Audie's Olympic / Club Fred

I've been here several times for different events, and I have enjoyed myself each time. The atmosphere is really laid back and the crowd ALWAYS diverse. Love it!!

I've been in Fresno for one day, and it's already felt like an eternity.  There's just bar after bar of shear ordinary.  That is, until I stumbled upon Club Fred, or Audie Olympic as it says on the store front.

Club Fred is like a Motown social with pool, brews, tattooed patrons, and hula hoop dancing, YES HULA HOOP DANCING.  Truly a sight to be seen.

I didn't know if it was coincidence, but there just happened to be a gaggle of hoops and a gang of drunken youth who are just AMAZING hula hoop dancers.  I've only seen that stuff at Colorado music fests, but this shit was hypnotizing.  

Club Fred feels like a non-exclusive, yet exclusive club in Silver Lake with tons of room to breathe.  Top notch service, price, patrons and music.  Sounds like a 5 star bar to me.

Bonus points for the shag carpet on the stage.

Oh Audies. Came here for the first time for Jazz Hop 2/2/12
I liked the walls. Their weekly specials weren't bad either. On Tuesday there is Open Mic Night with $2 drafts. They don't have many beers to choose from but there is quality!! Audies has  Lagunitas!!...One of my faves. It can get pretty pricey too :( So its nice to know now that I can get a draft of it for only $2

Bathrooms were clean. Small stage, cleared area to dance, nice lighting equip.,didn't care to much for the furniture or the layout but I guess now i'm just nagging. :) Its a 21+ establishment, i think. When I went there they checked I.D at the door. All in all I liked this place and would recommend it...If you like loud music.
