Not the greatest cocktail lounge I have been to. For some reason the owner hired a bunch of old bojacks employees. Lame and easily missed.Parking: Street parking is often full meaning you will park blocks away or right in front of someone else’s home.

LOVE everything about this place. Right atmosphere, right whiskey and bourbon selections, right price, and amazing Cajun/Creole food. The old fashioned is done right, one of the best I’ve ever had. Can’t forget the staff, either: We have always had prompt service that hits the mark every time.

This place is great! Awesome Cajun food, awesome whisky selection for reasonable prices, and awesome staff. The make the best old fashion in franklin.

Unfortunately, the service at this restaurant was incredibly disappointing. The staff was rude and inattentive, making diners feel unwelcome and undervalued. The servers seemed to lack knowledge about the menu, and their attitude suggested that they didn't care about providing a great dining experience. The food took an incredibly long time to arrive, and when it did, it was either cold or not prepared as requested. Any requests for changes were met with pushback, making the situation even more frustrating. The atmosphere was tense and uncomfortable, leaving diners feeling unsatisfied and unhappy. Overall, the poor service at this restaurant made it a poor dining experience that is best avoided.

The food is great. Cajun style dishes.the availability of almost any bourbon u Der the sun you want to try is outstanding.

Quite place to enjoy some drinks, just off of the main street, wish they had a few more draft selections, but other than that it's a cool place.

Wonderful bar with a great low key feel, and the best dirty martini I've ever had. Will be back!!

Food is from a secondary vendor that rents the kitchen. The menu was small, but the food was great. The drink selection is lariat a fair price for a 2 ounce pour.

This place is a total rip off. Slot machines are too tight and all they do is Take take take and let nobody win I would not recommend going to this place. I guess they are trying to pay for the hotel being built by taking everyone’s money.

The girls at the bar are AWESOME!! We went in for after dinner cocktails, and they did not disappoint... However, my husband, who does not drink was approached inside the bar by another patron that was either over served or high on something else, became a very uncomfortable situation...but no one seemed to think this was abnormal..to the point the drunk guy was still able to still be seated and served at the bar. He later approached another table to make another uncomfortable situation. If you are a local this may be ok, but if you're not it's definitely uncomfortable. Which is too bad because as I said the girls at the bar are AWESOME and can make an amazing cocktail!

Bar looks like something out of the 1970's. Very outdated. Staff is friendly. My cocktail was made correctly.

Thank you so much to the girls at the bar for making this a safe place for women again! A man who no longer works here (thank god) constantly treated me like a nuisance when he was more than happy to serve my boyfriend. Coming here tonight completely changed my viewpoint on the mint as a whole. They treated me so well and all of them deserve a giant raise! The food was absolutely delicious and I actually got served by my new friends unlike my previous experiences. They are worth absolute gold and I hope you are paying these girls what they are worth! Thank you for making amazing menu and staff changes.

This establishment didn't represent their showboat website or menu that was online . Friendly bartender , pourer, server and food was just so so. Won't be going back though. Menu was nothing like website claimed...disappointing.

Dropped by the night before Thanksgiving. Good drinks, friendly & cheerful waitress, yummy food. Kinda a quiet time when we were there. Will be back to check the atmosphere when there’s more of a crowd.

Visited on Thanksgiving Eve. Friendly wait staff, good drinks. Light crowd...would like to visit to see if it gets more hopping!
