Florence Bar

Met up with some friends for dinner in Fremont, but we really needed drinks cause the restaurant did not have a liquor license. Searching on Yelp, Florence came up....why not? The drive over I kept thinking, "Where the heck am I going?" But once you turn down Niles Blvd. you are transported to a different era. It looks like a quaint little suburb of Fremont.Great set-up in the front. Large bar and tables with chairs. Pool table in the back. It's a bar. It's a bar you look forward to coming to because it's laid back. Had we not had dinner, the tacos looked good! Great pour on my Jameson! The bartender was very friendly! I'm not sure if it was Gracie or Jen the mermaid...LOL! They were going to do karaoke which was our cue to leave.Definitely worth checking out, even if you're not in the area. I will be back!

Allow me to say, that with the exception of enlisted clubs at military bases in my younger days... I am NOT a "bar guy". That said, the ole Florence is an icon and the ONE bar I will gladly go to. The bartenders are fantastic, it's always a great day when you can sit down and talk with Gracie. Excellent service and the food / music nights are just the best. I hope the doors stay open on this joint another 100 years. Even late night on the weekends, the place is enjoyable. No shenanigans. No ratchet hijinks. Good staff, good food, great drinks. Haven't been there much lately, but I'll have to stop by for the Marine Corps birthday this year.

Amazing bar! No over priced Bay Area prices on drinks here. All hot bartenders is a big plus too

Stop by and see SuziQue and mermaid they are badass you will not be disappointed!!Great personality and service cool vibes

Went to the Florence bar for the first time and the bartender Chicky's was the sweetest most welcoming person ever I would go back just to see her again.

If you are looking for a good dive bar, this is the place. If you get Angelina behind the bar, you're in luck! She is so friendly and welcoming. Always a good time!

Local town bar vibes here. Friendly staff, service and neighborhood.It's a great place to gather, watch sports and chit chat over a drink or two or many!

I rated this establishment 3 stars but .....when Jen the mermaid is working its is a minimum of 10 stars! She's the type of employee when she walks in the customers are so happy to see. She's so positive happy engaging. She is the type of employee /person that one would want to have working for them if they were a manager or owner of a business. When she walked into her job, she seems like she literally likes being there and she's a happy person and do I need to mention she makes the bomb bloody Mary's.. it's gotten to the point where I walk by and if I don't see her. I keep walking.Thanks, Jenn. your customer service really makes a big difference and you compassion and personality. Is something to look forward to.
