In Short – This Mardi Gras-themed chain may be familiar to those who have visited its other locations. The inside is decorated with neon beer signage, steel seating and televisions at the bar. Live bands occasionally perform for customers sipping on fruity drinks and MGDs. Finger foods are offered for those interested in fries with their pina colada, and in the summertime, al fresco drinking offers the opportunity to take in the sights and smells of South Street.

Bouncers with an attitude

by jfrey

We have gone to this place many times in the past, but I will never go there again. It used to be pretty crowded on the weekends with decent music and dancing. The drinks have always been overpriced unless you go for happy hour. Last night a group of us went around nine. The place was completely dead, but that did not stop the bouncer from harassing us about every ten seconds and calling my friend names. This place has a reputation for bouncers with an attitude but this is the first time I experienced it. There is no reason to go to a place with expensive drinks, no atmosphere, and staff who treat you badly for no good reason. In my opinion South Streets bar scene has plummeted. Go to Old City.

  • Pros: Frozen drinks are good
  • Cons: Bouncers on a power trip and expensive drinks

Great variety of Frozen drinks

by blackrose826

Ok, it's not exactly the bar to meet people, it's not the bar to dance at, but it is the bar to chill, have a few awesome tasting drinks & chat with friends, & if you're into sports, watch the game. The food is tasty, I recommend the appetizer sampler, but what people really go to Fat Tuesday's for is the frozen drinks, there's no 'virgin' here, they all have grain, 151, or both, plus other alcohol, with flavors you'll find no place else. The strongest is the 190 Octane, it has quite the kick. A drink with a suicide shot (in a vial & you never know what it'll be) is $7 & well worth your money, a few drinks & you'll have quite the alcohol buzz going.......

  • Pros: Awesome Frozen Drinks, Good place to chill, Worth your money
  • Cons: no comfy seating, sad looking restrooms

Yummy!

by archergurl

Fat Tuesday's is the most delicious stop on the South Street crawl. If you don't sample at least 3 of the mouth-watering mixed drinks like the sweettart or octane you are missing some of the best drinks in the city!
