A Franklin favorite for more than 20 years

The Pond has been a Franklin favorite for more than 20 years. Known for friendly service, cold drinks, delicious food, live music, karaoke and one of the most unique interiors you’ll ever see, The Pond is where locals gather and visitors quickly feel at home.

Open now — open until 3:00 AM

Twenty-one and over. Non-smoking inside; smoking is permitted on the patio.

Sports and music collectibles, no pretension

Sports and music collectibles cover the walls, tap handles of every shape and every brewery fill the ceiling, and the atmosphere stays relaxed and free of pretension. The Pond has become one of Franklin’s most recognizable gathering spots.

Always a friendly face

Whether you’re stopping by to watch the game, sing karaoke, hear a local band, or simply grab a snack and enjoy a drink with friends on the patio, you’ll always find a friendly face waiting for you. Weekends and big game nights get busy, so it can take a little while to find a spot — worth knowing before you head out.

The kind of place where strangers become regulars!
