Come on over to enjoy an evening like a Fremont resident.

The Huddle

The drinks and clientele of the Huddle are reminiscent of an old-fashioned casino in Reno. The old-timey portraits and landscape pictures set this bar apart from the generic photographs found in other dive bars. You’ll meet some rowdy and enthusiastic regulars ready to make new friends. Janelle, the current owner of the Huddle, is a friendly face and will share information about the area if you ask nicely. If the old-timer atmosphere isn’t your typical choice, the Huddle also hosts regular karaoke nights, local DJs, and local bands to play any song you request.

The Florence

Bar, Pub Grub, BBQ
Located in the historic Niles district, the Florence Bar, or known locally as the Flo, rests beside vintage train tracks, adorable antique stores, and sets where the one and only Charlie Chaplin created his legendary films. Once you step inside, you’ll be drinking and laughing with the friendliest groups of local bikers you will ever meet. The “good old days” vibe of the surrounding area encourages the staff to treat you like family as they pour your favorite drinks. Come by during the summer for BBQ Sundays for the best sirloin and rib eye in the East Bay.
