Fatboi Tavern at Solaris

It was 3 hours after we stepped foot into Fatboi Tavern and the attendance of our group of friends was still full. Nobody left even after the soiled plates were collected. Our drinks remained though. How could we leave when the atmosphere is so comfortable with affordable food and drinks?

Fatboi Tavern isn't the kind of bar where you have to be prepared to empty your wallet after being there. Fatboi's intention to give guests a good time is sincere. With a wide selection of drinks and a menu of palatable dishes, this bar easily turns into one's favourite even at the first visit. It is no surprise that guests become friends at Fatboi's.
