What People Are Saying About Fat Cat Bar & Grill
The Editor

In Short – Glassy frontage looks sharp against an older facade. Inside the new-old line continues in a curved, deco-ish bar with vertical lamps and soft red-painted ceiling. Booths along one wall feature comfy wrap-around seating while four-tops line the perieter. Old photos of the 'hood make for interesting but sparse decoration. Two loaded taps service the mostly local crowd, and a capable kitchen puts out gussied-up comfort food, like crispy mac-n-cheese morsels and griddled sandwiches.

Great addition to the neighborhood!

We have been going to Fat Cat since they opened for drinks as well as watching Sunday football. Their drinks are great, I've tried all their martini's as well as their Bloody Mary's, and they have a good variety of beers. Try this place if you haven't The wait staff and management are friendly with the exception of my one unfavorite waitress. Give this place a try if you live in Uptown and support this bar, we really needed a neighborhood bar like this in Uptown.
- Pros: the martini's and food and the atmosphere
- Cons: just my unfavorite waitress, you'll know who she is if she waits on you

I am in LOVE!!!!!!!!!

I have heard some mixed reviews about this place but I have to say I went on Sat night and it blew my socks off!!!! The staff has character, the manager is adorable, and they all know how to turn you on to something new. I went in for lunch with my friends and loved it so much that we came back for drinks later in the evening. We had the manager making us drinks for lunch, the girl turned me back on to gin after swearing it off for years! This isnt your typical bar scene with bleach blonde cocktail waitresses in mini skirts, its totally diverse and caters to all types of crowds. Definatly check it out
- Pros: colorful wait staff, management, live dj, 1 block off the red line
- Cons: no parking

Great Improvement!!!

Gave the place a chance after a few bad experiences when they first opened. Had read a ton of great reviews on metromix so we decided to try it again. Great food, great drinks and we have a new favorite bartender in Chicago! Keep up the good work.
