Expectation, anticipation, celebration. Freedom. A sense of looking forward. Surprise. Delight. Like every day is Friday. On repeat. Whenever you want it.

Fridays first opened in New York in 1965 with flowing cocktails and charismatic bartenders wearing red and white stripes and making every night feel like a Friday. Over 55 years later, our vision is to make Fridays famous again by proudly celebrating our heritage and serving freshly made to order dishes from top-quality ingredients and vibrant, classic cocktails full of energy and theatre. All this complemented by iconic Fridays service and a spirit of generosity from a team who celebrate the values of pride, passion and personality on a daily basis.

Having successfully navigated the year that was 2020 – and even the first quarter of 2021 – we’re now in a very strong position to continue our brand reinvigoration and business expansion. We have new locations to open, new brand propositions to launch and a fresh range of ‘Fridays at Home’ products and experiences to merchandise.
