Freddy's Bar & Back Room
(12.23.2009)
Freddy's bar and backroom / edited reviews
I'll let 10 years of reviews from the Press say it!
_______________________________________________ ___
FREDDYS
Esquire Mag: Freddy's voted ESQUIRE'S BEST BAR'S IN AMERICA.
Time Out NY: "It's possible that Freddy's is as near a perfect saloon
experience as you'll ever encounter."
Village Voice "One of the 10 Best BArs in Brooklyn."
Village Voice BEST OF - BEST VIDEO ART IN A BAR: 2001-2008: "Donald O'Finn's
feverishly edited encyclopedically strange video collages are lively rivers.
...his editing is so hyper-intuitive that the culture shocks and time warps
gel into a state of half vertigo and half trance.”
New York Mag: "Greatness lies behind these doors."
N.Y. Gamble Guide: Voted ONE OF N.Y.'s 10 BEST DIVE BARS: "A Brooklyn
classic... Also one of the best bars in N.Y. City for Sunday afternoon drinking."
The Brooklynite: "Freddy's is one of the borough's most vital cultural hubs."
Village Voice NYC Guide: "Freddy's hosts some of the city's most original
readings and performances."
New York Mag: (Best Of) "The great Freddy's...seems to sizzle with life."
NY Post: "While Crane-Swizzle, wasn't the first to turn his local watering
hole into something trendworthy - that honor could go to Donald O'Finn,
manager of Freddy's who began creating "an adult playground"...
at his bar over 10 years ago”
National Public Radio: on Opera night, “the local watering hole for murderers and tyrants, adulters and virgins, Don Juans and divas.”
Shecky's Bar Guide: "This worn-in classic..a delectable dive..best
known as a fringe art space."
NY Times: "Freddy's..a friendly barkeep, good beer on tap and a generous
backroom..it's an exceedingly comfortable joint...The staff likes to keep things
low-key...Freddy's is a little bit blessed."
Zagat: "loads of atmosphere".... "this place oozes Brooklyn pride."
N.Y. Sun: (on Diva Night) "...raucous and sublime... un-elitist, imperfect,
and fun..."
Time Out NY: "This is the perfect neighborhood bar."
Black Book Mag. Night life guide. "When God created the bar, he named it Freddy's."
SOMA: (South of Market Arts-San Francisco) "Freddy's Bar waits patiently
with a warm Brooklyn vibe ... Freddy's is mellow while still being
interesting.... but most of all the place is comfortable."
Village Voice: BEST BROOKLYN BAR WITH A SMALL TOWN VIBE: also "Most
comfortable hang."
CitySearch: Freddy's is a great bar, all the beer you'd expect on tap,
weird stuff on the walls, TVs showing bizarre sleazy movies, it's got it all.
CARA, Aerlingus Travel Mag: "undiscovered treasure...classic dive"
Spin Mag: (on Cringe night) "The funniest night out in N.Y. City."
ESPN: "Freddy's is one of the great dive bars in New York City....a far
nobler institution than you are likely to find in proffesional sports"
GetUnderground.com: "Hip...yet unyuppified"
Knotmag.com: "a Mecca for artists and writers with no stomach for hipster
poseurs or overpriced drinks.
Bavatuesdays.com: "This storied speak easy represents the best combination
of dive bar and underground cultural Mecca."
NY Magazine's New York's best of nightlife: "The best spelling bee for
Adults"
No Tourists Guide Book: (Best OF) voted Best Backroom.
NOB (Not Only Brooklyn) Arts: Freddys...is both wondrous and free,
presenting a diverse selection of artists simultaneously down home and
excellent.
Continental Air Lines Travel Mag: "Freddy's...casual, free swinging
atmosphere."
AM NY: "One of the Cities most popular Dive Bars"
Metro (Mix): Freddy's is all you would want (and more!) in a dive bar. The
beer is cold. Their calendar is chock-full of interesting and offbeat
events, including tons of live music, a diorama/craft night and something
called "strip club." There is always something interesting on the TV sets,
including amusing B-movie footage that you'll have to see to believe.
