Went on a Saturday for college football and it was absolutely packed. Good deal on beers, food wasn't bad. The crowd is mostly college age to early 30's.
Kid-friendliness: They checked my ID on entering so assuming no kids.

We worked with Franklin Hall to host a happy hour as part of a work onsite and they were fantastic to work with and have a great space for gathering people together!

Bartenders couldn't get our orders right and acted like I was the problem for their mistakes. If they did get our orders correct, they gave attitude. Place was half empty; didn't matter.

Concrete floors and hard-surface walls/ceilings made this place LOUD. Great prices and service, college age crowd tryna get busy. Zero parking so take metro/cab. Just be aware is all.

I have been going to the bar to meet up with friends for years and I will say Mark is a great bartender. I was there recently and went up to an open section of the bar to grab a drink and the bartender after I said “hi”, the bartender said “yea” staring down at the payment system. I then asked him to close out my tab after ordering a drink and he simply walked away. I said “sir” and did not care to engage. I had to have a female bartender assist me. To be clear, this was not Mark and he must be somewhat new in the last year or so (African American male shorter than Mark).
I then was bumped by a patron by the seat I was hovering over who sat down and got in my face and said, “you bumped into me as you were walking by and this is my seat” when I was simply hovering over to grab a light beer. He then proceeded to mock me by name and I felt the need to take the high road.
What happened to the chill vibe and welcoming service of this place? How hard is it to train your employees to say hi? My friends were at Ivy and Coney before and had much better service and atmosphere - and I felt safe. I will reconsider if I go back there again.

Went here for the Arsenal game. Amazing beer deals and they were swamped but still able to provide bar service and food in a timely manner.
Franklin Hall is the perfect place to host a large event in DC! We had such a hard time finding a private place for a big group on a Friday night and are so grateful to have found Franklin Hall. We hosted about 150 guests for welcome drinks for our wedding weekend and it was perfect. Nate helped us figure out the best options for our party and all the staff were lovely and accommodating during the entire event. All our guests were raving about the event all weekend.

Franklin Hall is the absolute best! The manager Nate and team were so helpful and kind with helping me throw a 60+ person surprise party that was really important to me. We love the atmosphere, staff, food and drinks and location a ton. Huge fans of FH and will be back many many times!

Great spot to have a few drinks and enjoy a game. I went here during the Olympics and they were playing several of the events. The bartenders were friendly and helpful too! They had a great selection and some fantastic deals on feature brews. Food was pretty good too. Spacious interior with a lot of floor space. Overall, great place. Looking forward to going back
