Freda

Was looking around Queens for a music venue that featured underground local talent and was impressed with Bar Freda’s setup - a spacious street level bar with a chill vibe, ample room to spread out, and even comfortable bench seating! Head down a flight of stairs to the basement level and there’s a long space with a lot of head room and floor area to enjoy the bands. The sound was impeccable as well with a solid sound engineer managing the mixing and keeping the bands on point. All around a sick spot to catch a show, hang with friends and enjoy the Queens vibe. Can’t wait for the next gig! Thanks Freda!

went earlish and had beers with a friend. very chill and relaxing bar. great lighting on the ceiling! there was a band downstairs so I guess it's also a venue. a dj popped up around 9:30 but it wasn't obnoxious. good vibes!

This place is exactly what you were missing if you're a humanist and care about community or enjoy alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages and independent music. LGBTQIA+ safe space.

My Airbnb was around the corner and I was looking for a cool bar to chill at. I found one. Stayed till close two nights in a row. The DJ was fantastic both nights. The bartenders are the reason I went back. Had some epic conversations. I’ll be back in May. Make time for Freda!

I'd frequent years ago. Feels like a stripped down version a little bit now. Decent munchies, ok-ish service unless you develop report "want some action, wave an Andrew Jackson kinda thing" depending on the person. Miss the indies nights and musicians/comedy open mics. Used to be like 2-4 a week. I'm glad that on the way that somethings never change- every night; somethings up. One of those places you can tailor it to your experience

Shows, drinkies, lovely folks (all of them), and a fiber-optic cloud-laden ceiling. A part of a well-balanced diet.

Love Bar Freda!! Danielle, Austin, Samson and everyone else on staff are absolutely excellent. Prices are fair for the area and it never takes too long to get a drink. The shows and events downstairs are absolutely awesome and there are usually djs upstairs on the weekend. The owners have really worked hard to foster a sense of community. In you’re in Ridgewood, you should absolutely check out Bar Freda.

Vibes! Great neighborhood place with solid cocktails and live music. $6 happy old fashioneds keeping the NYC dream alive...
