Fat Tuesday

Excellent place to get your booze on. Best combo is the cat 5 and 190 octane. Buyer beware, you are in for a stronggg drink and you WILL get a brain freeze if you drink too fast! So sip slowly and enjoy. One of these bad boys gets me prettyyy tipsy, so this is another reason to drink slow!
This place is perfect for an after work treat or even perhaps a midday lunch break! Service is only subpar, but let’s be honest, no one is there for the service. You go for boozey sweet smoothies that pack a punch at an affordable price and that, my friends is exactly what you get. No frills just booze. I’m more than ok with that!
Seating is outdoor, but covered. Perfect for Florida drinking when you want to be outside but also need to be shaded from the bipolar weather. Perfect combo. Enjoy!

Terrible this place is a joke ! The bouncers don’t know anything and act like thugs ! Never come to this place !

Not a fan of any of their frozen beverages. Not a lot to say about this place.

Good spot to get some drinks for a cheap price. Now don’t be fooled they might be slushy style drinks but they will creep up on you quick! The place is an ok atmosphere lots of different people to meet there. Sometimes they got some live music and the place is poppin and sometimes its what ever. Was there tonight and it was one of those what ever nights for the place. Gets pretty packed sometimes so be prepared to wait for a table like a lion stocking its prey lol.

Love this place! The music, the atmosphere, the bartenders are super cool and speedy. I like coming here, only down side is that there’s been cock roaches on the floor sometimes.

I’m updating my review after nearly 6 years, though the comments in my initial review are still mostly accurate. Fat Tuesday is one of those mostly touristy places I haven’t visited in years, then happened to come here twice in 3 weeks with different groups. This bar is best known for their frozen «slushy» alcoholic drinks that are dispensed from the same machines they’re mixed and frozen in. They all contain alcohol, though you can order an extra shot or two if you want a more powerful punch. They also have specials where you can buy a souvenir mug or water bottle with your first drink, then refills are a bit cheaper. The last time I was here, I had their regular sized «Eye Candy» frozen drink which was blue raspberry with rum, and I also got an extra shot. The drink itself was about $ 7.50, the extra shot of rum was $ 1.

Amazing atmosphere, cool place. Awesome frozen drinks! I love the 1 $ shots always come back to this place. The best drink is the strawberry daiquiri with piña colada super yum

I came to this location to meet some friends. I stood at the bar, directly behind the guy that was being served, and was completely ignored. They served people to just walked up to the bar and grabbed their attention. When I mentioned it to the bar tender he said he saw me but I wasn’t at the bar. Please tell me what I was doing then smh. I ordered the cat 5, and to make it up to me he gave me a free cotton candy shot. I wanted to keep my tab open, abs when he brought me the receipt I told him that. He said I sound have told him when I ordered. Most places ask that question when they see you paying with a credit card. My drink was weak and didn’t taste in comparison to «the New Orleans hurricane» they said it was just like. I was disappointed. And it cost $ 8 which is a lot consisting is an iced down drink that melted within 30 mins. I may be back, but mostly because my friends from back home love this place so much. They do have music but you can’t really enjoy it. There is not a lot of seating, so grab a chair and table when you can.

I only give this place one star because the overall rating is too high. It deserves a 2 star, maybe, only for the frozen drinks. It’s definitely a nice place to chill unless its muggy or super hot outside. Good thing Miami barely ever gets that kind of weather (sarcasm). I guess the service depends on what time you go and who you get but the guy that helped us on a Wednesday night was a d**k. Very rude and spoke to us impatiently.
I don’t return to places where I don’t get good customer service. No matter how good the products.

To me, Fat Tuesday’s means just one thing… frozen drinks. It’s pretty simple! This Coconut Grove location is a staple, and usually on a Friday or Saturday, there’s a DJ that plays pretty good music (though it can be a bit too much Top 40 for my taste.) Another good part about this location is that they are strict with ID’s, so there aren’t a whole bunch of kids in your way to the frozen concoctions you so deserve and desire. I suggest the 190 Octane, and always say yes to the extra floater.

I’ve been patronizing this specific locale for many, many moons.
It holds a prominent chunk of the Grove landscape, commanding the second floor and affording a great overlook observatory of 5 points.
I can offer from many firsthand experiences that their frozen drink offering is both refreshing and potent. 190 Octane is an orange, tasty, frozen and dangerous concoction that will sneak up on you if you don’t pay attention.
The only downside about the joint is that it is all open-​air and thus no A/​C. Plan accordingly.

I love this place. It’s so happening and at the same time very down to earth. Have been enjoying it 15 yrs…

The genius behind the mist coming out of those fans needs to be executed. When the outside temperature is roughly that of a turkey baster and the humidity is set at 115%, adding more water into the atmosphere IS. NOT. going. to. help.
Some out of town acquaintances demanded we meet them here, so we trekked over from Green Street, got our hands unceremoniously stamped and stood outside for no more than 15 minutes before our makeup, epidermis and subdermis all melted straight off of our bodies.
It’s worth mentioning that the music is far to loud to do any significant meeting-​and-​greeting. So, should you not know anyone in the party you are meeting, you can not comfortably engage in conversation with them, so you just end up standing there, in a pool of your own sweat, counting the seconds until you can get back to the less-​than-​over-​saturated-​air outside.
Pro tip: Watch where you put your hands, the mixture of sweat & stamp means you’ll end up with black marks all over your forehead.

2 for 1 Mojitos… what? I have to say more?
Ok — fine, I’ll tell you more — after getting to the Grove in just enough time to be told that my free 10pm Comedy Improv tickets were just given away… I asked myself, «what do you do with friends from out of town who want to be impressed by Miami’s famous Grove-​welcoming attitude of «I don’t care?» Since it was very late in the evening and only one of us had to go to work in the morning — the clear answer is… wait for it… drink.
So we decided to stay in the Grove but find a place where it was quiet enough for us to catch up. Did I say quiet… uh…it would have been without us – yeah… three New Yorkers catching up and talking about nothing of importance but everything of hilarity… we were our own comedy show. Never once did anyone come by to tell us to settle down. Our bartender was quick to respond to us and did I mention 2 for 1 mojitos?
Our reunion fell on a Wednesday so there were plenty of parking on the street — and the meters run only to 11:59. One warning — if you are partaking of the 2 for 1 libations, make sure you give yourself enough time to sober up or have a designated driver — there are cops at every corner.

Fat Tuesdays, a coconut grove staple, has always been a fav of mine ever since I turned the magical age of 21. Back in my hey day, I used to frequent here every Thursday for college nights and down 2 to 3 of these frozen bad boys. Sometimes I’d add a floater of rum or order a jello shot for fun. Always a great start to the night.
Fast forward 10 years and I still find myself dropping in from time to time for one of their frozen fruity concoctions. My favs are a mix of rum runner and eye candy aka superman or simple category 5. I find 190 octane to be über strong but my bf loves it. Definitely a drink not for the weak. I used to love the raging bull but its been discontinued.
I usually find myself coming now on hot summer afternoons, arts festival weekends, or anytime we want to relive our good old college days. I recently had a great date night here with my bf the other day. The dj was pretty good. All in all, if youre in the grove make a pit stop. Fun fun!

Popped in here, appropriately on a Tuesday, to celebrate a friend ending and old job & starting a new one.
Glad we made this our first stop on the hit parade. It was completely dead & happy hour. Cheap adult slushies without annoying drunk people = awesome!
Our bartender lady was the best, super sweet & attentive. I would drop in here drop in here for happy hour during the week with friends anytime I’m down in the area.

It’s one of the places to go if you’re in the Grove. Especially on a hot summery day when you insist on being outside.
Careful on those frozen drinks, they’ll creep up on you. There’s always people around, if not there’s definitely some people watching to do.
