I’ve been coming to this spot since my undergrad days and always loved the atmosphere. I stopped by again tonight (they were showing Scream, which was pretty cool), but unfortunately had another disappointing experience with the same bartender with reddish hair. I’ve noticed this pattern before — she tends to give more attention to certain patrons while others, like my friends and I, are left waiting. The first time it happened, I gave her the benefit of the doubt and figured maybe she was just having a bad day. But after tonight, it’s clear this isn’t a one-time thing. It’s disappointing, because this place used to be one of my favorites, and I’d really like to see it get back to the friendly, welcoming vibe it once had.

Play terrible music that my kids have no business hearing the words to at 1am on a sunday! They are ruining their reputation by allowing these horrible things to be said so late at night. I live 3 streets away and i still hear it through my walls!

If you need a place to host your event - you've found it! Freight Icehouse and Yardbar hosted the graduation celebration for some of the summer '25 law school students. It was beyond perfect - the atmosphere, the willingness and flexibility to accommodate all of our requests and attentiveness to our party was spectacular. If I could give 6 out of 5 stars I would. Amber made the evening so special and fun and perfect. I could not have pulled it off without her! Customer service is an art and science and Amber has it down cold. Truly, I can't even think of any constructive criticism for Freight, Amber or any of their servers. Thank you Freight! and Thank you Amber!!

I went to this place to have drinks with my DnL and found this is a very unique place with all types of games. The down side is that its more for young college student type people. Definitely not for the older crowd. It would be nice if there was a mixture of different aged people.

Freight Bar in Waco has one of the most welcoming, diverse crowds you’ll find anywhere—everyone’s just there to vibe and have a good time. The atmosphere is always chill, the people are kind, and it feels like a place where anyone can belong.
