Fatpour is a classy joint my friends. They have a great menu with a lot of varying options for lunch and dinner, plus they suggest a type of beer that would pair well with it. Let's talk about beers shall we? Fatpour has pretty much every beer under the sun: wheat beers, Belgians, IPAs, ambers, ciders and stouts. If they don't have the specific brand you're looking for, odds are they will suggest a pretty decent replacement. The setup of Fatpour is really cool with a tall glass case holding the various kegs of beer, going up to the second floor. Meals are usually under $20 and beers are anywhere from $5-$12, with the $3 PBR tallboy as well. Check out Fatpour next time you're on Division!

Any menu that begins with, “Beer makes you feel the way you ought to feel without beer” is a menu I want to try. Welcome to Fatpour. With 50 beers on tap, there’s bound to be something you’ll like. Fatpour also offers a classic American menu with tasty items. The portions are huge so I recommend finding a friend to share some items with! I have an obsession with Mac & Cheese, and Fatpour may have satisfied my addiction. I made my leftovers last for three days. Their Mac N’ Cheese is covered in smoked gouda cream and mixed with shallots, garlic, sauteed spinach and most importantly beer braised pork butt. Hello, Deliciousness! Every bite was so satisfying as cheese oozed from noodle to noodle. I love a good burger, and I had heard mixed reviews about the burgers here. I have no complaints. In fact, I thoroughly enjoyed my burger. It’s hard not to when it’s stuffed with Merkt’s cheddar and topped with fried cheese curds. See the trend? I love cheese! The Badger burger also came with bacon and I.P.A. Braised onions. The bun was branded which added a nice touch to the presentation. Not only was the burger big, but it came with a choice of two sides! Sweet potato and regular fries filled our tray as our tw sides. I left completely full and happy. With specials every day of the week, Fatpour is the perfect place to catch MNF or to kick a hangover.

From the minute you walk in, you'll notice something at Fatpour: it's both familiar and unusual. The set up is fairly common - wood floors, wide open space, a bar lining one wall. But the entire bar is cast in a subtly blue light. Kegs sit inside a glass case, lofted high into the air so its visible to second-floor revelers. It's one of those bars that will surely transition nicely from day-drinking watering hole to trendy nightlife destination. The crowd is abundant and, by all accounts, good: Well-heeled young professionals who can still party, thought maybe not a racuously as they did a few years ago. And then of course, there's the brew selection, which is sure to please simple and sophisticated beer lovers alike.

My Advice: Fatpour is a new bar, joining the ranks of fratty post-college bars on the North Side. I had a ton of fun when I went, largely in part to the lively crowd, great beer selection, and surprisingly tasty bar food. The service is what you would expect from a bar at full capacity, not great but not really their fault. Need to know info: It’s a Wisconsin bar so plan accordingly when looking for a place to watch your college sports team. However, in general Fatpour is a sweet place to watch a game given their large, flat screen TV collection. Also, there are drink specials everyday and a good back room for private parties. Who’s Hanging Out Here: In general its recent grads to people in their late 20s. Most people were either Greek in college, big-time sports fans, or a combination of the two. People at Fatpour are generally ready to party. Cocktails & Cuisine: The name is pretty clear about their specialty drinks. Fatpour is a place for beer lovers, and is a home to a few in-table taps allowing for quick and easy access to a wide selection of beer. Bloody Marys and Mimosas are also among the favorites. The food is typical bar food, however I’d say on the better tasting end. The wings are awesome. What to Wear: Whatever you’d wear to any Lakeview or Wrigleyville bar is perfect for Fatpour too. On gamedays, don’t hold back on your school pride, especially if you’re a Badger fan. What Does it Cost: Fatpour isn’t super cheap but you’re not going to have to break the bank to have a good time here. The drink specials offer a chance to get drinks for $3 or $4, however it’ll cost double that to have a glass of top-notch beer. When to go: Gamedays and weekends are the most popular times, with a good brunch and drink deals on Saturday and Sunday.
