Since word broke that the management of Uptown’s Fat Cat bar are undertaking a new venture where the old Pork Shoppe used to be at 5721 N. Clark in Andersonville, they have been hit with a flurry of excitement on what the new restaurant will be.

The truth is that they are still perfecting what they are calling a ‘new restaurant and bar concept’ that will feature a globally-inspired menu and a friendly neighborhood atmosphere. Currently, that concept will feature a wood oven/grill, large outdoor space and will be open 7 days a week with a weekend brunch.

Fat Cat, which is located at 4840 N. Broadway, will be celebrating 11 years this weekend. With a successful decade under their belt in Uptown, they are hoping to recreate that same magic in Andersonville. They are working out final details on the new restaurant and hoping to release more information within the next month.
