My food was delicious! I've never been to a gay bar since I'm straight but was invited by a friend. I went for trivia and karaoke and had an absolute blast!!
This place has some fun events (the drag performers are excellent!) but the food is plain terrible. The service is below satisfactory but some of the servers are good. Poppy is great! The manager Stacey (or Tracey) is often rude, dismissive and unfriendly. Overall try it once but there are much better places to go. Just cuz it's a gay friendly place and I'm gay, doesn't mean I'll spend my cash at a place where they can improve a lot of things but do not. As a paying customer, I should have fun there; not to get stressed out.
Freddie's is like the TV bar Cheers! A variety of people there. It is a gay bar but everyone is welcome. Karaoke is great. Happy Hour is great. Tuesday is Taco night and a really popular Trivia game. Half-price hamburgers on Wednesday. Saturday drag show. There is no other such place in N. Virginia. *THE man himself, Freddie, visits regularly. It's my unofficial Arlington socializing headquarters for my business, Revive Kitchen & Bath. See you there!
