Freeman's Pub

A couple notes to add to reviews...The new menu is great!  The redid the kitchen and before everything was just kinda bar food but now it is bar food with flair.  Still good prices.  I especially like the burgers and onion rings.  The potato cuts are good too.

This is a local place so you won't get the cheesy TGI Friday's service but you will be friends with the waitstaff (or owner) by the end of the night.  Low key...never a rush to flip your table...and the first place I have been to where "everybody knows your name".  

St. Patrick's Day was very fun!  I have heard Karaoke is good but I am biased.  I host the trivia on Tuesdays so I know that is fun.  I really enjoy going here once a week at least!

I've only been to Freeman's three times--each time to support live music--but each time I leave wishing that Freeman's had existed during the years I lived in Gastonia.  Back in  those days the only watering holes that I knew of in Gastonia were chain restaurants like Chili's, Applebee's and Hooters, and the beer selection is the beer selection that one expects at those places (read, yellow water).  

Fast forward to modern times, where the Gastonia-dweller has the fantastic option to quench their thirst at Freeman's Pub!  It would be a stretch to say that the beer selection here is epic, but it is by no means remotely close to shabby.  In addition to the 7 or 8 beers on tap, there is a good selection of bottled beer.  This is a place where the lover of Bud Light and a quasi-beer snob can order beer and drink happily alongside one another.  

I have not experienced the slow service the Joe B. mentioned in his review, and the bartenders are both friendly and helpful.  Free local live music and great beer make Freeman's a place that I know I'll return to many more times.

The bar is slow, you will stand/sit there for quite some time before you get a drink or order your food. The food is okay, but I have had better. You should get more for your money though. Great potential.
