Robert AmezquitaJunio 21, 2015The most unique and amazing "punches" you'll ever have to your palate..the bartenders are friendly, the atmosphere is laid back yet sophisticated, well worth any line you may encounter. Drinkeasy.
Pablo VladimirMayo 18, 2015I got the punch bowl with 3 other friends and it was a great experience. It is meant to be an intimate experience but there was a pretty rowdy group when I last went. Definitely would go back.
Erin GreenawaldAbril 28, 2015GET THE BLOOD RED MOON. Or a punch. Or anything--you won't be disappointed. Some of the best cocktails I've had ever. Plus fun staff and atmosphere.
If you are unsure what to order, ask for suggestions. They will ask you a few questions and give you a few options. The staff is well educated on the menus.
CITY GRITAgosto 1, 2014At one point, this spot served as the front for the country's largest alcohol ring. Now it's a speakeasy (with limited seating) celebrating cocktails and the golden age of the pre-prohibition era.
Casey ChesterOctubre 21, 2013This was worth the wait and probably only sat for about 15-20 minutes outside. The drinks are incredible. We were seated upstairs at first. It was nice, but moved downstairs and like it better.
Clay WilliamsOctubre 3, 2012The hidden downstairs cocktail bar thing is a little passe these days, but Philly manages to keep even this unpretentious and fun. Tell them what you like & they'll make something wonderful.
Ron DizonDiciembre 8, 2013They were out of the porter beer on the menu and recommended this Perkulator beer. Loved it! It is a must try if you love dark beer and coffee!
Long CaoMarzo 7, 2016Heavy influence from the NYC cocktail bar Death + Co, go on a weekday if you want to enjoy a lowkey night with fantastic cocktails.
Philadelphia MagazineEnero 3, 2012Drinks like the Cowboy Killer and Oh, Sweet Nothing will change the way you think about cocktails. And the fact that you get to drink them underground and in the dark just makes them double-awesome.
Erica JulinJunio 30, 2013Very nice place to get specialty drinks. Try the "sorry for partying" punch. Also the "little fury" is very delicious, tastes like an orange creamsicle!
OkCupid Daters' ChoiceJulio 13, 2017The Franklin Bar was voted the Best Boozy Date Spot by OkCupid users in the first-ever Daters' Choice Awards! Tap Read more for additional date spot categories in Philadelphia. #daterschoice Leer más
Alex HennesseyJulio 7, 2015Superb cocktails. Awesome vibe. They'll make you something great based on your tastes but their specials are worth trying.
Julia RDiciembre 9, 2014They know exactly what they're doing when it comes to making a stiff drink! Love this place for the ambiance too.
Timur AsarJulio 15, 2011My favourite bar in Philly, went back twice!! Ask the waiters to make a cocktail that's not on the menu and they come up with some funky mixes. Great place, crazy doorman and good atmosphere
Nathan FFebrero 16, 2012One of the few bars in the Philadelphia area that carries George Dickel. Yes, there are more Tennessee Whiskeys than Jack Daniels! Dickel is the better of the two anyway.
HomeSpeakeasyFebrero 3, 2012There isn't much to say about the Franklin that hasn't already been said. The drinks are phenomenal, and the menu changes every season, so make sure to stop in regularly to keep up!
B. Supreme-HurtadoMayo 5, 2017Skybar- outdoor rooftop, great ambience, drinks mixed well, decent DJs
Joe CFebrero 14, 2015Call me a stickler, but I think if you're running a modern speakeasy, its silly to have a line out the front with a bouncer. Inside is cramped and noisy, and not at all the upscale vibe.
Philadelphia MagazineOctubre 11, 2010Should your mood dictate something classic, there’s the rum daiquiri (served up); if it dictates something smooth, perhaps the Purple Prose (gin, dry vermouth, blueberry syrup, absinthe, orange bitter Leer más
chinselEnero 5, 2015every drink is absolutely scrumptious. sit at the bar to chat with the bartenders to get the inside scoop!
Ricky SherrillJulio 28, 2015They make some very good bourbon drinks. I sampled the "Midnight's Child" & recommend you do the same.
A. CanSeptiembre 17, 2016really good, cozy bar! 🎉 you don't need something more.. remember to drink enough water 💦 in between cocktails!🍹
Ian LazzaraAgosto 11, 2014Get here early to get a seat there's sometimes a wait. Knowledgeable bartenders will make you any type of drink.
VictoriaSeptiembre 15, 2018One of the best spicy mezcal drinks I’ve had... and it’s usually my go to cocktails 😍
SpikeFebrero 7, 2013Between its speak-easy vibe, seasonal menus and creative cocktails, The Franklin is one of the most bustling bars in Philly.
LindsaySeptiembre 27, 2013Lindsey was great! I had the Sneaky Feelings- really nicely balanced, spicy but not at all overwhelming. Highly recommend.
Raymond KingJulio 11, 2011Esquires top 10 best bars in America. Friendly crowd, without douchebags, and mixology drinks. Looks like a mortgage company door, but underneath we find a nice little speakeasy
Emilie FuttermanAbril 17, 2015Great for dates! Lovely booths are super comfy, and they don't let it feel crowded.
Ben HennesyAgosto 23, 2011Don't bother with the food but ask for the Billy Penn Club and the (Dead Cowboy?) ... can't remember the name of that last one, BT will be able to tell you, though. Best mixed drinks, bar none.
Diana FuFebrero 4, 2015Very cute, great for dates. Gets busy even on weeknights so be prepared for a wait.
Close your eyes and pick any drink, each one is a winner!
Kyle FlowersFebrero 17, 2017Authentic SpeakEasy feel, off the beaten path, Great drinks and atmosphere!
Melissa WallaceFebrero 28, 2015Service is well done. However: Thinking people come to say they have "been" here. Good tables for a date who likes a good drink.
Kevin GardnerEnero 26, 2014Pricey drinks but the quality is ALWAYS there. The drink list always changes so there is always something new to try- Philadelphia MagazineNoviembre 18, 2013Rock-solid booze, and an inspirational level of polish and expertise.” Leer más
Matthew PalmerAgosto 9, 2014Start with the classic cocktail (an Old Fashion) then get an unique drink from the menu.
Cameron BlankDiciembre 23, 2014Everything. The drink menu is top tier with regards to creativity. Don't go here if your favorite liquor is vodka.- Philadelphia MagazineDiciembre 2, 2011The Cowboy Killer and Oh, Sweet Nothing are just the kind of unforgettable classy cocktails you want to sip on in this underground getaway.

- Anneliese KingFebrero 4, 2015Don't belabor too long on the options, they're all good. Camomile infused whiskey 😁
ask for something off-menu if you're feeling adventurous. if you fear certain flavors, they'll exclude those for you (but it's not quite as fun)!
Jenna Flateman PosnerOctubre 18, 2012Be patient when visiting FMI, there's usually a wait...and it's well worth it!
- Rob McGowanJulio 17, 2018Underground bar considered by many to be Philly's premiere spot for craft cocktails.

"Brandon was a terrific server! Very attentive. You must try the Brussel Sprouts & Sauteed Mushrooms. The Filet Mignon was excellent & for dessert you gotta have the Bananas Foster! Absolutely devine!"
