We have walked past her so many times so we decided to pop in for a drink. We visited on a Saturday evening and it was about half full. The staff were very friendly but looked a little bored as they were on their phones. Nice small selection of drinks and a lovely looking cold ham and cheese counter, which I would like to visit again and sample. It's quite a small, intimate venue with additional street seating. Very faint background music was playing which added to the calm environment. A pint and a medium wine for £10.60 is about standard these days. Overall, quite a nice place and we will be back.
A group of friends went for a birthday celebration and it was amazing! The food my friends ate looked and smelled amazing! The moaning and contented smiles was enough to let me know the food was GOOD! With food allergies I decided not to risk it, but I did splash out and have a cocktail or two. They were happy to slightly alter the cocktail so I didn't have chilli in it (as I have an intolerance to it). But it was so tasty! And I rarely can have cocktails so this was amazing! The cocktail I had was the Passionfruit margarita (minus the chilli) & I barely have any photos because I drank them so fast! Tart but tasty!
Lively bar, great atmosphere! We had a selection of food as part of a large group, including baked Camembert, pizza and cheese boards! Was amazing! We had been to see a show so was really handy as right nearby. It was busy though so I would recommend booking, tables can be reserved. Would definitely recommend.
Had a great meal there, staff were lovely, really enjoyed a family meal together
Dressed to impress. John Franklin’s is A deli, cocktail bar, cafe and lounge with an outpouring of class.
Visited twice now and there’s a lovely atmosphere, great wine selection and the cheese boards are amazing! Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a nice chilled evening where you can actually have a conversation with a relaxed vibe. Will continue to come back :)
Good coffee, which was all we went for that morning.
Staff friendly and the place was clean.
The food looks interesting, so we may return for some.
Pleasant theatre bar food. Best time to visit is after the performance has started.
Lovely place, bit posh and a little expensive drink wise, but would definitely recommend
John Franklin's is a fantastic little destination location, always great service and it's such a unique place, great drinks and with that something special with their food offering.
A great place for a business meeting, casual catch up, or a good evening out!
Not been back for a while, but still a lovely place to go, and still with a great beer selection!
