Went with friends to celebrate one of their birthdays had a very nice time in this local bar in our community. We saw a comedy show, which was cool a little Campy. Then we went to have a few appetizers which everyone said were tasty. I myself had a house salad with a basic vinaigrette dressing, which was fine and hit the spot. My friends had hummus, friend shrimps, fries etc everyone said the food was tasty. Of course everyone had their desire alcohol Not photos sorry guys

Freddy's remains one of the best goddamned bars in the five boroughs, in large part because they seem to have considered everything. - A room for live bands on Fridays and Saturdays thar is carefully insulated from the rest of the bar (in other words, you would never know there was a live band playing unless you were just outside the door( - Remarkably efficient take no shit bartenders who never feel any need to ingratiate you - A hilarious kitchen that seems to exist as its own kingdom with its own set of rules (complete with those Southern California flashing light indicators when your food is ready), with a surprising variety of food at weirdass hours - One of the most impressive rosters of regulars and weirdos on ANY given time you enter (seriously) - A Floorplan with commodious rooms that seems prepared for any cultural or sociological developments in the next ten years Seriously, if you have a problem with this place, you simply don't possess a soul or you truly don't comprehend what NYC is all about. Five stars. Particularly since yours truly once came in and was invited to go into one of the adjacent rooms for a hand job with the woman in question pledging to recite all of Ezra Pound's poems while, uh, "pounding" me -- a proposition that your pal Johnny politely declined.

They have happy hour and a good selection of beers on tap with some small batch locals too always rotating. They play solid music, funky lowbrow interior, good food selection, outdoor seats in front and back "garden", and a Charles Bukowski shrine (that's where I always sit!). Pretty local crowd where you'll find no hassle or problems. Live music and comedy on certain nights. You should sign the guestbook when you come in, or at least look through it.

The bartender is super friendly and this place definitely has a "Cheers" bar feeling with its regular and a few misfits! I really like a bar and was able to do a bit of work while eating fries. You order in the back and there is a man that cooks your food. It isn't a trendy spot but it is a neighborhood joint

We love this bar. Every time we're in town, we spend nights here just hanging out. All of the patrons and bar tenders are great. Friendly and fun. The atmosphere is kitschy and random, but gives a great mood. Food is typical bar food. The fries are amazing. Drinks are strong and cheap! Perfect All these people giving 1 or 2 stars are probably just snobs. Reading their reviews makes me laugh! Imagine being upset at the doors on an establishment? Hahaa or upset that a bar has people in it hahaha Wild! Freddy's is great. Can't wait to go back!

Ooh la la did j get transported to moulin rouge? I found out what they do in the Backroom! Thursdays apparently they have shows. It was burlesque! Wow it's free to check it out. Bring your singles to tip! Beer is cheap, wine is crisp, fries are yummy.shows are entertaining. Back story is great. Zane the bartender is friendly n courteous. You can feel the history in this place. Very interesting place. I hope the burlesque women have day jobs bc there were in 4 people in the audience...that's not much tip...

I don't know all the back story behind this place but when you sit in here you can definitely tell that there is one. Drinks are good and reasonably priced (ish. for the area), and the food is both unreasonably priced and unremarkable though competently made AND the ordering system is convoluted AND apparently has changed a bunch of times AND the person who takes orders/makes the food is impatient and grumpy to the point of being charming, but hey you can get a big basket of tater tots which are all uniformly crunchy and also hot enough to burn your mouth so that's really all you need. Neither too loud nor too quite, not too dark or too bright, not too cluttered or too sterile; the ambient crowd is interesting but not to the point of being distracting; and it's all around a good spot to sit and chat with your friends for a while. Just right

The frogs are dead!!!!!! This type of frog allegedly can live in captivity for like 20 years, so I have to assume the conditions of a dark loud bar are not ideal for them. Apparently one died and the other died soon after, of grief I assume. They may get replaced. But we must acknowledge their passing.
