8 reviews for Fat Tuesday
Ah...Fat Tuesday...memories of the Grove.
This was how we started our PJ Pub Crawl on Saturday. It was a good start though, but the place is merely ok.
Being an open air bar, you can expect it to be hot! It can also get crowded especially in the walkway that runs through it.
The bartenders are cool and so are the bouncers. The music was ok. We had Newcastle, but this seemed to be way more watered down than at any of the other bars we went to. Don't know why. It was served in a cup but we had others that were served in cups and were much better than this one. I mean it was so bad I had to get lime and squeeze it in to be able to drink it.
All in all, had a good time. But this place is easily forgettable.
Other than having an awesome location in the Grove, especially for UM students that can drink without having to drive, someone please explain to me... HOW IS THIS PLACE STILL GOING??!!!

With total *$#%^* for 'bouncers' and a truly hopeless manager, I can honestly say that this is the… Read more »
Another OMFG experience at Fat Tuesday.
Old school 90's hip hop enticed us, so we walked in.
Small (like living room small), a DJ, and a roomful of people. That's it?! Oh, come on.
The bar was nowhere to be found and we were too annoyed to explore.
Walked in, 10 minutes later, walked out.
The men were aggressive for the most part, so be careful, ladies. They won't leave you alone after saying NO.
You need to check yoself before you wreck yoself.
Wow, no one seems to like this place! Well I have to say it is a pretty raunchy establishment. I actually used to work at the Cocowalk bar but don't worry I wasn't an obnoxious bouncer. I was a cocktail server/bartender and honestly the drinks are pretty strong. An extra shot in your Cat 5 only cost like $1 so the $8 for a drink isn't bad. If you go to a daiquiri bar to order wine or a sour apple martini you deserve to have a crappy drink. Stick to shots or one liquor drinks because we were always busy when I was there, and no one wants to wonder what a Surfer on Acid is when they have like 50 people wanting drinks all crowding the bar. They don't serve food so go to Hooters, get some wings and then bring them back. But guys, stop hating on Fat Tuesdays...it is what it is. A bar, an outdoor bar, a nasty hot and sweaty bar. Embrace it, accept it and learn to love it.
As you can see from the other reviews, most of which are 2 stars, Fat Tuesday is nothing to write home about. However, it's not terrible, either IMO. This is one of those places where you just gotta take it for what it is. It's an open air bar on the second floor of CocoWalk. There is a wide walkway running through the middle of this bar that must be kept open for people shopping or dining at CocoWalk to get from one side of the mall to the other. They've got a full bar, several machines with pre-mixed slushy drinks like pina coladas, frozen margaritas and daiquiris in them and a few plasma screens to show sporting events or videos. You can sit at the bar or sit or stand at one of the high tables that are scattered around. They don't serve food and there's really nothin' sexy or terribly memorable about the place. Good for a pre-dinner or pre-movie drink if you're meeting a group of friends at this mall, or an OK spot to grab a drink after dinner. It does get crowded late on Friday and Saturday nights and if they have a DJ, it can get really loud as well. If you come on the weekend or during peak times, expect to pay usual Miami bar prices for drinks. However, on Thurday nights they have beer specials with $1 Buds/ $2 for most other beers.
Here you'll pay too much for your watered down drinks but get a bit of a view. An open air bar on the second floor overlooking the Coco Walk area in Coconut Grove, this Fat Tuesdays is Great... for a "Stick it to the tourist" bar. And people wonder why tourism is down in this area.
Came here with a group of people which made it fun. kinda. Good music (although i do not give credit to the DJ. when i heard these 5-6 songs in a row, i realized i have that cd!) gross crowd. some juicehead playing knockout kept trying to pick fights with one of the guys in our group. it was pathetic. we got a kick out of it. this place is not my thing.
this place kinda lost it's charm. 3 years ago it was nothing the way it was now. it used to be a really good hang, having a 190 octane with 3 vodka vials wouldn't kill anyone. the music was pretty good for the time. the crowd was also quite fun, one time a drunk guy climbed up the fountain wall that leads to the balcony...that was a sight to behold. the last time i went is when it started to fizzle, the bouncers are total assheads, you went in once, you left for a moment and you still had to show your id even though you show that they stamped you the first time!! the music started to get really bland...marching music with lil wayne..very strange. the bartenders started putting more juice in my drinks than actual alcohol, and the crowd just seemed really bored. i hope this place could get better somehow because the direction i see it going in is downhill. i have such fond memories of this place.
