Fred's Revolucion - Quezon City

Gather a group of friends and drop by; you’ll be amazed at how quickly time flies and how many engaging discussions you catch. The bar exudes a unique charm and has an ambiance that’s ripe for storytelling. My friends and I have visited several times, and each time we’ve found ourselves completely absorbed in the experience. I love that this place offers something refreshingly different from the usual bars in the Makati area; it has that rare quality that’s hard to come by.

I attended a meeting at Cubao Expo and was invited out for a beer afterward. The entire venue is incredible and stands out from other spots I've visited in Quezon/Metro Manila. Be sure to try the beer recommendations that aren't on the menu, as well as the ceviche-style fish and the fries! The place is truly fantastic.

Fred's is the perfect pub for when you just want to enjoy a drink—no dancing, no blaring music, and definitely no sleazy guys trying to hit on you. It's all about the drinking here. Whether you're flying solo, hanging out with friends, or enjoying the company of a charming stranger you met on Twitter, Fred's is the best spot in Quezon City. The atmosphere is incredibly inviting, making me think of Fred's Revolucion as a reliable friend—whatever type of friendship you need for the night. The staff is extremely friendly, and the bartenders are always up for a chat. Plus, their prices are ridiculously low compared to bars in BGC and Makati. Be sure to try their Frozen Margarita, Bagnet, and Fish and Chips; I promise you'll love them—just like I'm looking forward to the next Star Wars movie!

There are times when all we really want is a nice place to sit and hang with friends, have some bar chow and lots and lots of cheap booze. Sometimes nothing beats conversation and buckets of alcohol. Having friends close to the area, this is a usual haunt for me. The vibe of the place makes me think of the bars you would find in Antonio Banderas movies like Desperado or Once Upon A Time In Mexico. Some people might favor more sophisticated or classy surroundings, but if all you're looking for is a hole-in-the-wall watering hole that won't break the bank, Fred's is hard to beat! The food is also pretty good! I've had their fish and chips, Pernil which is like a Latin American lechon and their sausages are also killer. So if you're in search for a place with a tambay vibe, Fred's Revolucion may just be the place for you.

Sometimes I miss the old hipster Cubao X fiercely and Fred 's takes me back to that time post-college when my friends and I would meet there over a cheap couple of beers or congregate to support someone 's film thesis screening. At the time Fred 's (or at least the space they occupy now) was just a humble cafe-slash-gallery, but is now the monster of a watering hole it is today. What 's great about Fred 's is that the food they serve is inventive and good (something I miss from Mogwai fiercely--recreate the bacon-wrapped liver if you please, por favor), which match the vibe of their eclectic and unusual design. The split banger and mash and grilled pork strips are old favorites, but you can tell even from something as simple as their bar nuts, which are fried in bagnet oil, that Fred 's likes to keep their stuff special. It 's all pretty affordable too, though I do kind of remember them being a little more generous with their portions before. The beer is cheap, but I do have a special fondness for their daiquiris, which are always made fresh. I had a blueberry daiquiri once, which was quite the surprise--I didn 't know we had fresh blueberries here in the country! Get your friends together and have good eats and a drink at Fred 's. Come early though. Fred 's may claim a lot of space but the tables can fill up pretty quick.
