Freddy's Bar — Restaurant in New York

Responding to the review left by Ivon Chaya that they left on Sunday, July 20th. I was there the night this incident happenedwhich was Friday, July 18th, and their review is full of lies!

When this group came in, the gentleman came with a pint glass, ( not plastic cup. Etc), full of a liquid that was not issued by any of the bartenders at Freddy's. The bartender that had just got off shift, approached the group and asked about the glass. She then informed them that they were in a place with a full bar and bringing outside drinks was frowned upon. The group then immediately became hostile towards the bartender and caused a scene. The bartender then informed them they could leave if they didn't want to be compliant. Cursing issued from the party. They never sat at the bar but at a table. When they left, because they were informed they wouldn't be served, one of the young ladies in the group decided to record the bartender in question performing her duties outside the bar (throwing out the garbage), and say some nasty things to her.

I've been coming here for a bit and never had an issue with ANY of the bartenders or the rules they set in place. True people who respect a bar know you can't bring outside drinks into any establishment.

The people here are great and I will not let anyone talk negatively about a place based on lies.

Come through...

Decide to meet up with a few friends I hadn't seen in awhile and googled bars in park slope. Freddy's bar came up and it had great reviews so I decided we should try it. Upon entering I noticed that its very dark. I know it's a bar and usually there is dim lighting but this was a little too dark for me . What I did like was that the music was not loud so i was able to talk with my friends without shouting. Anyways, they have a good happy hour on drinks. $4 beers and house liquor, no specials on foods though. Drinks were made good, you can actually taste the liquor. The Food was a big let down. We first ate chips with guacamole and salsa. Guacamole was ok, chips were delicious and had good seasoning on it, the salsa was nasty. It looked like vodka sauce and was spicy. They would just be better serving tostitos salsa. For the entree I ordered the "magic mike" which is shrimp, provolone cheese, red onions, avocado on ciabatta bread with a side salad. The bread seemed stale and the shrimp was bland. My friend had chicken tenders and fries. That wasnt bad, the fries were very good. My other friend had a shrimp quesadilla, I didnt try it but he didnt complain about. Because I was disappointed by the food I probably wouldnt go...

We came here on a Saturday around six in the evening. It was a good crowd, and the bartender gave us prompt service and attention. The happy hour was cheap. I didn't pay, but I think the the drinks were around $4 or $5 bucks for happy hour.

They have crazy movies playing in the background, and a loop of a cat drinking water. It will trip you out. The bartender told us the name of the cat. The thirst is real.

The bathroom was clean, which is a big deal in my book.

I didn't eat anything, but they have a full kitchen, if you're up for some pub fare.

In the back, they have a cute littel room where you can watch movies or listen to live music. There was a guy playing the guitar and singing the night we went.

One of the owners stopped by and was very hands on with the staff, not afraid to go behind the bar and make sure everything is up to par. He even gave them a refresher on stacking the pint classes with ice.

When he was done, my friend asked him about it, and he explained the purpose was not only science but also aesthetics. He was really nice and...
