Yami AlonsoApril 18, 2016Fat Baby is my second home, I should invest in the place at this point. Staple spot in LES, always great music. They have decent pricing and open until 3-4AM. Don't go there on Sunday
Nicole ReganApril 27, 2016Fun for going out dancing with a group. We stayed downstairs most of the time. Can get hot but they have giant fan they turn on when it starts to get toasty.
Karl With A "K"October 22, 2015Great comedy club that gets lots of major acts, many on an impromptu basis. Always fun times and also has great bartenders!
Party EarthApril 4, 2012“The 2 areas have totally different schedules – as the live music ends downstairs, upstairs really gets going. Plan to stay late to check out both.” More at
No frills night club. Can get really crowded. If you're with a bunch of guys, this place is easy to get into. Cheap drinks.
Sabrina P.A.December 1, 2013The drinks are pretty up there as far as bar prices though. They have a 3 drink minimum on cards after 10p. After 10/11p, it gets packed fast. Lower level opens after midnight.
KevinOctober 26, 2011No cover. Great dancefloor spot. Lost of dancing, girls and drinking. The music can get heavy with hip hop, dance and top 20.
This bar gets really crowded around 12:30 but empties real fast. Drinks are decent/cheap/appropriate for LES. Crowd is mixed of frat boys, nerdy guys and NJ
Alyssa RassoMarch 6, 2017Go here if you'd like someone to punch you in the face for no reason that you've never met before and a bar staff that won't help you seek medical attention when you clearly need stitches.

Amanda RNovember 15, 2010LOVE Fat Baby! Drinks are a little pricey but they make them strong! Love the atmosphere & music, deff going back.
Rowley SissonAugust 11, 2011Wednesday night is apparently the night they play old ministry. I recommended having at least three drinks here. 5/7.
BrandieDecember 13, 2010Try and decode the sharpie markings the bouncer draws on your hands. If you get some hearts then he has a crush on you...eww
Jessica ChanAugust 20, 2010they have fruli strawberry beer here, which tastes like sweet, sweet strawberry nectar (ie. best beer ever)
I live for FAT BABY!!!! Greatest place on earth!! Always a good time and the best place in Manhattan for a dance party!!!
V̰̝͔̪̭į̠͎c̻̜ ̡̖̙̭̙̠ZJune 2, 2012You'll get thrown out for doing pull-ups on the girders at the back.
Reservation RoDecember 20, 2011The Bouncers here are on a power trip. One day they are going to get what's coming to them...
Ben GaspariniNovember 12, 2016Grungy dive bar that can be fun for live music but otherwise nothing special.
Tina HenrySeptember 7, 2013Screw this place. 3 drink minimum on a card. Bartender accused us of not tipping (which we did) and said she wasn't going to serve us if we didn't tip. I went here solely for a friend- never again!
Saturdays, no. Wednesdays, yes. Hilarious stand-up, good times.
Tom MurrayApril 18, 2010If you never want to college, check it out to find out what a bad frat party is. Also-minimum on cards is $40, which is illegal. Downstairs is passable, upstairs blows eight dicks.
nick pancorvoApril 28, 2012Playing at Fat Baby tonight with Hack! This place will never be the same.
Natali JonesJanuary 8, 2012Music downstairs is awesome, but the rudest bartenders with the worst service!
