Fat Harry’s

Visited this location while on the Uptown Halloween Pub Crawl. Seemed okay. No egregious issues. Maybe one of the more raucous locations especially considering location and usual clientele.

Pretty pricey place to go and have a beer. Food menu is pretty good but is also pricey. I give it four stars because their buffalo wings are THE best in the city. Worth the price.

Do not watch college football here. They would not switch a single set over to a different game and gave me hell about having a dip in.

Not a bad place to watch a game, grab a drink and get a bite to eat.
My college alumni foundation meets here for all the games. They always have the back room set up for us. The drinks seem affordable as well as the food. I can’t drink anymore so the water is nice, no off flavors! :)
The nacho’s are OK. I am a nacho fanatic, and I wish they were just a little better– basically if they had more stuff on them! I like the chicken caesar wrap, the chicken is grilled fresh! the chicken tenders seem to be hand battered and fried and come with a nice presumably house made honey mustard. The sliders are good too!
It is a little dirty and dark, but that’s what I would expect from a «sports bar»!

Best Shrimp Quesadilla I have ever had. I went there during lunch and I had heard good things about their food. This place is very spacious so I would think it would be a great hang out place during weekends or nights.

secret menu: ask for the grilled cheese burger; 2 grilled chese with a burger inside. with crispy bacon

A good place for an afternoon pint with substantial beer selection and first rate bar food options like sliders, cheese plate, fried classics, wings, nachos, etc. it’s not find dining but it’s Fat Harry’s, a NOLA staple.

After trying to figure out where to stop for a quick bite to eat, my friend and I decided to give Fat Harry’s a try.
The location was incredibly convenient and there were only a few other people in there which I assumed meant quick service.
While our service was lackluster at most, the food made up for it. I got the shrimp po boy with a side of rice and beans which both came out fresh and hot. I was happy that the server/​bartender provided me with remoulade sauce – which if I could have it my way I’d put it on close to everything. My friend and I also split three different sliders which were exceptional, too.
The next time I am in town, there is a chance I would come back based solely on the food and atmosphere.

Nice bar staff is really cool peeps. The Cajun burger is good but don’t get it on the onion bread! The baked potato was kind of hard but once broken up its was good with the toppings. I want to go on a Monday because they have a wing special and I love wings.

This is bar restaurant for food I got pulled pork sandwich and it was great I love the fried pickles on top and I never like pickles but the one I got tonight was perfect. The customer service was good but the only thing I was wondering why they did have daiquiri I thought all bars has it but I guess not overall we think we’re coming back here

One of my favorite sports bars from around the city featuring great bar food, a huge bar and a full beer selection. The bar is one of the longest in the city and they have outside seating along St. Charles Ave. Its a great place to meet friends, watch a game on the many tv screens and a whole lot of food choices. They also have specials for those who take part in Fantasy Football because you can get great specials for throwing you parties there as well as your fantasy draft. A great but very crowded spot to catch Mardi Gras parades as well as it is along the uptown parade route. Only drawback is that it doubles as a college bar and there are a lot of kids hanging around.

Normally, I find myself in Fat Harry’s when I am posted up outside for a parade and need to pee. On a whim, I went in with some friends to see if there was more to it than a bathroom.
Overpriced drinks — especially by this cities standards — and some of the most mediocre bar food I have ever had. Granted, I was not absolutely shitfaced — which is when bar food tastes it’s best — but still, it was pretty lackluster. Plus, the décor is just kind of cheezy frat /​college bar — the place has no soul.
Won’t be back unless I have to pee during Krewe D’tat

What can I say about Fat Harry’s that hasn’t already been said about some Fat guy named Harry?
Its a Brotastrophy of Frattiness.
As if a pastel polo bomb exploded everywhere.
Frat Flips?
Yeah brah, they got those too, brah.
Then why do I come here?
It is for one GLORIOUS reason: CLEMSON FOOTBALL.
This is where my Alumni Foundation meets to drink pitchers of beer and scream at the projection screen in the back.
The food isn’t terrible but it isn’t transcendent either. My advice would be for you to manage your expectations.
Its greasy bar food.
And sometimes… that’s all you need.

Another updated review of good ol’ Fat’s: it gets a stigma of being a college bar, but every time I come here, there’s a mixed crowd of people of different ages. I personally enjoy coming here to watch Saints games as they have reasonably priced drinks and pretty good food for a bar. Their wings are probably the best in the city in my opinion, and their pulled pork nachos are ah-​mazing (and I’m not even that big of a fan of pork)! Besides coming here for a game, it’s a great hangout bar for drinks and a game of pool with friends. It’s also a hotspot during Mardi Gras as it’s right on the parade route. All in all, whether you come here to watch the Saints play or to mingle with friends, you’ll have a good time!

It’s not cheap by New Orleans standards. We still paid $ 6+ for each beer, which seemed high. We paid cash for our drinks (I think we had 3 rounds) but had a credit card open because we also ordered food. Then the bartender charged us for additional drinks at the end of the night, we didn’t catch it till the next day. I think that was pretty damn shiesty of him. The chicken sandwich was good though. We did not return during our Nola visit.

Takes a licking and keeps on ticking comes to mind when I think of Fat’s. How many times has it caught on fire?
Located on St. Charles Ave along the streetcar line near the corner of Napoleon, Fat’s is a good bar. Sometimes it is a little overrun with the college crowd for me… but it’s super close to Tulane/​Loyola so that’s to be expected.
During Mardi Gras it is cash only, so be prepared for that. Got a great Bloody Mary last Saturday during Sparta from a friendly bartender. Bar food is pretty decent as well!

Fat Harry’s was one of the first bars I got a drink at, underage, a long time ago during Mardi Gras. I ordered a Long Island Iced Tea, ’cause I heard they’d get me drunk… ended up drinking two and falling through the seats where the booth ends and the next one begins…
Fast forward to now and after the fire renovations, I still have friends that like to head over to Fat’s for a couple of drinks. I miss the old booths because you could hide in them and have a little of your own space. The bouncers are always nice, and sometimes I enjoy watching the underage girls stomp and throw fits around them when they’re fakes aren’t accepted.
The crowd is mostly younger college kids just going to have a drink and meet up though you’ll get the occasional group of late 20-​early 30somethings and a couple or two in their 40s remembering the days of yore at Fat’s. I know I go to a lot of bars with a younger crowd, so it’s judge-​y for me to call Fat’s out for it, but there’s no dancing and I don’t get cheap drinks, so it’s hard for me to stick around Fat’s too long though some nights, it works. There cheese fries weren’t anything to write home about, but their wings are pretty tasty!
If you’ve got a krewe and you’re in the area, grab a seat out front, enjoy a couple of beers and watch the streetcars go by.

Fat Harry’s isn’t a bad little place.
We stopped in here on Lundi Gras after parades. They recently had a fire and redid the entire place, although it really doesn’t look all that different to me. By the time we got here, it was pretty empty. I guess the usual crowd had better things to do after the parade. I did have a good time dancing around to the music that was playing.
This probably isn’t a place I would seek out. From what I remember from years ago it’s mostly a college hang out and these days I am just too old to hang out with people under 23 (hair flip). I do hear that their grill is reopening soon, so maybe I will stop in just to see what they offer.

I spent many a night in Fat Harry’s during my formative years. One of my distant cousins used to work the door and always made sure we had the hookup. I miss those days.
Fast forward to adulthood and I am amazed that I hadn’t been back in forever. I must’ve forgotten about it until reading about the fire that gutted the inside. Thankfully the owners renovated the inside and got it back open for Carnival. While it isn’t exactly as I remembered, it was still fun. There was no food or tables, but the atmosphere and crowd were just as I had remembered.
Fat Harry’s will always hold a place near to my heart. I look forward to many more trips, and I can’t wait till they reopen the kitchen.
