Fred's Place: Reviews & Ratings
The last great dive standing in the area. Nice people. Nice decor. Food truck in back. After the nut house closed this is the one.
Hands down the best bar in town! The staff is amazing and the drinks are always on point, and I've seriously tried them all! I love dive bars and the atmosphere in this place nails it. Shout out to my main bartenders when I'm there... Amber, Sarah, and Red! Amber for her amazingly cool and no nonsense approach to taking care of her customers. Sarah for her fun and super friendly attitude towards everyone. And Red for his energetic and welcoming vibe to all who walk in. He always has a cool story to tell and/or hilarious joke. On top of that, I've seen (first hand) Red help out with settling disputes, being a true advocate for the good vibe here at Fred's. And he makes absolutely killer ribs! Thank you Fred's for all the good times and the many more to come!
Great Pub and perfect Guinness! Trivia night was fun but it's great just to hang out and relax.
Best bar in the area! If you're looking for a good dive. Amber is so kind & cute. I wish I could come in on all of her shifts. Amazing service & great food. I recommend the hot link.
The atmosphere is great, they make you feel welcome and like family right away. What more can you ask for?
Been here a few times. I live on the other side of town, so it's not my local. That said, Fred's is a quintessential dive bar right on the Mountain View/Palo Alto border. To be clear: Fred's is unpretentious. Ambiance is high. Pool table, juke box, Giants and 49ers paraphernalia... TVs to watch your games; everything you really need. Bartenders have always been friendly and provided prompt service (making your order at the bar is required). Great place to catch a game, forget about life for a while, have fun with friends, or have a little hair of the dog from the night before. In my opinion, the best feature is the Spaten on tap that is also served in the proper glasses. From my 3-star rating system: Serivce: *** They get you your drink as quickly as they can! Food: N/A Dive bar without proper food service. There are snacks and some food items to be had. I have not tried them. Drink up! Drink: *** Spaten on tap in proper glassware...details matter! Didn't taste any cocktails. Your milage may vary, but the beer options are dandy. Ambience: *** Dive bar. Proper neon outside. Proper decor in side. Unfancy. Friendly. Do you need more? Not a place to get pampered; rather a place to self-medicate in a supportive environment and enjoy the crowd, game or whatever. Overall: *** Best dive bar in Mountain View.
I absolutely love Fred's - a dive bar in Palo Alto good to visit over the weekends. Cheap drinks, good bartenders. Usually get peanuts or polish sausage hot dogs. They have pool and darts and more formal seating but it's most fun to sit at the bar. It's a Great informal dive bar playing sports on the TV screens. Always fun to be there!
