Fat Jacks Bar

Fat Jacks Bar We offer the BEST beer and cocktail selection in Bloomington, with over 30 craft beers, great house cocktails and a nightclub dance room on the weekends!

In 1997, Tyler Holloway had a vision to create the best bar in downtown Bloomington where you can get a good drink at a good price with a friendly atmosphere. And here we are 19 years later with 3 extensions from the original bar, we have added a Dance Room, the Blue Room and our Pool Room. Fat Jacks features 3 seperate full service bars, that can be rented out for private events, over 30 rotating

premium craft draughts, and a great New Orleans inspired kitchen with some amazing bar eats. We are always looking for new ways to please our guests, and our knowledgable bartenders are always here to lend an ear. With hard work and the integrity of the staff we would like to welcome you to Fat Jacks Bar.
