Freddy's Bar

Editorial Review

Freddy’s dead no more! Phoenix-like rise from Bruce Ratner’s ashes for beloved Prospect Heights dive. Downhill slide to the south Slope, but 2.0 is cleaner and nattier all around. Original booths, tables, and Prohibition-era bar all made the trip, as did the “Chains of Justice.” Video art by co-owner Donald O’Finn carries over, augmented by new frog tank, chandeliers, old-timey wallpaper. Labor of love, as reflected in the loyalty of the clientele.
