For all booking requests please contact: [email protected]
(673)

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 the 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!

🏵️CAL TWOMEY🏵️
With support from Finn Fletcher White and Jack Seymour
Thursday October 15th / 7:30pm / €5

Cal Twomey is an Irish singer-songwriter, creating music inspired by stoner, slacker rock.

In late 2020, Cal found himself in Helsinki, Finland and quickly fell in love with the local music scene. He quickly made a name for himself in the Helsinki underground rock scene as singer and guitarist in Faraway Shapes. The Cork native recently moved home and decided to start a solo project as a way of showing more vulnerable and personal material.

🎟️ Tickets are €5 OTD, cash or revolut

🌙MOONSET & MOTHER JOHNSON🌙
Friday October 16th / 8pm / €8 ADV / €10 OTD

Mother Johnson and Moonset present a double bill of shoegaze fuzz and bubblegrunge business, for an unforgettable show to get you dancing.

Moonset's sound draws influence from acts such as Wolf Alice and Men I Trust, with carefully crafted guitar parts complimenting the drum and bass work.

Mother Johnson are a dream-pop/shoegaze outfit hailing from Amsterdam. Their music weaves a hazy dreamscape that will tickle your eardrums.

Dead Cult presents
💀TOOMS💀
With support from Adversary and Everdead Wood
Saturday Oct 17th / 8:30pm / €10

Tooms return to Cork to celebrate the release of their latest album "Karst". Support on the night comes from Adversary and Everdead Wood A

TOOMS are a Metallic Sludge trio from the West of Ireland, drawing inspiration from ignorant caveman riffs, doom's thick tones, the raw attack of death metal and hardcore's cold aggression, they offer a unique cocktail of filthy, pummeling heft that is comfortable exploring more progressive and experimental territories.

Wasted Space was founded by Daragh Twomey & Steve Collins back in 2011 and in 2016, they called it a day after 2 EPs and a rake of gigs across Ireland under their belt.

In 2024, the band re-emerged from their hibernation, with Andy McGrath joining on vocals and Joe Clarke on drums. And now after the release of their new EP, "Discourse" earlier this year they are back and ready to bring the noise to Fred Zeppelins!
