Great atmosphere This bar is ALWAYS packed!! They have great drink specials. There are several different theme rooms to chill in. Prices are okay. Great place if you like crowded bars and fun.

fat jack's Pretty cool set-up. It's your typical frat boy bar with college age and 20 to 30 somethings making up most of the crowd. Usually pretty busy with decent drink specials.

Best Bar In Bloomington – I don't know where the last two reviews came from, but if they had that sort of experience at Fat Jacks they must have been acting way out of line. I've gone to this bar for 10+ years and have always been treated with respect. The food, service and selection of Beer and Liquor is second to none. Oh, they are also celebratibrating thier 15th year in businness this year with a party on May 19th! They must be doing something right because I'm always among a good crowd of people! See you there!

A Bigoted and Racist Bar – Apart from the decor or the beer selection, this place is altogether bad when it comes to their staff and management. I was told by a red haired manager in the dance room amidst a volley of racial slurs including but not limited to: referring to me as a "dog", "white trash", which he followed with a whistling and a snap of his fingers and began to point to the floor. I had been dancing on a raised platform which he had been allowing others(female patrons) to dance on. A clear case of sexual discrim... read more

fat jacks serving food – I just tried the food at Fat Jacks! Let me tell you it is not your average pub food. They offer a Muffaletta sanwich that is better than any I had in New Orleans and they offer 4 different styles of BBQ on the smoked pulled pork sanwich. All reasonably priced. In fact everything on the menu is under $10. By the way the $10 item is Smoked Trout and worth every penny. Of course I always finish with a pint of one of their fine draft beer selections! Obviously I did'nt eat all this in one sitting, so yes... read more

WARNING: this bar is a waste of your time and money – This is usually the place all the college kids go. Cops are always lurking within the building and around it, waiting for drunks to make a mistake. The service for a beer takes atleast 3-5 minutes. They are understaffed on bartenders and the bouncers are extremely pushy. Shortly, after last call the bouncers are quick to get people out, even if you are trying to close your tab or as a designated driver they will make you wait outside(reguardless the weather). The managers... read more
