Sat outside. Perfect weather for lunch. Food delicious as always. Had hush puppies as appetizer for the table. First time trying. Excellent. My favorite for main course, the fish and chips. Delicious as always. Highly recommend Franny's anytime.

This speakeasy is a hidden gem in Louisville, featuring a unique and cozy atmosphere that feels like stepping into another world. It has a hidden entrance and a private library area upstairs, creating an exclusive dining experience. The drinks are delicious, with a nice selection of unique cocktails, and the House of Orange cocktail is particularly noteworthy. While the drinks can be a bit pricey, they are well prepared and fun to enjoy. The staff are super friendly, personable, and knowledgeable about the drinks, offering great recommendations. Live jazz enhances the cozy vibe on Wednesdays, making it a relaxing place to unwind. Customers can also rent semi-private rooms for parties of 2-4, adding to the intimate experience. Although the service can be a bit slow at times, the overall atmosphere and company make for a great evening.
