The Pond

Great little local dive bar in an old strip mall. Our first time here and they had three different bands that played in consecutive sets, and there was no cover charge, which was fantastic! I'm glad this place is smoke free, but for those who need to smoke they have a deck out back. The bartender was great, and the vibe overall is very chill and pretty cool with all the draft beer handles hanging from the ceiling. They have a very limited menu, but it's good that you can get something to nibble on to accompany your drink. There are not a lot of tables, but when we got there there were a couple open so we did not have a problem. People they came in later had to stand, but they didn't seem to mind at all.

Myles is the best, he is so sexy and so cool… Also like the other gal who is a little bit alternative. Love the vibe and it was a great surprise traveling here from out-of-state.

Had a great night out with a friend on a Sunday night. The place is everything you want in a dive bar. Funky, eclectic with a super friendly bartender and colorful regulars. The drinks were good and the atmosphere was great.

This is one of those lovable "dive bars" that the locals know about, but someone forgot to tell me. All is forgiven though. When you have a rough day and find a place at 1 am to have some drinks until 3 that is great. But I found the regulars friendly and welcoming, which tells me that it probably is like this every night. I'll be back to hear some music (perhaps even to play... seems a rock-friendly place), and I'm sure I'll have more to report. Now, how do you rate a bar like this? You know what you are going to get, right? Limited selection, loud music, sound of laughter... If that's not for you than a bar in a strip mall may not be for you.

it's a really cool place. We got the tenders and fries, the fries were amazing. Prinn was our bartender really friendly.

This little bar/venue's atmosphere is just right. It's not too crowded, and not so big that it felt cavernous. There is also a nice patio out back. The crowd was laid back and the vibe was good. The 3 bands I heard all sounded great. Dead Martinis killed their set! I had to travel a ways from north of Nashville to make it here, and it was well worth it. I will be back for sure.

Love this little dive bar when im in franklin. Theu treat me well everytime i go.

I've been going to this bar regularly for the majority of its existence, and there's not another place in Franklin like it. The bartenders are always friendly and treat people like friends, not just customers. The regulars are like family, and I've met some of my best friends here. If you're nice and want to get along with a great group of people, everyone here will make you feel like you fit right in. They also make a great burger and fries!
