Fat Sam's Again

I haven't been here in a few years.  I used to actually kinda hate this place.  But i happened here on a gorgeous spring day and played some bags and fell in love.  With a bar...then after a few drinks a waitress....and after a few more drinks a chair...and then tacos I really love tacos.  I digress.  Fat Sam's has redeemed itself in my eyes as a viable watering hole.  There is enough room for three sets of bags and the people to play them.  You aren't ridiculously on top of each other, but your still making friends whether you want to or not.  But its a bar and the buckets of beer are average price and there are girls here.  They even have some craft/local breweries on tap.  I was happy that I came back here and will definitely be back again.

Great Blackhawks bar!! This place is awesome in the summer time when the weather warms up and they open up the back patio for live bands.

I met up at Fat Sams with a group of people on a Saturday night to see a friend's band. We've been to this place for this reason multiple times. There is a $5 cover whenever there is a band, which I don't mind paying. If I was just there for a few drinks, then I would mind.

Fat Sams is great for groups of people. There are plenty of tables, and lots of room. I've never actually had any food from here, but I have seen the typical fried appetizer plate a few times. We just come here for the booze and band.

The service was surprisingly good at our table. The waitress was really on top of the beers, and that turned out to not be so good for me! They have tall drafts with a pretty good selection including Shock Top and 312.

The one thing that never changes about this place is that the music is too loud for being indoors. I generally listen to music/movies pretty loud, but my ears were ringing the next morning.  But I'll be back for the beer and music, maybe with some earplugs next time.
