Fatty's - U.S. Virgin Islands

Stopped at Fatty's for a drink after a long day in the sun. This bar is upstairs on the second level above a pizza joint. We arrived just as happy hour was ending, so we were able to take advantage of the drink specials. My husband was craving a pina colada, but they don't have a blender to make frozen drinks. So, he ordered Pain Killers instead. The drink was good. This place is a dive bar, so keep that in mind. They had one pool table, some slot machines, Nintendo and Play Station, and the swinging ring toss game. We sat outside on the balcony and watched the scene below as people were out and about. They had colored Christmas lights on the balcony which was cool, and they had a really large mural of the islands. We only stayed for one drink.

I'm definitely a fan of Fatty's....one of the staples of Red Hook and for some reason whenever we are out we usually end up either starting here or ending here....either way its gonna be a good time! They are usually always part of pub crawls or other parties, and I have to say every time I'm here there is SOME form of entertainment, even if its just the people I came with! Their drinks are good, and the bartenders at night are super friendly and nice...they play good music too so that's always a plus! Its always nice to come here and people watch around Red Hook since they have their open seating area, and a great place if your friends are smokers too since you are already outside! They have a good number of tables as well, and you can usually get either a table or a place at the bar fairly easily. There's a pool table that gets a good amount of use, and the other night we came here and there was karaoke so that was definitely entertaining! It is a bit of a seedy place, and I really didn't like it when I first moved here, but now its grown on me and I have to say I'm a fan! Have had some great times here and now I'm attached to this place...it has a certain charm to it for sure! Another thing is I actually DO like their food as well! My favorite thing to get here is their Cuban Quesadilla....its like a Cuban Sandwich only in a quesadilla instead....and its awesome! Served with sour cream, I get it almost every time I come here, yes its greasy, yes its pub food....but its GOOD!!! Definitely try it out, one of my favorites!

Ordered here for the first time tonight! They were so nice and the food was absolutely amazing!!!

Disgusting dirty bar. Came in looking for some food for dinner and left promptly. No wonder no one talks about the food on here. I don't think they serve any. It was really loud and full of drunk annoying tourists. Pass!

Is it raining outside? Do you need a break from the USVI sun? Or are you just in the mood for a little juvenile entertainment? If you answered yes to any of the above questions, Fatboys is for you. I 'd recommend coming here during the day (evenings seem to be crazy and the bathroom becomes unbearable). The food isn 't excellent (wings were good but the salsa that came with the chips tasted like weed) but you can drink some cheap beers, play pool, and just chill out. The highlight of our trip to Fatboys was the Icing contraption the bartenders were building...basically a string, duct tape, and bindings created a sort of pulley that could be used to lower a bottle of Smirnoff into someone 's general vicinity and BAM...You 're Iced! Unfortunately for him (but hilarious for us), the bartender got smashed in the face with the bottle (black eye and all) while doing a test run . You can 't make this stuff up.
