The Franklin Tap: Reviews & Ratings
Good food. Service was friendly & efficient. Large menu & big beer list. I had the turkey panini. It was excellent
Been to Franklin Tap for a couple work happy hours, but finally came for lunch and was thoroughly surprised by the food! I ordered the crispy chicken wrap with fries, which was really good! Restaurant also has a fairly large beer list. Patio and indoor space are both nice and the service is always accommodating to large groups.
Came here for happy hour with a friend on a Friday. Not a whole lot to say; it's in a good location and easy enough to find. Their happy hour specials were nice, we both got a pumpkin beer (this was in the fall, so pumpkin beers were seasonally-appropriate). We also got the pretzels and cheese curds to split, both were good though maybe a little on the small side for sharing. Service was good, our server checked in on us as needed for refills and was clear about communicating when her shift was done and she was handing us off to someone else (which I have no issue with). The ambiance is fine, it's your standard tap/bar décor, so nothing special but nothing to complain about. I'd be back for another happy hour.
We found this spot while waiting on our Skydeck appointment as it was just a short walk away for a quick sip! They had great specials on the drinks and the service was superb (Ashley). We had the Mimosa ($5) and an nice IPA (old Irving...I think $7). The drinks were good and cheap so we came back and enjoyed more sips and the outside patio area.
Franklin Tap is a classic Happy Hour destination in Chicago Loop. All Day specials daily. Solid selection of beer, wine, cider, & cocktails. Enjoyed local Virtue Cider Michigan Cherry Buffalo cauliflower was a huge portion and made it feel worth the $15. Attentive service, hopping but can still have a conversation without shouting to hear each other.
Good pub food at a descent price. There is a good selection of rotating beers on tap as well as a full bar. The walls are lined with the taps of beers that have previously been served there. The service can be hit or miss
