Fat Eddie's

First time to fat Eddie's and it was a very pleasant experience, we found that the food for the price was very good with an excellent atmosphere ! The place was very well presented with amazing decor and a live singer that was a very nice experience as was unexpected, so over all I would highly recommend this fabulous restaurant in the ever expanding Christchurch

Sunday for a Commitments and Blues Brothers cover band gig who were great. Sales on the door but booked out tickets online from the fat eddies Facebook page. Great staff serving a good range of beers, wines and cocktails. Such a nice, well set our bar. Bar food going out smelt and looked delicious.

Great vibe for a bar/club, but the stuff really isn’t up to what their are charging for.

I would give you a 5..... but i went to karoke and they called out my name and gave me approximetally a minute to get to the stage... by the time i was at the stage they had moved on to the next human i suggest you work on this! I never really sing and i was ready were you??? Ovesly not

Would give a lesser review if possible queued 45+ mins and was rejected because my partner did not have a COLLARED SHIRT yet girls can get in with sneakers instead of heels???? Thought we were in 2022 - it goes both ways. Ridiculous!!! Fair?!!?! I think not How are we going to enforce a dress code on men but excuse women? From a woman, ridiculous!

Very on the fence for this place. I’ve been a couple times, but on this specific day I came in on Friday the 17th of Feb for food and drinks. The first interaction I had with a staff member was a young girl behind the bar with two braids and ribbons in her hair. She was fantastic, she greeted me with a smile, walked me through the menu when I asked, and asked me about my day. She was fast and efficient, but very nice too and she was able to give recommendations, and made me a cocktail that was amazing delicious and beautifully presented. Because of this interaction, I thought that all of the staff would have this level of professionalism and good customer service. Unfortunately, my next interaction with a staff member was with another young girl with very light blonde hair and fake eyelashes who was much worse in comparison. She didn’t serve me, instead stood there talking to the other bartender and when she finally looked at me, I assumed to take my order, she walked away from the bar and came back a minute or two later. When she finally served me, her attitude was negative and she didn’t smile or anything, she was actually quite rude. Seemed like she really didn’t want to be there. I ordered the same cocktail again, but the drink itself was not good, and I couldn’t drink it, but her customer service had put me off and we ended up just leaving. The food itself was pretty good. The service makes all the difference thought and there was a 5-star bartender and a 1-star bartender, so I guess it’s really just chance with who you order from. I would recommend maybe a performance review for some staff.

Weird dress code randomly enforced. In summer you can enter with shorts at 5:50pm but after six it’s no shorts for men, but half the people inside have shorts on. No restrictions on women though. Bathroom covered in urine & limited drink selection with some cocktails “unavailable”. Seemed run down, and a weird vibe trying to be classier than it is to justify high prices maybe?

As a part of my Sperm Donation World tour of New Zealand I visited Christchurch and walked into a vibrant bar playing great tunes.

I was very excited to head to Fat Eddie’s this afternoon. I have heard excellent things about the venue and staff, so I was very hopeful of having a great evening. My friend group and I arrived at 4pm- first destination of the evening. I went to order a cocktail and the young woman at the bar said, very patronising “darling, you’re not having anything with alcohol”. First of all, if you’d like to refuse serving a customer- be nice about it and we might stay. It was pretty funny as we had arrived there as our first destination- sober. If you’d like to lose business, refuse service at 4pm on NYE. Wouldn’t have written this if I didn’t feel strongly about this or the fact that this women should lose her job because she’s a buzz killer. Anyway. 0/10.

Came on Friday 28th October, and truly enjoyed the bartender serving me, so much so I only ordered from her! No costume on Halloween weekend, she served me some delicious trick or treat shots throughout the night, was accommodating and amazing, I feel she deserves some recognition!
