Freddy's Gets Filmed: The Shuttered Brooklyn Bar Is Featured in a New Documentary
Fork in the Road
by Chantal Martineau
Freddy's Bar & Backroom fought a long, hard fight against Bruce Ratner and his Atlantic Yards project. That fight came to a rowdy, bittersweet end on April 30, when the bar bid its patrons farewell. A reincarnation, Freddy's Next Bar, is expected to open this summer, but in the meantime, you can reminisce about the good times during the screening of Freddy's, a new documentary by Vicente Rodriguez Ortega, premiering at the Brooklyn International Film Festival this week.
