The 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.
EaterMai 28, 2014
While the feeling is speakeasy-esque, the drinks are all over the map with classics, punches and adventurous selections that include ingredients like Arbequina olive oil-washed mescal and cardamaro. Mehr erfahren

I 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.

GET 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.

At 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.

This 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 WilliamsOktober 3, 2012
The 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.

They 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!

Heavy influence from the NYC cocktail bar Death + Co, go on a weekday if you want to enjoy a lowkey night with fantastic cocktails.
Philadelphia MagazineJanuar 3, 2012
Drinks 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 JulinJuni 30, 2013
Very nice place to get specialty drinks. Try the "sorry for partying" punch. Also the "little fury" is very delicious, tastes like an orange creamsicle!

Superb cocktails. Awesome vibe. They'll make you something great based on your tastes but their specials are worth trying.
Julia RDezember 9, 2014
They know exactly what they're doing when it comes to making a stiff drink! Love this place for the ambiance too.
Timur AsarJuly 15, 2011
My 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

One 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.

There 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!

Skybar- outdoor rooftop, great ambience, drinks mixed well, decent DJs
Joe CFebruar 14, 2015
Call 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 MagazineOktober 11, 2010
Should 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 Mehr erfahren

every drink is absolutely scrumptious. sit at the bar to chat with the bartenders to get the inside scoop!
Ricky SherrillJuly 28, 2015
They make some very good bourbon drinks. I sampled the "Midnight's Child" & recommend you do the same.
A. CanSeptember 17, 2016
really good, cozy bar! 🎉 you don't need something more.. remember to drink enough water 💦 in between cocktails!🍹
Ian LazzaraAugust 11, 2014
Get here early to get a seat there's sometimes a wait. Knowledgeable bartenders will make you any type of drink.
VictoriaSeptember 15, 2018
One of the best spicy mezcal drinks I’ve had... and it’s usually my go to cocktails 😍
SpikeFebruar 7, 2013
Between its speak-easy vibe, seasonal menus and creative cocktails, The Franklin is one of the most bustling bars in Philly.
LindsaySeptember 27, 2013
Lindsey was great! I had the Sneaky Feelings- really nicely balanced, spicy but not at all overwhelming. Highly recommend.
Raymond KingJuly 11, 2011
Esquires 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 FuttermanApril 17, 2015
Great for dates! Lovely booths are super comfy, and they don't let it feel crowded.
Ben HennesyAugust 23, 2011
Don'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 FuFebruar 4, 2015
Very 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!

The AC Expressway reminds me of a drier Negroni! Magnificent!!!!

Authentic SpeakEasy feel, off the beaten path, Great drinks and atmosphere!
Melissa WallaceFebruar 28, 2015
Service is well done. However: Thinking people come to say they have "been" here. Good tables for a date who likes a good drink.
Kevin GardnerJanuar 26, 2014
Pricey drinks but the quality is ALWAYS there. The drink list always changes so there is always something new to try

Rock-solid booze, and an inspirational level of polish and expertise.” Mehr erfahren

Start with the classic cocktail (an Old Fashion) then get an unique drink from the menu.
Cameron BlankDezember 23, 2014
Everything. The drink menu is top tier with regards to creativity. Don't go here if your favorite liquor is vodka.
Philadelphia MagazineDezember 2, 2011
The Cowboy Killer and Oh, Sweet Nothing are just the kind of unforgettable classy cocktails you want to sip on in this underground getaway. Mehr erfahren

Don't belabor too long on the options, they're all good. Camomile infused whiskey 😁
JamesAugust 19, 2012
Friendly service, nicely decorated. Cocktails were a bit overdone. Some cocktails had 10 plus ingredients. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Mehr erfahren

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)!
Brendan RastetterAugust 23, 2014
The Cowboy Killer is my favorite! Give it a try.
Taylor VANovember 15, 2014
Try the Perpetual Motion Machine! Not on the menu.
Jenna Flateman PosnerOktober 18, 2012
Be patient when visiting FMI, there's usually a wait...and it's well worth it!
Hari PatelDezember 21, 2014
Large list of cocktails. Great variety. Speakeasy feel
Rob McGowanJuly 17, 2018
Underground bar considered by many to be Philly's premiere spot for craft cocktails.
