It's like two different places. Upstairs is the restaurant which is non-smoking or at least I have never seen anyone smoke there. The food is good and the prices are good also. Very friendly staff. You can even get a table outside on the balcony overlooking the street. Unfortunately, you have to climb a winding staircase to get to it from the downstairs bar. The downstairs is a very smoky bar. Don't care for it.
Phillipe' - Need I say More?
Nice cozy little Neighborhood Bar, with Emphasis on LITTLE. Kichy and friendly, good drinks, Oh and did I mention the Bartender Phillipe' .... AMAZING!
One of the best!
I spent 5 weeks in Puerto Vallarta (my 4th trip to PV in 2014), and was living right next door to Fridas. I got to know all of the bartenders, owners and patrons....they treated me like family. The food is incredible, so make sure to stop in and have Beto whip something up for you. The prices are good, and the people are even better. I look forward to going back and seeing all of my friends at Fridas!
The CHEERS of PV
Friendly, community-type bar. Low key. Everyone is welcomed with smiles and nods. Easy chatting. Try a couple shots of their own house brand Tequila. Smooth...
Too Smokey with too many boozers
I was there having a nice conversation with a friend about a recent trip I took to Nicaragua. I stayed in a 6 US dollar hotel and a local guy I met in Nicaragua heard where I was staying and considered it high end! We laughed a bit over anyone thinking a 6 dollar hotel was upscale in any country. At this, some horrible gringo queen sitting next to us said THAT ISN'T FUNNY! I DON'T LAUGH AT THE UNFORTUNATE! We tried to ignore this fool and continue our conversation, which was none of his business anyway. The problem is the bar attracts nasty drunks and the smoke is thick, it makes your clothes smell bad. Another gringo here went on a rant screaming loudly against gay militants stating he is in the closet in Idaho, Of course, it it were not for gay militants, this bar would have been closed! If you want to meet losers, Frida is the place.
