Dope spot. Great drinks and food. They have hookah. Chill spot by yourself, another peer, or even small group.
This place is a hit or miss — the bartender on one night was great and on another night extremely rude by refusing service. Plenty of other bars in the neighborhood to check out.
On Saturday night friends and I went to Franklin 820 a bar on Union in Franklin is the most racist by have ever been to do. The bartender gave me my bill and I didn’t tip her and she showed her friends on the other side of the bar said he didn’t tip Dave the full of them didn’t tip me my friends was reaching in a pocket to give cash, but she had already took the bill too fast. When I asked her why are you showing people my receipt she said oh because I didn’t think you were going to tip me I said your tip is right there. The manager didn’t told me she didn’t know what to do with the receipt. What do you mean you don’t know what to do with the receipt you do what you do with all the rest of the receipts but I guess it was my skin color that didn’t get by I will never ever go to Franklyn 820 again in life to research for me in my own neighborhood where I was born and raised.
Great frozen daiquiri and margaritas, and solid food options too. The tater tots were fantastic last time I was here.
After spending the weekend visiting my dad at the hospital I needed to de-stress, plus I had a flight next morning. It was just around corner from where I was staying, wish I had found it sooner. Anyhow, the spicy smash burgerwas either absolutely Devine or I was starving but I'll go with Devine. I paired it with fries that I topped with cheddar and bacon, which let me say was a good helping of crispy bacon and it did not look like the prepackaged kind. Delicious. I was greedy and also had some wings, they were a spicy sweet kind can't remember the name because I had two alcoholic drinks by then that were also great. The one I enjoyed the most was called the Bee something, don't hate me for forgetting the name but it was Earl grey infused gin with honey and lemon and whatever, but it was nice. Let's say I found my way home very well after and I hope to return again in the future but with a date. Only downside I like to see what I'm paying for itemized on my bill, I don't like surprises but overall great experience.
I was greeted by a dog jumping all over me who a customer brought inside the venue thats basically a tiny whole in the wall… They had none of the “bar” food available in the midafternoon ie. chicken wings bone in or boneless or fried pickles.
Here you’ll have to seat yourself then walk to the bar side to order items…we were frustrated because the employee behind the counter forgot to bring our water to the table but not to ask for a card to start a tab like we were going to run out. Now this would have been ok if we actually ordered more than a single drink that was subpar and reeked of stale fruit zest

We had a pleasant time here enjoying some beers with good bar nosh. The bartender was friendly, helpful, and patient. The food was served hot and fast, and up to snuff; I had quality fish tacos. The fries and fried pickles were on point and we got seconds. The bathroom was clean and the crowd was easy going. Not sure why we waited so long to try a place so close to Franklin and Eastern. Laid back, chill, and easygoing.
