Nice spot, wasn’t crowded on a Saturday night, which was nice. Was able to chat with my friend without feeling like we needed to leave early or talk loudly to hear one another. They have a lot of cocktail options, but I stuck to NA seltzer. The hummus was good and nice to share.
My name is Francis and I had a great time at Bar Francis. Even the zero proof mocktails are great. Anyway really love the captions, love a bar with attitude
Just enough speakeasy to be the real deal. Incredible cocktails and some excellent bites. Great atmosphere. Not sure what more you could want. It gets a bit crowded sometimes and you may have to wait.
