less than 5 minutes there.

Very disappointed with the way service was nonexistent at Fats.
