There is a soft opening of The Franklin on Thursday.  I am almost a little hesitant to post anything about it here, because it only fits about 50 people and there's been a lot of buzz going on about it.  

I'm very excited about this.  The more places with real cocktails and not just cosmos and dirty martinis, the better!

Here's what the City Paper had to say about it: http://mealticket.blog...

Here's the yelp listing so you can review it when you get home! http://www.yelp.com/bi...

See you there !

   Part of me is really excited to check it out, but even though I enjoy well mixed drinks, they tend to be too pricey for me.

   Im confused. The Franklin is the Franklin Institute. Mortgage and Investment Co sounds like a bank. Yet this is a bar?

   Yeah, its a new mixology bar being opened by the same people behind NYC's "Death and Co".  Apparently it was named after a mob bank in philly during the depression.

   I'm excited about this place.  There were rumors about password-required entry but it turned out to be false.  I'm interested to read the reviews after Thursday.

   I'm off tomorrow, might pop in to check it out.  I can be a control subject, as someone who hasn't been to APO or Death & Co.  Know what time they kick off?

    well due to issues with leaky ceilings or walls or something the soft opening is pushed back til Monday.  I went to Noble instead and loved it.

    Won't someone use the phrase "cocktail culture" so I can get unreasonably annoyed?
