In the heart of Mountain View, there's a corner bar that’s been bringing folks together for generations. Fred’s Place isn’t flashy. It doesn’t pretend to be something it’s not. It’s a true dive bar—authentic, unfiltered, and full of character. It’s the kind of place where the wood is worn, the jukebox is loud, and the stories are real. Whether you’re winding down after work or catching up with friends on the weekend, you’ll find comfort in the familiar glow of neon signs, the hum of conversation, and a cold drink waiting with your name on it.

Now, if you’re a sports fan, you’re in luck. Fred’s is a neighborhood sports bar through and through. Multiple screens play the big games, the small games, and everything in between. You can chalk up your cue and challenge a buddy on one of our classic pool tables, or settle an old score at the foosball table. And for those who like to mix a little competition with a lot of laughs, trivia night every Monday brings minds together in good fun—no matter your level of expertise.
And when Thursday or Saturday rolls around, the mic is yours. Our beloved karaoke nights are more than just a stage—they’re a celebration of courage, community, and pure joy. Whether you’re channeling Aretha, belting out Bon Jovi, or trying your best with Taylor Swift, your voice matters here. Because at Fred’s, we believe the real magic happens when people come together.
