By Patricia Harkins-Pierre
Cool off with frozen PainKillas and Mango Margaritas at one of St. Thomas' favorite new party spots, FatBoys Bar, Grill & Games located on the East End in Red Hook. The scene is casual fun with great food, drinks, games.
The frozen drink list includes "CAUTION," a refreshing RipTide made with Guava Lemonade and 151 Rum. The menu is casual dining, with items such as FatBoys' Famous Fish Tacos, Cheek'n Sandwiches, Fresh Ground Burgers, Thai Cheek'n Tacos, Wings, and much more. There's even a Palm Tree Hugger burger for vegetarians. Browse through their actual menu in the new restaurant menu section of our site.
FatBoys is the only place that serves real Mako Shark bites and a blackened Mako Shark Burger called "The Big Bruce." Check out the "Chum Station" and dress your sandwich the way you want with house-made sauces such as Thai-ginger, chile-lime, and Black Strap Rum-BBQ. The cuisine is best described as "bar food done right." "We buy fresh ingredients such as premium ground beef for our hamburgers every morning - no frozen hockey pucks here. You can taste the difference," says co-owner Eric Horstmeyer.
FatBoys has a laid back limin' atmosphere. Enjoy lunch outside on the "SharkDeck" overlooking Red Hook and people watch while you dine. Watch sports on the 50" plasmas or shoot a game of pool with friends.
Maybe you'll get lucky on the slot machines.
Daily Happy Hour Specials from 4-6pm include buckets o' beer, half priced appetizers, $1 off frozen drinks, and half priced well discounts. FatBoys even has an extended happy hour on Sundays for the sports crowd from 11am-6pm. The music kicks up a notch at night and the scene is tailored to the party crowd.
