Freud
FREVD is pronounced "Freud". The V is an upper case Roman U. We liked the form of the letters. Established in 1986, FREUD was the first cafe-bar.
Its secrets include its architecture, its cocktails, its staff and its patrons.

Very happy to announce that is our new tequila. Straight from the highlands of Jalisco, a family-run distillery that’s been crafting tequila for over 80 years. We’re now pouring three stunning expressions:
🥃 Tapatío Blanco – Crisp, fresh, and vegetal with notes of citrus and pepper. Perfect for clean cocktails or sipping neat if you love tequila in its purest form.
🥃 Tapatío Reposado – Rested in oak for balance and warmth. Smooth agave sweetness with a touch of vanilla and spice — a beautiful bridge between Blanco freshness and Añejo depth.
🥃 Tapatío Excelencia Gran Reserva – Aged for years, layered with rich caramel, oak, and dried fruit. A rare tequila that sips like fine cognac or whisky.
Whether you’re here for margaritas, tequila highballs, or a neat pour, this lineup is a taste of true Jalisco heritage. 🌵🔥

💥🎙️We’re thrilled to unveil the lineup for our first-ever monthly comedy night, Stand‑Up in the Basement at FREVD. Expect a mix of familiar TV faces, top-tier circuit comedians, and bright new talent on the cusp of breakout success. Rest assured, you’re in for top‑notch comedy, even from names you might not recognise...yet.
September’s line-up includes the legendary Jeff Innocent, a master of mixing sharp social commentary with his unmistakable East End charm. Described as “a masterclass in stand-up” by The Sunday Times and “gag-heavy, quick-witted and brutally funny” by Chortle, Jeff is a veteran of the circuit and recent winner of British Comedian of the Year, proving he’s only getting better with time.
Joining him is Elliot Steel, whose raw, confessional style has earned rave reviews across the board. Fest Mag called his show “superb and brutally honest”, while Beyond the Joke praised him as “pacy, funny and full of ideas”. At just 27, he’s already carved out a reputation for fearless storytelling and original perspectives on everything from masculinity to MMA mishaps.
Punctuating the evening as MC is the ever-slick Colin Owens, a festival favourite and circuit regular known for his laid-back charm and self-deprecating humour. With praise from the likes of The Guardian and The Stage, and even shout-outs from Jimmy Carr and Frank Skinner, Colin is the perfect host to keep things flowing (and the laughs coming).
🍸To celebrate, we’re extending our happy hour ‘til 7.30pm on comedy nights, come early and grab one of our signature cocktails before the laughs kick off.
