Book NowAbout Franklin's Bar
Franklin's Bar delivers Thornbury's coziest low-lit retreat, pairing crisp Negronis and wood-fired pizza with an easy neighborhood pulse. Inside, booth seating and a winter fireplace set a relaxed tempo for quiet late-night drinks or casual dates. Out back, heat lamps warm the rear beer garden—a go-to enclave for effortless milestone gatherings and courtyard parties. Longtime regulars lean toward the pandan foam cocktails while the kitchen keeps pizza rounds coming until close.
- Heated Courtyard Garden: Tucked away with heat lamps for all-weather private hire and group catch-ups.
- Fireside Booth Seating: Dim booth seating and an indoor hearth create a relaxed, unhurried winter hideaway.
- Craft Cocktails & Late-Night Pizza: Classic Negronis and house originals like pandan foam drinks, poured late alongside fresh pizza.
