Waitress had attitudes .They made a simple mistake and made a big issue.Ordered chicken and fries separately .Paid with 2 $5 bills.waitress didnt remember 1st who ordered it .Then forgot my fries and claimed I didnt order them.kept 1 of my 5's and got indignant realizing she may have forgotten and went to get my 5 she says from her own money.Give me my money and next time dont try and steal from a first time customer.I left once she gave me my 5.W;o my fries.both waitresses were rude.Enjoyed pool table.Im sure it could have been better but,2 is all I can give this bar.

Worst bar in Indianapolis!!!!!Especially if u are an African American female. The bartender on Saturdays kicked me out of the bar "Twice" because I placed GUM!!!On my plastic cup ( which I paid $10 for). She harassed me and my friend the rest of the evening, and insisted I "apologize" to her for putting "GUM" on my plastic cup. I will NEVER go to this bar again. Not a safe place for African American females to go on Saturday due to the Bartender's bias & prejudices towards African-American females.....

  • Daryl Clark

It was my first time visiting and it will definitely be my last. They undercook my wings 2 times and had the nerve to be made that they had to remake them both times. I then went to the bar and the bartender had an attitude as well, even heard her make a antisemitic joke with a co worker. And to top it all off, I witnessed a cook come straight from the bathroom right into the kitchen and start tossing salads….

  • Eboni Wallace

Definitely the worst place to order a pizza. It never takes 30 min for a carry out pizza it only takes 10-15 min in the oven I only ordered pepperoni so does it take 15 min to put pepperonis on the pizza it just doesn’t make since this will be my first and last time getting food from them and that’s really a shame for them cause my business would have really been beneficial you never know who a person knows.

  • Jamie

I have been to Fatcat a handful of times and tonight was the first time I saw anyhing that could be viewed as negative. I appreciated the bouncer for being aware that I was a single lady and making sure I had a friend to help me if I need it. The bartenders are super friendly. You can tell everyone is close to each other so it might take a while for those around you to warm up to you.

  • Wonder Twin

Service is a minus -10!!! The bleached wannabe blonde with the bad attitude should not be allowed contact with PAYING customers. Never know who is on the other end of the request One drink ..until the next bartender is made available

  • LowkeyLoki

Never coming back, staff did nothing when some old guy tried picking a fight with me and my friends at the pool table, no security and the bartender was 12 feet away and I know they heard him say "What you gunna do?!" Don't recommend if you just want to have fun. If you want to pick fights there's your place.

  • idigit7 Jac

Were going order food the kitchen was open Also said he was closing in 5 min. immediately left on way outLooked like mother& daughter, arguing . About to have a bar fight by the dart board.near us.dark dim looking one way out entrance.A drunk lady in lot walking as were trying to pull out. Backwood bar

  • Queen Supreme

Dirty and the floor is uneven where pool table is. The balls were sticky and filthy. Only music played is what's paid for on jukebox. Wasn't my cup of tea, went twice and both times the server seemed bothered and in a rush to close early ( it was during weekdays BUT I was apaying customer ) .

  • Sabrina A.

This bar is really nice for a bar. It's cozy and fun. They have adult size connect four, and Jenga games as well as pool and darts. We had a wonderful time playing those games. The drinks are good depending on who makes them. Lol Fun place to hang out.

  • Nycki Pernell

Visited for the 1st time yesterday. Horrible experience I left within 20 minutes. I tried to order a drink and the bartender was acting like I was getting on her nerves she walked by me several times still not asking me “how can she help me” will not return.

  • Debbie Craig

Found it to be racist against blacks. Called the police on the people outside then made the blacks leave that were inside. We didn't know what was going on outside. Bar maid said " I want all the blacks out " didn't even get to finish our drinks

  • Tray Hopson

Cought the second half of the LA game. Ten dollar Berger was not my favorite and the chips were stale. The waitress was not very kind. Three TVs and they cut the one I was watching the game on off before the game was over. Not my first choice

  • T Hill

Food is excellent, had crispy chicken sandwich, Taste like my mom made it, had to go back for dinner, got the grilled shrimp with grilled corn, great, I would eat here every day, food is very tasty, waiting to try the pizza, try and enjoy

  • Christina Barnes

If I could give a zero I would- They came to the Adidas warehouse today and I brought some rib tips I took one bite and they were not good I asked for a refund and they wouldn’t give me my money back- As a black person I like to support

  • Ry Gordon

Worst bar in Indianapolis. The drinks aren’t good at all and this lady has the worst attitude I’ve ever seen and has the nerve to be the head bartender. Her name is Kimmie Sue I think she’s almost 200 years old and mad at the world!

  • Lori Voorhis

I've never eaten here, but I've been a Fat Cat customer since the old location. I love this place. The drinks are a great price, the bartenders are great.

This place was out on 16th and Emerson serving today 12/16/22. My best friend stopped to grab us some and we both were HIGHLY DISSATISFIED!!! The rib tips were extremely chewy and barely had any bbq sauce on them.

  • Ame Lahiff

It’s not Buds at least lol but I did happen to meet the bartender I didn’t meet when I went there initially and after meeting Tiffany out somewhere else I think I’ll give the Cat another try!!

  • Patricia Voelkel
