  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!

  Was looking through old college pics (10 years ago...wtf already?) and ran into some pics that looked like they were from Fred's.
  
  Here's a reconstruction of what I can remember....
  
  $1 shots and free Jager around midnight when they play Thunderstruck right after the LSU 4th Qtr song.  Nothing else really needs to be said.
  
  Not only that but holy hookup fest and a lot of shameless grinding.  Gotta love that DJ for playing old school Hot Boys
  
  Friday nights before a big SEC game were the nights.  All the opposing fans coming to hit up our joints, and a lot of shit talking.  Straight up Animal House, southern size.
  
  Might've made this whole review up, because most of my memories of Fred's are pretty fuzzy.

  ehh. i wasnt impressed. I know I'm about to come off like an old man but i thought the music was to loud for the size. There was a good crowd and two bars. The 2nd bar was tiny and only serviced by one bartender but he was quick so waiting wasn't an issue. The mens restroom is small and the door is left open most of the time so if you want privacy try the alley. The BIG SHOTS made up for all the downfalls. You should pop on in when your in Tigeralley

  My favorite bar in Tigerland, Fred's has been known to throw some of the wildest parties in Baton Rouge. Good drink prices and excellent live music. The absence of freshman guys (20+ to get in for guys on most nights) maks this bar a bit more easygoing and mature than its nearest neighbor (Reggie's). However, it is still one of the most popular bars in Baton Rouge and at times standing room alone is difficult to find. But the 4 stars are well deserved - the parties at Fred's rival few others.

  Depends on the night, but this place can go off with the right crowd. outside patio has good live music often and drink specials offered 6 days a week. Essentially, if you are looking to see college girls go wild, check this place
