Great place to lay back and play some pool. Let your friends go to Hazards, this is the place to have a couple drinks from a great selection of beers and have a great time!
We were so excited to come down to Fat Wally’s! The bartender, Dan told us the ATM was broke so we felt so bad we couldn’t buy many drinks..after awhile Dan offered us our favorite drinks out of kindness. Stop by for awesome service!!!
Great for the st Patrick day pub crawl. Also a great place for foosball and pool.
The pool tables are all in good shape, the cues are only decent, as you'd expect. They have lots of varied bottled beers from around the world. The liquor selection is well pours to slightly higher. The only downside is cash only, but they do have an on-site ATM now.
Nice place just not into pool
I was here on Saturday, First off this place is cash only. There are no clearly visible signs or posting of this info. Like just a sign on the door would be perfect. The first I heard about this was after placing an order for a group of after he handed me my drinks and I tried to hand him my card. This was after standing waiting at the bar for almost 30 minutes as dude was helping patrons who were walking up after me, either way the bartender was struggling to fill a very small amount of orders. As someone who has bartended and will occasionally guest bartend still I was amazed that this was who is working a Saturday evening. After informing me of the cash only he pointed out the ATM as I’m putting my card in he shouts that I can’t use the ATM he just told me to use because it’s out of cash. Proceeds to tell me I need to walk 3 blocks to the next closest atm he knew of. On top of that the shots we ordered were made incorrectly, drinks are weak and the bottled beer is barely refrigerated because apparently “the cooler doesn’t always stay cold”. I have to re iterate again I have worked in pool halls, dive bars, bars in downtown Iowa city, bars in small towns. I understand how things work in this industry and I’m never critical of a business unless every aspect of it seems to be intentionally trying to tank the business.

Great place to play pool very nice atmosphere
Always a good time here. Laid back environment, an ok selection of drink choices, to chill out and play pool. Would just be nice if they had more electronic payments, instead of cash only.
Super easy going bartender and great with mixing drinks. It is quiet here with no fights.
