After calling last drinks on the beloved Cafe Freda’s in December, Dave Abram and Carla Uriarte are returning to their old neck of the woods in autumn.

Yes, Freda’s fans: there’s a dance floor warming up in Chippendale, just 600 metres from the original. Bar Freda’s will open in the former Lil Sis space, the slim wine bar on one side of Solotel club The Abercrombie.

Over the last four years on its sunny Oxford Street corner, excellent drinks were poured, a string of talented chefs captained the kitchen, and pop-ups, markets and kitchen takeovers with like-minded venues were regular. But before that there was nearly a decade of late-night dancing at warehouse bar Freda’s. Bar Freda’s brings the concepts together.

The Abercrombie has a 24-hour licence and multiple club spaces, and Abram and Uriarte will take the creative lead on programming, which will include a regular Club Freda’s night.

Bar Freda’s will open in April 2025
