Cocktail Bars near Franklin

“Just a great place to go and have a drink and relax.“

“One of the best bars in the area. All the drinks are great, you can’t go wrong. Just order what you like and they’ll make one of the best you’ve had. They change their menu about quarterly and have really unique drinks. Great old fashioneds! They also frequently have food, but check their Facebook page to see what’s happening.“

“Great quality tequila for all the fantasic house cocktails!!“

“Loved my 1st visit to Bryant’s!! Old school neighborhood cocktail bar with fantastic service, vibe, great bartenders and cocktails crafted to fit your interests and tastes. Back in time with low lighting, vintage sound system and good ole cash registers. Don’t miss Bryant’s, a true one of a kind!!“

“The atmosphere is amazing, drinks are wonderful and it’s an all around vibe.“

“We dropped in for their Christmas pop-up.
They really take it to the next level! We had to wait in a small entryway for about 15 minutes before we snagged a table. Highly recommend getting there early for the Christmas pop-up.

It was worth the wait! The drinks were perfectly crafted and the decorations had me in awe.“

“A little late to post but I threw a surprise birthday party for my husband in February at Charmbiance. They were so easy to work with and very reasonably priced for 50-60 people or so. They let a few people come in early to decorate the place and food was served on time and was exactly what we talked about. Would highly recommend this place for your next gathering. 10/10“

“Great cocktails and beer, cozy vibes, and a cute outdoor patio. Dog-friendly inside and out! They also do a deal on Mondays where you get a dollar off your drinks if you bring a book. Lots of non-alcoholic, THC, and gluten-free options. They have a couple snacks, but allow you to bring in food from neighboring restaurants.“

“Lost Whale is a Bay View Staple when it comes to the bar scene! It's a fantastic cocktail bar with some of the best drinks in the City of Milwaukee! Between the backyard patio and the cozy bar, there is never a time of year you can't be comfortable here! The staff & bartenders are incredibly nice and fun to hang out with. Lost Whale also now has a resident food truck in the back to keep you full while hanging out!

Lost Whale also let us rent the bar out for a night so we could host our engagement part there! I would be willing to bet that every single person we invited had one of the best nights of their life!

Regardless if you are a local or visiting Milwaukee, Lost Whale should be a bar that's on your MUST VISIT list!“

“I took my dad out here for Father's Day at his request. We had a very nice time. The beer selection was lovely. The lady at the bar was very nice. I think for a chill summer Sunday afternoon on the outdoor patio, it was really sweet. It's true the bathrooms are co-ed but I had encountered this in Frankfurt Germany so I wasn't fazed, but the one I went in had 1 stall and a urinal outside the stall with no privacy so be prepared for that (I didn't see if you can lock the door once you're in there for more privacy).“

“First time there! Had a great time! Was there for the whole afternoon! Such a good time! The owner takes pride in his Bloody Mary's 🙂 The bartender, Lexi, was awesome! Thanks for a great day!“

“I've never been to Milwaukee. I asked where I could get a true Milwaukee meal experience and was directed to The Vanguard. it was fantastic and Kelly was an absolute gem of a person.“

“A nice taste of Milwaukee. Right on the lake, good non expensive drinks, local food trucks and dog friendly! The music is a bit loud at times so not ideal to sit inside if you want to have an intimate convo. However, the lakeside seating and the patio were tranquil.“

“Great atmosphere and amazing friendly staff. Owner Ben makes sure you have a great experience!“

“Stopped at potawatomi for the first time and not being much of a gambler I stopped at bar 360 to have a drink and just get a view of the whole scenery and I'm glad I did the vibe is very cool with plenty of blue lighting that gives the whole place a nightclub vibe and they were playing good music plus the prices we're not very high like I expected and they even head drink specials which we both enjoyed and overall after doing little gambling it was definitely the best part of our visit plus the bartender was awesome and provided great service so if you're looking to take a break before gambling all your money away definitely do it at bar 360 it's right in the middle of the place you can't miss it lol.“

“Very good food, great service. Drove 45 mins out of my way to try this place, will be back!“

“Was my first time here and I will definitely be back! My friend and I only stopped in for appetizers and some sake but the service, atmosphere, and food was absolutely amazing. Looking forward to coming back for a more intimate occasion.“

“Great food, staff is very nice.“

“Excellent Italian apricot pastry and espresso.“

“OMG! Tied house is my new favorite place. The drinks are literally homemade and they taste amazing. The patio is one of the most beautiful in Milwaukee and don’t get me started on the service. Adam and Ava were so friendly and welcoming. Shiloh made the drinks this evening and I could’ve literally ordered the whole menu. Can’t wait to come back 😊“

“Stopped in for an afternoon coffee. It was fresh and flavorful. My fiancé had the espresso martini and she said they were incredible.“

“We ended up here unexpectedly last night due to the torrential rainfall and ended up staying much later than we intended. We had difficulty getting a ride home due to the weather and the bartender was so kind and accommodating to us even though he was trying to clean up for the night. The drinks were great and the service went beyond expectations.“

“Great food & customer service“

“an amazing dining experience! food and wine list on point, and the atmosphere is amazing! 10 out of 10 would recommend!“

“All you can eat sushi? C'mon! Who can say "no" to that!? And it's good too!“

“If I lived in Milwaukee, I'd eat there all the time. Loved the eggplant.“

“A neighborhood bar that tries and comes out on top. Other bars just exist but this place keeps it going.. Its got great food and Pool tables and more than just the water'd beer and rail shots behind the bar. Cider and seltser selection is a little different too“

“This is like any neighborhood bar, with a lot of locals and other nice people! The bartenders are always friendly and have lots of tables for small groups to gather to have fun! They don't serve food though, only frozen pizza and salty snacks!

Parking: They have a parking lot and if it's full, there is also street parking!“

“Great service - Cameron took excellent care of us!“

“Went with some family for lunch and let’s just say the hype is real!

Went with the Burger of the Week:
two wagyu patties, grilled onions, beer cheese, pickles, bacon

Steak Burrito - Cali Style
carne asada steak, white cheddar, pico, guac, sour cream, fries, aji verde sauce, grilled flour tortilla

Cheese curds & fries on the side

Need to get back ASAP!“

“Leaky Leek with the customer service is the best thing that happened to bartender since the ‘99 and 2000’s. If you haven’t stopped into Wall Street Stock Bar (WSTB) on 219 south 2nd street, you’ve done yourself a disservice of experiencing an extraordinary service of a mixologist that can eyeball a perfect taste that will breathe soul & life to the most simple drink that you’ve previously tasted.“

“I love this dog friendly bar so much!! Great vibe and great bartenders!!! Super great Dave, Jennifer and Joe!!“

“Delicious boozy slushies to go! Unfortunately there is only one worker, so a nice day with a busy deer district can make the line extremely long. If you live in the area, I highly recommend getting the yard dog and saving the glass for only $12 refills for a life time!“

“Great food and service! There are lots of options at different price points, so there is something for everyone!“

“Great food.. awesome people.. family friendly atmosphere 💕💕💕“

“Such a fantastic place! Great food, everything was so delicious. Fresh tortilla chips, the best I have had. Beautiful decor. Bright and lively atmosphere. Fresh breezes flow inside on nice days with sliding doors open. Cute patio. Conveniently located. Awesome staff. Definitely a favorite to come back to. Thank you Pattie!“

“The blue cheese coleslaw was amazing! I got a side of mac n cheese because it sounded so good on the menu. Sadly, it was just a bowl of dry, tasteless pasta with raw bell pepper chunks sprinkled on top. So disappointing. Everything else was good. The service was great. Def check it out but Id avoid the mac n cheese unless you like plain cooked noodles.“

“China Dragon is the best Chinese food I've ever had in my life and I can say I've been all over Wisconsin New York Omaha you name it I had the orange chicken and wasn't dry it was hot and had a little spice to it they put loving and you can taste the onions the green peppers the broccoli which I didn't think they would put in and it taste like it was smoked on the grill is this is an amazing place it's I don't even want to give you the secret out cuz it's that great they deserve 5 Stars they put love into their product they make and it's the best place I'm glad I found it I will be going there all the time amazing five stars for sure.“

“The lavender margarita is amazing for summer!! Also Joey was super kind, and great service!“

“I have been going here for years. The fish fry is EXCELLENT and I have NEVER been disappointed. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!“

“my husband and I went there tonight for his birthday. the food was really good but I want to brag about Robert our server. He is the best server I have experienced in a long time. we never once had to flag him down to refill our soda. If we blinked we would miss him putting a fresh basket of bread out for us. Our empty plates never sat on our table for long before Robert walked by and swooped them up. kudos to Bravo! for hiring Robert. I would definitely come back if I was guaranteed him as my server. Robert thanks you so much for the excellent service you provided, and I hope we left you a great tip, you truly deserve it“
