Freddie's Beach Bar & Restaurant — Restaurant in Virginia

We Love this place from the amazing Champagne Sunday Brunch that offers a pleasant variety of food from salads, soups, breads, waffles, vegetables, entrees, as well a a spread of delicious desserts oh and did I mention you get complementary mimosa's with your brunch. We have been going here since the opening. We have been going to Freddies for years and we have enjoyed wonderful brunches, fun Karaoke, and even some drag bingo. The owner has keep the character of the restaurant and bar with a consistent and enduring corner stone of the community when so many restaurants and bars have come and gone it is rewarding to know that the staff and ownership continues to succeed at every level. I wish we had time to visit more but we make it in 3-4 times a year and each time is better than the last. The staff and patrons make it rewarding every minute. I remember one of the most vivid days was on 9-11-2001 when some friends and I were interview by a Washington Post reporter on that day. Living so close to the pentagon and seeing the horrific attack on our nation first hand was as a shock to us all. As any American the stress knowing friends connected in DC and NYC added more stress thinking about how lives and freinds would be after this disaster. I just wanted to feel a bit calming relief from all the ciaos that day and where else to find this time out than a fun place like Freddies Beach Bar. On that evening wondering where would we all be and how would this change our nation left feelings that it would never be the same. We owe a big thank you to Freddies(for not just surviving but living the success they deserve in the Washington Gay/LGBA Community) to know that the freedom we take for granite can free us from the past.

Freddies has influenced our community, our lives and yes even the Military/Government in the most positive way. I know the challenges of having a business. I have had both food Franchises/Restaurants and other small business and I can tell you its easy to get in business but its hard to stay in business for years. Freddie's has been successful by offer great ownership, staff, atmosphere, comfort, trust, value taste, and true love for the community.

Thank you! Freddie's Beach Bar Team! for being a leader in the area and the Nation. You are a true guiding light.

You are the Best of The Best

Thank...

Freddies is the BEST place for LGBT community in the DC area. As a crossdresser, there aren't very many places I feel comfortable going to, but Freddie's becomes a home away from home. I'm always like, "thank God, there's the rainbow flag, I'm safe, (Why I'm I dressed like a woman again, but it's cool here, lol)", and then walk on in. There are always people of several gender identities and orientations, so it's a safe place for closeted people to talk or meet transgendered women and all, but anyone/everyone will have a great time in there! I often go there in boy mode just to do kareoke :)

In addition, it's hands down the best kareoke place I've ever been to! Basically, you get on stage or share the stage with people drinking all night. It's like a constant party! There are several screens to read from and the interior design of the place is great to observe while you're waiting to sing.

The food is great too! I love their pasta and it's reasonably priced. They have a lot of different foods on their menu and great drinks. Their staff really knows how to hustle. It gets so busy in there, but they maintain it. The seating is diverse and they have a screened in dinning area where smokers can eat away from the party inside.

Seriously, if you haven't been there, go give it a...

Will probably don't go back here anymore after tonight, Feb 6th. The staff was very rude. I don't know his name because he did not introduce himself. He's about 5 feet to 5ft 5 inches tall, Caucasian with wavy, dirty, brown hair. My friend and I went in about 6:20 pm and sat ourselves to the small table near the bar where we usually sit every time we go there. Moments later this rude server/host came over to our table and instead of greeting their customer told us "You guys next time wait at the front to be seated" and walked away and grabbed 2 menus from the host stand. He came back and dropped the menus on our table and walked away again. Granted we should have waited for the staff to come and help us, he does not have to be rude to us. If he's the host, he needs to be standing there at the front to help the customers as they come in and not socializing at the back. Very disappointing experience. And to you Missy, don't worry about NEXT TIME because there will be NO MORE NEXT TIME. I suggest you leave your attitude at home, don't bring it to work because you will just drive the customers away. Or maybe he just simply don't like us because we're not...
