What to Expect @ Fat Louie's
By Bec Sigrist
Fat Louie's is a pool hall that boasts local grungy/heavy metal acts and private karaoke rooms. It is hidden up three flights of stairs on Albert Street in Brisbane City and is not somewhere you would stumble across upon a drunken escapade. During the week local corporate clientele wind down over a few stubbies and games of snooker and on weekends the crowd is mostly comprised of students who look like they have raided their grandparent's closets. Who said grunge was dead?
Having lived in Brisbane for over a decade I had heard of Fat Louie's but have never been for the most obvious reason that I am an absolutely hopeless snooker player. Recently I organised a group of girlfriends to go and check out one of their private karaoke rooms and I must report our experience was quite fun. The Karaoke rooms have groovy couches and disco lights to get you in the mood, the technology isn't that new but the wide track selection and cheap room hire prices are a huge draw card. We hired the room for two hours which was definitely long enough to warm up our vocal chords and time absolutely flew.
My hot tip is make sure you order a few drinks at the bar at any given time especially if there is a band on, otherwise you may spend your entire night waiting to be served.
Live local bands play both Friday and Saturday nights so it's super busy and you may experience lengthy wait times for snooker tables.
The decor and vibe of Fat Louie's is no frills so if you are looking to brush shoulders with Brisbane's cool crowd keep looking! However, if you want to sink a few eight balls and listen to some local acts or hire your very own karaoke room then look no further.
