Franklin Manor

Very chill atmosphere, especially during happy hour: 4 pm - 8 pm. There is something for everyone. If you want to grab a few drinks, talk and relax you can hang outside near the bar and open space...or go dancing in the club. The entire staff including the servers are super friendly and down to earth too!

Okay so I've come here several times but have never experienced a night like tonight. It was a date night with my wife but the highlight tonight was the bartender Jesse. He was absolutely amazing and made our night. He had an awesome character. He was attentive, knowledgeable, funny, and went above expectations. Most bartenders don't make time for you with a full bar but he checked on us very often and never missed a beat. The drinks were great and the food was delicious. We had a wonderful time along with the fantastic music in the background. This is such an awesome place time and time again. I thank Jesse for making it the most memorable one.

I absolutely love this place! We moved to Tampa about 3 weeks ago and this was the first place we checked out( it’s across the street why not) we loved it from day one! From the bartenders to the atmosphere! Absolutely a blast to come here! The food is amazing! The drinks are great! And how can you beat 4-8 happy hour daily! I love the live music and how I can watch the sunset from my balcony and be able to hear the cool live bands! Special shout outs to Allan, Melissa, Blair, Mikey, Miguel, Chris, Alissa, Dakota And honestly everyone has been wonderful! And nothing but hospitable! P.S for all those that live in our community and that complain about noise simple question: what did you expect living downtown to be? Quite? Come on now!

Nice bar with lots of space. Indoor is nice with small dance floor, big bar, stage for DJ and lots of high tables. Outside has more room but only bar and stage are covered. Looked like might be a good small concert venue. Has a food window but was closed because it was late. Lady bartender was attentive and actually tried to get MY attention to see if I wanted a drink. Then when I went inside for 15 minutes she remembered me and what I had and asked me if I wanted another when I came back. Only been here once but pleasant experience. Took off one star for parking. I was there Thursday but imagine in that area with all the other bars in the area the street and small lots are full to overflowing.

Awsome food, Cuban nachos and truffle fries are my favorite. A little pricy on the drinks unless you go during happy hour, but they all taste like top shelf. Great mix of college students and 30yr olds, and it seems classier than most places on Howard Avenue because of this, I've been numerous times and never observed any confrontations; they do get rid of the bar stools inside and out around 9pm for some reason.
