The Mint - Franklin

Odd little place. Looks cool from the outside. Inside it had more of a dive bar feel. That being said, the New Orleans style food was good. Hubby got etouffe and liked it. I got the tots with pulled bbq and pimento cheese. Bartender was super nice.

You can tell they know what they're doing with the cocktails they hand craft. The Bartender was hilarious as well

I'm a big fan of the Po'Boy dinner, but the pulled pork tots with pimento cheese is my #1 favorite. Staff is all knowledgeable and friendly. Best cocktails in town, no joke. Try the Classic Old Fashioned (unless you're one of those soda water people I won't judge). Bar itself holds a lot of history. It used to be the Elks. Lots of bar seating. A little calmer than other bars. A few tvs and jukebox. Second room is pretty quiet if you want a little more privacy for your group.

Was in town for work me and a buddy from work seen this place and went in. What we had was great. If I'm definitely in town again in this area I'm gonna come back.

Dropped by the night before Thanksgiving. Good drinks, friendly cheerful waitress, yummy food. Kinda a quiet time when we were there. Will be back to check the atmosphere when there’s more of a crowd.
