We enjoyed the bar atmosphere. Sitting by the giant open window on a lovely summer evening was delightful. The staff was very friendly, but inattentive despite it maybe being one third full. The smoked meat sandwich was delicious, & raised it up to a 3 star food rating overall. My family did not enjoy the steamed (a Montreal thing) classic hot dogs, nor the undercooked corn dog, & gave their food a 2 out of 5. However, sold a Montreal style hot dog is your thing, it could be good. I still can't recommend the corn dog. The fries were fine. The fried pickles & remoulade were decent, if not remarkable. The fried mozzarella sticks were good & included salsa. It's a strange inclusion if you are American & used to marinara, but it kind of works.

Awesome bar in Old Montreal. Came in to catch some World Cup while on vacation & loved the food, drinks, & vibe. Best poutine of our trip as well.

Franklin's was recommend to me at another bar for the good vibes & good food when you're enjoying the nightlife in Old Montreal. It lived up to the recommendation as the food was great & the vibes were amazing! The mesh of fun & retro styles works so well, making Franklin's welcoming & wonderful to spend a few hours drinking & eating.

Our server Kevin was amazing & so accommodating as he dealt with the busy bar on a Saturday night during a playoff game! He gave great drink recommendations & made sure we were taken care of & made sure we had everything we needed/wanted! He was so incredible as we watched the chaos of a night while in Montreal.

I completely recommend going when you're around Old Montreal anytime during the day but night especially! Great drunk food, amazing staff & generally wonderful vibes from Franklins!

Awesome bar for drinks & hockey nights. Theo was an absolute rockstar - He was attentive, upbeat, made the whole experience even better. Hands?down one of the best servers we've had.

Nothing fancy, but a fun, small place. We visited during the May 2026 long weekend on a hockey game night. That was fun!

The smoked meat sandwich was very good & it had a lot of meat. Tried their Philly cheesesteak & it was ok, very heavy for my taste, but my partner liked it. Also had the fried onion rings & it was a very big portion. Heavy deep fried too, couldn't finish it all.
Overall, it was a fun experience, decent prices for both food & drinks. Like what you'd expect in a non-fancy sports bar.
We'd come back!
