We stopped up here to see a band while we were in town. It also happened to be their 30th birthday weekend party/bash! Thee place was packed and they set up a tent in order to accommodate the crowd. They did a good job controlling he masses.
I am thinking that on a typical night this place is packed with LSU studetns. Although I am thinking LSU students made up about 50% of the crowd the night we were there, it looked like there were many people there who frequented this place over the years and returning to wish them a Happy birthday!
It was a fun crowd, a fun show and i had a great time. What more can I ask for?
Fred's has something that more bars should adopt. It's called free drinks. It usually occurs on Friday nights. For two hours, usually from 8 p.m. - 10 p.m. you pay a ten dollar cover and drink all you want; liquors, beer etc. all free. But with most things there is a catch. If you say you want a vodka/sprite then they will give you the well vodka. However, if you request Grey Goose and vodka then they will oblige you. Little known secret to free drink newbies. If you want the good stuff you have to ask. Other than that it is a typical college bar and you shouldn't expect it to be anything other than that. Enjoy free drinks and recommend it to your local bar!
