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
Fun place after all these years. Always love to visit when back in town

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.

My friend and I sat down at the bar for a few drinks and some appetizers. The two bartenders on staff had to be called over several times and were met with attitude, almost bothered by doing their job. Bar tenders were standing around eating behind the bar, oblivious to their customers. A very intoxicated man came in and sat to my left, and was shockingly still being served. The man was touching my arm, and I had to shout “DO NOT TOUCH ME”. Staff did nothing about it, and we had to move to the other side of the bar to get away from him. Food was mediocre at best. We ordered the cheese fries and crab dip. The fries came with a small amount of cheese, and the dip was bland and tasted frozen. It’s a shame the service and food are horrible here - the bar itself was very cozy and kitschy. Safe to say, we will NEVER come here again.

Wouldn't let 2 of our party in, and wouldn't say why. They all had an id and all of age.

Don’t trust the menu pricing. I was charged $12.45 for Cajun fries and a miller lite, and shocked by the steep pricing, especially since I wasn't informed of the total beforehand. Despite waiting patiently for over 20 minutes, the Cajun fries I anticipated turned out to be nothing more than regular fries sprinkled with black pepper and salt. On top of that, I found the bartender's mannerisms off-putting, as he addressed customers with terms like "baby" "baby girl” “I love you”, and even went as far as to put his hand on my shoulder while serving the fries I had waited so long for. This experience left me thoroughly disappointed with both the behavior of the staff and the overall atmosphere of the establishment, and will definitely not be returning.

I went to there open mic and it was pretty chill experience. I liked the open mic because it had amps and mic stands so I could preform my music really loud. I had someone also hop up and do some drums with me. I have been a couple of time and they got the same set up every time. I would go to the open mic and preform you songs that you write. I try and write a song every day and doing open mic and Fats is awesome.
