“What a fun place. A great neighborhood local bar. The owners treat you well and the bartenders made sure your glass is never empty. Great evening with a group of friends and listen to the entertainment. I look forward to going back soon.Derek D.“
“This place should be on "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives". Fun dive bar with PHENOMENAL food! From Prime Rib to baked stuffed shrimp to lamb chops, everything Chef Aaron puts out is truly impressive. Check out their weekly specials on their Facebook page. As far as the bar goes...great drinks at really great prices. The bar staff is pretty cool too!“
“True Score: 4.25 Dive Bar StarsNew FavoriteOddly we were at a bar in Franklin, Ma and started to talk to few patrons. One of them suggested that we hang out later in the night at this place called the ETC Lounge. We were skeptical, however we frequent hole in wall spots so off we go.Needless to say we've been back several times. A great affordable dive bar with nice clientele. Everyone is very welcoming to us. The owner Sally is trip and our favorite bartender Nancy treats us like gold. Shout out to patrons Kevin and Carol (she introduced us to the place). Tip: This place can get loud and rowdy late night, all safe and fun though. Tip 2: This place is in back parking lot and you definitely could drive right by it. Keep an eye out. Overall, affordable drinks, loud friendly crowd, and an extremely generous owner. A new regular spot for us. Thanks“
“What a great place for this Irish girl to have traditional Cape Verdean dinner. Everyone was so welcoming and the food was out of this world. My husband could read the menu in Creole and I got to read it in English. If you like to try traditional means and great drinks This is the place for you“
“Look, I'm not a drinker, but if I were, this would be a place for me. My band played there a couple times and man oh man, the place is amazing. It's not where you go to see crazy lights and music so loud that your ears ring, its like cheers“
“This place is better than it seems like it should be, if that makes sense. The first time we went it was a Monday night and our son was turning 21 at midnight and nothing else was open. Walking in at just after 11:30 to a group of somewhat rough looking regulars might have turned us around, but again, nothing else open. We told the bartender why we were there and to make sure he'd be OK serving him (MA has weird laws sometimes) and was assured no problem. At midnight, he had shots lined up for us, did a countdown, and then the whole bar (10 people maybe?) sang Happy Birthday. At one point the owner, hearing it was someone's birthday, came out with a cupcake and a birthday seat cover. How incredibly nice for non-regular randoms who came in late on a Monday night. A great reminder not to judge a book by its cover. In this case, both the bar and the patrons. We stayed until closing to play games and talk to some of the folks at the bar. It was a great experience. We've been back since to and every experience has been great. We played some darts and enjoyed some mixed drinks just last night and found, again, great bartenders and patrons. If you remember you're going to a dive bar, where every now and again the regular is going to get served before you and the food is "good enough", you'll have a great time. The most important part, the drinks, are always A+.“
“Nice neighborhood hangout. The staff make you very comfortable and make sure you feel like you are not an outsider an part of the family. By the time you leave you would never know it was your first time in there. Love it and made it my home.... thanks for the love..“
