Fat Tuesday's of Fairfax
Fat Tuesday is a great place to let it all hang out New Orleans style. The red beans and rice is to die for, the music is always hot and the crowd is always willing to dance. If you can ignore sticky surfaces, dust and cobwebs clinging to the memorabilia on the walls---including an alarming number of bras---you can have the time of your life. The college crowd from GMU can sometimes offer more drama than you bargained for. This is a place to party hearty, not a spot for relaxation.
PROS: Great red beans and rice and other cajun favorites
CONS: Not very clean, can get out of hand
