Franklin Bar & Restaurant

About Franklin Bar & Restaurant

A bar-cum-restaurant in an old Ford showroom (c. 1923) wedged between the former home of Hobart’s Mercury newspaper and a car park. Once you’ve found the door (hot tip: it’s on Argyle Street, not Macquarie), pull up a pew at the concrete bar or find yourself a table. Be entertained by the usual stuff , drinking and being merry, or go nuts: press your cheek against the concrete floors, smell the roses* in our indoor garden, stroke a hide, or just watch the staff.
