 Fat Tuesday's Resurrected @ Playa Linda 
Destination Expert   What's this?
for Cancun

The rumors are true, almost shocking, in Fat Tuesday's resurrection, after a lengthy legal fight and employee strike before the popular club's eventual closure at its longtime location at Playa Tortuga this past year.

We had the pleasure of visiting Fat Tuesday's in the club's new location at Playa Linda's El Embarcadero, first floor level, and outside party/seating area over the past few days and the Club is fully operational and ready to party.

The smoothie/frosty drink machines are in place and pumping out the cold ones and the music is playing, the facility was extremely clean and is also serving light food fare. According to the manager, the Club has fought back from their Mexican Government legal woes and is prepared to head into the future, in their new location, as good as if not better than their previous incarnation. Currently plans are for the Club to have access to the entire open air side seating area (left hand side) plus their first floor interior party area at El Embarcadero directly in front of the daytime docking area of the Red and Green Pirate Tour ships

The small former outdoor drink/snack area at El Embarcadero will be vacated and replaced by Fat Tuesday's in the near future as well.

Easy~ the one thing I was impressed with was that the new Fat Tuesday's was extremely clean, top to bottom, serving areas, bar, bathrooms and outside seating and party area. Some of the staff was still in the training stages but that made for some great colorful conversations in broken Spanish and English with a terrific manager (Nancy) nearby to guide the way. ;-)

I'm not familiar with the area where the new Fat Tuesday's is. Is it in Cancun? If so, is it the top of the 7? What else is it close to.

Thanks!!

Lynn~ Fat Tuesday's is located at Kilometer 4 or KM 4 of the Northern Hotel Zone at Playa Linda/El Embarcadero adjacent to the Barcelo Costa Hotel (former Gran Costa Real) and across the inlet from the Oasis Palm Beach on the ocean/bay front.

The docks at El Embarcadero are the home port to the Captain Hook Dinner Cruise and Show Ships, the Isla Mujeres Water Taxis and the tourist observation tower.

Thanks for the info! We will for sure go there next time we go to Cancun which will hopefully be really soon. When are they scheduled for full operation?

Thanks Dangers... when I heard that Fat Tuesday planned to reopen at El Embarcadero, my first thought was how nice it would be to sip an ice cold frozen drink while waiting to take the ferry over to Isla Mujeres.

BUMP,

This is great news, and I did see it last week, but did not make the stop there. The bad news part is for those who are staying at the hotel next to the Embarcadero. The will be hearing the music all night. Used to be nice and quiet after the pirate ships landed in the evening.
