There has been a pub on this site since 1825 and Fred Zeppelins was established in October 1997'

Fred's is known throughout Ireland and beyond as one of the liveliest bars in Cork with reasonable prices and an electric atmosphere at weekends. Freds also has a small 80 capacity venue overhead available for hire. In the bar we have a wide selection of beers, cocktails and our famous shots such as t

he Super Fred Special with Absinthe - guaranteed to hit the spot and you can expect to hear Alternative Rock, Indie and Metal interspersed with everything from Ska, Punk and Classic tunes from all eras . This is reflected in the bars décor which has an old world feel with its slate floor and stone walls which are adorned with Live Gig posters from around the World. There are Live Gigs in the Venue and Djs in the Bar at weekends and there is always something going on. Our version of a Happy Hour “The Rockin Hour” runs from 4pm to 8pm, everyday when most Pints are a bargain

Also keep an eye out for our "Specials of the Day" chalk board over the Bar!

🔥DREEM WEAPONS🔥
With support from Trainwreck, Essence of Blue and The Spudguns
8pm / €10

This June Bank Holiday weekend we have a cracking four band line up, with Dreem Weapons coming over for their debut Irish gig.

"A whirlpool of dreams wishing they could dream themselves again but the dreamcatcher itself was dragged behind a fishing boat for years. Soaked in the ocean's good salt, the entity dismembered itself and fell into the mass of the sea that we once all rose from. Once ship-wrecked upon hallowed shores, locals chipped away until finally a fossil was uncovered. A curly ammonite. Inside she was a memory, and that memory was Dreem Weapons."

On support is The Spudguns, Trainwreck and Essence of Blue.
