Uncle Fatty's Rum Resort Live Music Venue / Tiki Bar

Lincoln Park, Chicago –

It’s spring break all year at Uncle Fatty’s Rum Resort, where partiers ready to rumble descend into a tiki-filled melee of rum-fueled madness.

Columns with painted masks, seafaring paraphernalia, and murals of beach scenes decorate the always-boisterous venue, where the specialties are sugary sweet cocktails fit for a Caribbean vacation.

Despite a profound lack of pretention, toward week’s end Fatty’s attracts its fair share of dolled-up club girls who teeter on down in their stilettos to pregame with fishbowls that begin at a paltry 32 ounces and go all the way up to four gallons of gluttony.

Not surprisingly, many don’t ever make it to the clubs afterwards.

The center of the cavernous space features a stage where bands pump out reggae riffs and mainstream covers Thursdays through Saturdays, while dotting the venue are mini games like basketball and bowling, and even a saddle ride for those who want to get their Wild West on.

Seating areas styled as front porches and ships are tucked into various corners, though drunken guests can also wander into an adjoining lodge-like area called Coach House, where several TVs are always tuned to the game and several guys are taking the weekly pong tournaments way too seriously.

Regular drink deals and bingo nights keep even the non-sports-minded folks entertained at Uncle Fatty’s Rum Resort, where the kitsch dial is turned to ten and everyone is beautiful by last call.
