We really enjoyed the service and quality and creativity of the drinks, but the atmosphere could use some warmth/femininity to balance the hard black marble decor, and the restroom needed to be cleaned.

Had an engagement party for our daughter and (future) son-in-law last week - full buy-out. Staff was great. Mike and bartenders Billy, Nico and especially Jess. Before the party Jess experimented a bit and came up with a great cocktail combo: equal parts Green Chartreuse, Fernet Branca, and Averna Amaro. Thinking about it during the week, and with help from a friend, we came up with a name for it: Emerald Abyss. Maybe we’ll see it on your menu sometime soon? Keep up the great work!

Such a nice atmosphere! The hidden entrance in the hotel made it feel even more like a secret. Definitely a great stop if you’re looking for a relaxed night in philly, with great cocktails of course!

This is a wonderful bar just off the square. I didn’t know it was available for a private function until my kids suggested it.

We did a buyout of Franklin Mortgage last night for our kids engagement party. The staff were wonderful during the setup and though out the night. They were able to get us everything we needed and made sure we as the hosts had all that we needed. If you are looking for a party space for 100 people or less this is a fun and beautiful place to host a party this should be your first choice.

The drinks are inventive and they created some custom cocktails for us. In addition, they had plenty of novel cocktails of their own to choose from.

We were able to bring our own food in to customize the experience.

We will be back to enjoy Franklin mortgage for a date night soon and recommending it to everyone.

We had a great experience here. We assumed we can just walk in and sit at the bar for a drink. This was not the case. They did however accommodate us and gave us a table that was reserved, which was perfect since we only wanted to have a drink before our dinner reservations. The old fashioned might be one of the best I have had and they gave us shots when we got our check.

Such a fun vibe and amazing, creative drinks. Our server was so sweet and helpful in following up on our questions. Would definitely recommend!

New space was nice however experience was lack luster. Brought coworkers from out of town, very disappointed. Half the menu was crossed out because they were out and the menu was smaller than before. Staff was friendly but only one bartender working, took 45 minutes to get our drinks. Would have been better off being closed for the night than trying to stay open for a poor experience. Really sad because the old place was one of my favorite spots and best drinks I’ve ever had. The drinks last night were sub par and not to the standard I would expect. Will not be going back or offering as a recommendation.

Went with a group of friends here for my birthday and had the best time ever. They went over the top, above and beyond to help us celebrate and I’m not exaggerating - to the point where they make you feel like you’re the only person on earth with a birthday. The drinks and snacks, the atmosphere, the extremely kind and attentive staff - all of it exceeded expectations. I took a chance picking a place I’d never been to before for the occasion but it certainly won’t be my last time and I’ve been recommending it to everyone.

I was trying to enjoy my time but i overheard a group of employees saying horrible things about another employee. totally unprofessional and distasteful. never want to give business to grown men who make fun of other people. embarrassing honestly that your employees make this place uncomfortable.

Couldn’t wait to come here but so disappointed. Came with my girlfriends for cocktails and was served drinks that wouldn’t pass as cocktails in a dive bar. We asked the waitress for recommendations and she had to look it up in her notepad. Normally I’d appreciate the attention to detail but the only detail that she provided was that it was dark and persimmon tasting so my friend ordered the self made monster, and it tasted like rubbing alcohol and was a clear gin based drink. My other friend ordered everything she wants and it tasted like cardamom water. I’m not sure how the cardamom water masked the mezcal and tequila but couldn’t taste a drop. I ordered the marigold which was a decent cocktail so I was lucky.

Bartenders were lovely, drinks were fantastic, vibes were immaculate! The bartenders in particular were happy to discuss the making process of each cocktail. Tourist friendly but in an intimate and chill way.
