Reviews
"This is a classic in Midtown, but after a couple trips, I can see why I was warned to not go. Fats has a history of dangerous occurrences, including many incidents of drinks getting spiked and sending students to the hospital. The bar is 21+ with a $10 cover, but anyone underage who pays the bouncer $20 can get in. Once you are in, there is no shoulder room since they pack it to the brim. The floor is sticky, so wear shoes you don't care about. That said, it is a good place to have a good time, but for me is more of a one and done."
"This place is a dangerous, hostile environment. On Saturday 12/11/21 the low-life bouncers literally kicked people out by beating them up and sending one guy to the hospital with a broken cheekbone - mind you, it wasn’t even 2am (official closing time) yet and no one was causing any trouble. The owner should be held liable and the bouncers should be criminally charged for what they did to all the patrons that night."
"Might take you a while to get in on a busy night but you’ll see what the fuss is all about. It’ll always be crowded, because everyone wants to be there. This is the place your parents warned you about. The loaded Coronas are sure to make you forget your ex. The dark atmosphere, loud music, and cheap drinks are sure to present you your next!"
"Couldn't stand this bar/club. Could barely move to dance and was constantly being pushed around by people trying to get by. A tightly bunched mosh pit is probably the best description of this place. Alcoholic slushy did not live up to expectations."
"Most r@cist place I have ever encountered. Bartender for no reason at all went crazy on my African American friend. All she did was ask for her card back after ordering her drink. Bartender stuck up both middle fingers at us and said you guys need to get the f out. She went and got the "manager" and he told us the same thing. I asked him what is the reason for this and no answer could be given. All he kept saying was I need you guys to leave. For no reason AT ALL. As we were leaving we stopped to sit to the side away from the bar and a bouncer grabbed my boyfriend telling him we need to go. My boyfriend standing up for his own rights asked him not to touch him like that and before I knew it he was getting thrown out of the bar. When we got out of the bar I told the bouncer he was crazy and there is no reason he should have grabbed him like that. Random guy outside tossed my drink onto the floor and pushed me to where I stumbled. My boyfriend then of course got upset and asked this guy what is wrong with him. This guy was like 6'2 and threw a punch at my boyfriend. The police came and were not able to help us at all. They said if we filed a report against the guy who went violent on my boyfriend and myself that they would both go to jail.. leaving us no choice but to walk away from that place. Disgusting people work and go there. Bartenders drink on the job and bouncers are horrible people.! Worst place I've ever been to."
