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!

Excellent drinks & food, smoked meat was fatty which we loved, as it's brisket & it's gotta have that jiggle. Would definitely return.

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!

Phenomenal atmosphere, food, & vibes. The smash burger was so good I couldn't get a photo before it was finished & the wings were cooked perfectly. This place is a hidden gem. Great drinks & the servers, bartender, & manager will give great service & recommendations for local spots. Best smash burger in Montreal from someone who is very picky on burgers.
