    Fanfrickingtastic. Freddy’s is a nice neighborhood bar. Perfect for an after work beer or a place to meet a friend for a drink. Although I didn’t see the entertainment they also have a back room for shows. The bartenders were chatty but professional and sitting at the bar is the place to be. I think my favorite thing was the history and age of the surroundings.

    Alright so here’s the thing…. I watched this guy named Joseph play and yea I felt rebirthed so what!? He made me feel whole, he made me feel weak, he made me feel…. Alive… in more ways then one. I loved this place, thanks to Joseph. I felt pretty damn lucky to hear him play I’ll tell you that much! Review kings official score: DAMN HE HOT ON THAY GUITAR!

    What a cool spot. I’m glad we wondered in. Perfect music and volume. The bartender was great and so was the food.

    I like to bring the hicks and bumpkins from out of town to Freddy's. " Never seen anything like it!" " Are we really going to eat here?!" " What's playing on that TV over there?" But then the friendly bartender asks what'll you have? Gets you a seat or booth. Put your order in for food. Regular bar menu with good choices, even salads! But what's that chain running completely around the bar? See if an old timer will tell you the story of the chain. Nightly entertainment. Good food, friendly service and a whole lot of atmosphere!

    Freddy's is a fun local watering hole in South Slope, Brooklyn. Nice selection of reasonably priced beers. Bar food is good. The backroom is used for music, comedy, and other shows.

    This is a really fun bar. The decor is unique and cool. They have an aquarium with an albino frog which was unexpected! The drinks are reasonably priced as well as the food. They also may have the best tater tots I’ve ever had. Stag is so friendly and back room that hosts events is nice. Favorite spot in south slope!

    Great dive bar with funky decor and spectacular staff. Highly recommend checking out their events. Mondays and Wednesdays are comedy nights so if you're in the mood for some free live entertainment, come by and watch some raw stand-up that you can't get anywhere else. Be sure to check their site because the schedule changes occasionally.

    Fact: if you don't like Freddy's you have bad taste. Fact: Bob Dylan once didn't play there. Good bar just to hangout and socialize. Amazing intimate performance space - not pretentious, no hipster avant vibes, just regular place for a variety of styles of music where you can really feel the music and the performers energy. Usually a diverse range of performances throughout the week. Probably my favorite venue space in Brooklyn.

    Been going to this place for 12 years and really enjoyed it for over a decade. The new person that takes your food order is unbelievably rude. If you hate speaking to people and taking orders, consider a different career.

    They have a lot of great comedy and music shows in the backroom! The first Tuesday of each month is an experimental night of comedy and music- open mic 5:45pm, comedy 7:45pm, music 9-10pm. Only $5!

    Bathroom had its own atmosphere 👌🏻

  • 5/5 Robot A. 3 months ago on Google • 14 reviews New
    Freddy's is fun and laid back place to meet friends for entertainment, food and conversation. Endearingly weird kitschy vibe with a sweet staff and excellent parking.

  • 1/5 ELM 7 months ago on Google
    Never felt more unwelcomed in a bar in my life , bartender seemed over it and everyone started at us until we left . Highly recommend NOT going .

  • 5/5 A. F. 7 months ago on Google • 9 reviews
    Always a good time. Day or night. Comfortable little nooks to talk with friends plus open friendly crowds. I've never had a bad meal there. Always fresh and clean not greasy fries and tots. As well as the back room always having so kind of free fun entertainment.

  • 5/5 James L. 6 months ago on Google
    Bartender was super nice (even when dealing with tipsy out-of-towners) and I enjoyed the neighborhood feel and food.

  • 5/5 Andrew M. 1 year ago on Google
    Freddy's is a cool little bar in Park Slope that has a bar and dining area, with a separate room for all kinds of free performances. The food is pretty good bar food, and they have a good little selection of beer and drinks. The decor here is interesting and eclectic, and only becomes more fun the more you drink. Definitely worth a visit if you're near the Prospect Ave. stop in Brooklyn.

    This place is a classic wood grain bar. Old school. Has alot of character. Live shows burlesque comedy and live music. If your looking for the same old boring bar where everyone is a stranger this is not the place for you. Amazing bartenders and patrons. They got food to satisfy those late night munchies kitchen closes @2am. Check it out when your in the neighborhood.

    10/07/2023 my first time stopping in and first Rock Band 🎸 I’ve ever seen. MeetUp , was why I was there. Definitely social and welcoming from the entrance. Entertainment is greater when you show up with company than by yourself. All and all, I had a good time

  • 3/5 David S. 3 months ago on Google New
    Typical local bar experience. They do have some interesting theme nights.

  • 5/5 Daniel S. 1 year ago on Google
    They have the best sound engineer. If you request your vocals to be mixed how you like it, that's no problem. They have an amazing house drum set. The bass drum sounds awesome with a microphone in front. The sound person loved that idea.

  • 5/5 Steph M. 1 year ago on Google
    Kind of obsessed w this place. It’s dark. It’s a little dirty. The bar patrons seem to all know the bartender and have been around forever. Free self serve water out of a jug in the back. But they serve food, there are a ton of drink options, and they take Apple Pay! What else can you ask for

  • 5/5 Republican N. 1 year ago on Google
    I love this bar. Nice bites, great service, super friendly atmosphere. Check for shows. Great neighborhood hang out!!!! ❤️

  • 5/5 Fritz B. 1 year ago on Google
    I watched Joseph Christensen play at this bar one cloudy Friday night and boy did he rock my world. His music really changed my life and the atmosphere of Freddy’s was the perfect medium for life changing events. Thank you joeseph.

  • 3/5 Brenda P. 2 years ago on Google
    Not trying to be the best local dive anymore. Just want to get you in and out. Not even a car bomb. Smh.

  • 5/5 Matthew W. 2 years ago on Google
    The burlesque on Thursdays is a must see and Sundays with the wonderful Tracey behind the bar is worthy of a pilgrimage to Brooklyn from near or far.

  • 4/5 J. B. 2 years ago on Google
    Good neighborhood bar. We went on a Friday night was served quickly. They also had a full kitchen past 11pm.

  • 5/5 Lori E. 2 years ago on Google
    Wonderful people! good food! this place has so much to offer. I love the decor.

  • 5/5 Danny D M. 2 years ago on Google
    Had an great experience on Saturday watching the subway series at Freddy's. The bar keeper Angela was awesome. The food was good and the drinks were on point. Will definitely be going back there in the future

  • 5/5 Lauren D. 2 years ago on Google
    Freddy's bar is incredible! Great beer selection and cool shows in the back

  • 5/5 Jared Rolland W. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place in the neighborhood gotta come back and check out the events. Other than that, great comfy divey spot with friendly bartenders.

  • 5/5 Sara S. 2 years ago on Google
    Great neighborhood with some intriguing history. Outdoor space in the back. Reasonable prices and excellent atmosphere.

  • 5/5 John N. 1 year ago on Google
    After a long day in the saddle out on the dusty trail, I like to shuffle on into Freddy's for a sasparilly and a yarn or two from the wise cattlemen lining the bar. Hear you can shake your spurs to a tune on the old gramophone, or sit in reflective silence like a cowboy does after a few too many lonesome nights out yonder and listen to some Jesus music on the piano. There's a place for every cowboy at Freddy's, tie your horse up and come inside!

  • 5/5 Rob B. 2 years ago on Google
    So I had a gig here for a birthday party in the back room it was awesome Freddy's bar is the best Dive Bar in Brooklyn

  • 5/5 Barrett B. 1 year ago on Google
    Even after a forced relocation years ago (thanks a bunch, Bruce Ratner), this wonderful and quirky establishment landed on its feet in the South Slope, to the betterment of its surroundings and longtime fans.

  • 5/5 Peter F. 1 year ago on Google
    Classic spot! They did an amazing job relocating it and it still has a great mix of local neighborhood types with an artsy crowd as well. Some very friendly bartenders as well. Definitely worth a visit.

  • 5/5 Grald S. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic Brooklyn bar. It has a great atmosphere and is reasonably priced. The bartenders are also extremely chill,friendly, and let u take ur time unlike a lot of NYC bars these days. I would definitely recommend Freddy's.

  • 4/5 Brian T. 1 year ago on Google
    A bit dark bit the bartender is really nice. Knows his drinks. Happy hours weekdays for $5 for draft and wells drinks until 7pm. Good atmosphere after 7pm in Fridays.

  • 5/5 Kevin F. 1 year ago on Google
    Great bartenders and service. Cool atmosphere and decor. Like the vibe a lot!

  • 4/5 J R. 2 years ago on Google
    Good spot for music and lively crowd. Not too much hipster-gentrified schlock, despite the location. Just a Solid Bar

  • 5/5 Julie L. 1 year ago on Google
    This is one of the best places on 5th Avenue in the South Slope area for live music, food and drinks. Spooky hip kitsch decor. On busy nights, you might not get a seat or table though. Warm weather tables out back. I wish it had an upstairs too.
