    Met a co-worker for some drinks and food later in the evening and was able to watch the Phillies lose and also catch a football game as well.
    I believe there was a mini basketball game inside. 2 bars, several TV's and a full bar and menu.
    Staff was friendly and helpful with menu selections.
    Prices were reasonable and the drinks were pretty strong.

    Nice lil bar that wasn't packed or rowdy and had a nice mixed crowd.

    Ordered bourbon wings and traditional wings (they were 50 cents that day minimum of 6) and they were pretty good. My co-worker ordered chicken tenders and fries and wow the tenders looked huge and she said they were good.

    Definitely a place I'll come back to.

    One of the best places in East Falls to hangout with a large group of friends and watch a sports game. There is a large restaurant section (probably too big, as it's never close to full) and a more fun bar section with some games in the back. Food is pretty solid and decently priced. However, be warned. The service is very slow and food takes forever to come out. It's fine if you're there watching a lengthy game, just don't expect to be in and out quickly.

    Last night devours lead me to Franklin's in East Falls Philadelphia PA. Franklins is a East Falls hotspot. Especially known for its happy hour, karaoke nights, & dope vibes. It's a very mixed crowd which is really good! Franklins also has the best of both worlds. One side is for sports watchers and the other side is for partygoers. They also have an outside deck that is really fun during the summer months. While here, we ordered they're famous crab fries. They came with American cheese, a lot of lumped crabmeat, topped with scallions and Old Bay seasoning. The first bite is like an explosion of flavor. They are really good and really worth trying. We also ordered the mussels that came in their butter, garlic, and wine sauce. They were also topped with scallions and Parmesan cheese. This is the first time I've ever tried mussels with Parmesan cheese on top; and I must say it's quite an experience. They were good but they can hold the cheese for next time lol . If you ever find yourself wanting a good turn up and great food at a East Falls food spot with a great vibe? Definitely check out Franklin's and don't forget to tell them that shimmy sent you! #happyhour #food #foodie #frenchfries #crab #mussels #musselsandfries #philadelphia #philly #foodphotography #foodporn #foodgasm #cheese #bread #toast #butter

    Visited Franklin's for lunch today around 11:45. After about 30 minutes, the bar filled up quickly with many teachers getting out of school (last day). Only one bartender was on at the time and hustled the entire time.
    I always enjoy the food and atmosphere here, but I was especially impressed today with the original bartender and the second bartender that came in just before I left.
    Will definitely continue to come back for the food and the great staff/service!

    The food was good. I got to taste their seafood Mac and cheese and it was really tasty. I would say that I feel like their drinks are really watered down. Me and my friends ordered a double and it tasted really sweet and very minimal liquor inside of the drink
