Fremont has been a popular Coug hotspot for quite some time and features several fun bars as a few unique festivals throughout the year as well. From The Solstice festival and the naked bicycle races to the Fremont outdoor cinema, there is never a dull moment.
Another fun hidden feature of this Seattle neighborhood is the Fremont Troll. No, this isn't a joke. Derived from the tale, "Three Billy Goats Gruff," This troll has become a tourist attraction.
Sculpted by four local artists, the Troll is a mixed media colossal statue, located on N. 36th Street at Troll Avenue N., under the north end of the Aurora Bridge. It is clutching an actual Volkswagen Beetle which has a California license plate. Visitors are encouraged to climb him or try to poke out his one good eye, made from a hubcap. The Troll is 18 feet tall, weighs 13,000 lb, and is made of steel rebar, wire, and concrete.
As for restaurants, there is an Awesome Thai place called Tawon Thai on Fremont Ave right next door to a bomb Greek restaurant if that's more your taste. El Camino is quite the popular spot if you're looking for Mexican cuisine. Pubs and other great restaurants are scattered throughout Fremont as well, but there is one place to grab a bite that is the closest thing that can come close to comparing to the legendary Pullman snack spot-Munchy'z.
The hotdog stand located down the road from several large nightlife venues is the go-to spot if you're craving a hot dog any time of day or night, even after 2am! While they lack the spicy cream cheese Munchy'z is famous for, it the closest we can get to Pullman, and therefore is amazing so you must pay the stand a visit.
When it comes to nightlife, there are many options in Fremont.
