FAT TUESDAY AT SHAKERS
Tuesday, February 17 | Open All Day
Fat Tuesday has always belonged at Shakers.
For decades, Shakers has drawn inspiration from the bold, sensual flavors of New Orleans — none more iconic than vanilla, a cornerstone of Creole, Caribbean, and French-influenced cuisine and spirits. That influence lives deeply in our culture, our cooking, and our bar, making Fat Tuesday not a theme night here, but a tradition.
For one night each year, our 1894 speakeasy leans fully into that legacy — indulgent, atmospheric, and unapologetically celebratory. This is not a ticketed event, but it is a curated one.
Guests can expect a special Fat Tuesday menu, created exclusively for the evening, alongside featured cocktails, classic pours, cigars, and the unmistakable energy that has defined Shakers for generations. While the full menu will be revealed closer to the date, offerings will reflect the depth, spice, and richness of the cuisines and cultures that have shaped us — rooted in tradition, not imitation.
This is the most authentic Fat Tuesday experience you’ll find in the city — not recreated, not commercialized, but lived, inside a space that has been honoring this spirit long before it became fashionable.
Reservations are strongly recommended.
Fat Tuesday at Shakers books weeks in advance and reaches capacity every year.
Join us for an evening of flavor, history, and indulgence — where the lights are low, the spirits are generous, and the night unfolds exactly as it should.
