Once you walk down the stairs to this unassuming drinking establishment at 18th and Chestnut Streets, you’ll enter a world where liquor is king.
Walking downstairs and entering the plain black door of The Franklin Mortgage & Investment Company, you may feel as if you are entering a secret speakeasy of the 1920s.
The darkened space features low tables perfect for comfortable conversation.
The most prominent decoration is large mural depicting a boxing match from the days of old.
At the cozy bar in the back, bartenders confidently navigate a wide array of bottles, jars and concoctions used to create The Franklin’s cocktail masterpieces.
Do not worry about fighting the crowd for a drink, as The Franklin only lets in as many customers as they have seats.
The policy may lead to a lengthy line outside the door, but don’t worry about the wait – The Franklin will call your phone when your seat is available.
