Where It Started
15 Years of Cocktail Creations
The history of the bar dates back to 2009. Named after the largest alcohol ring in the country during Prohibition, The Franklin Mortgage & Investment Co. first opened its doors just around the corner from where it sits now—quickly becoming a local hotspot for insane cocktail creations and late-night escapades. After a brief hiatus, the bar reopened in 2022 in a new location, inside The Franklin Hotel on Rittenhouse Square. Continuing to deliver daring cocktails, The Franklin Mortgage & Investment Co. is ready to welcome friends old and new, just beyond the red door.
