The ice was crystal clear, check out the pictures! It made an already excellent Old Fashioned absolutely perfect. We also tried a variety of food, including the soft pretzel bites, artichoke dip with chips, and Loaded Brisket skins. Everything was flavorful and hit the spot. Our server was amazing!

The Pond is a self described dive bar located in a strip mall area in Franklin Tennessee…read more I like to patronize places that aren't chains and aren't super popular spots when I travel, as I enjoy being around common folks in areas that I go to. The Pond doesn't disappoint. It is exactly what one would expect when seeking a dive bar atmosphere. A little ratty, a little rowdy and a whole lot of fun. The coup de grace was they had Guinness on tap, which was completely unexpected. We traveled to Franklin looking for an alternative to Broadway in Nashville on our first night in town. It is worth the trip. Franklin is a very old town with great old architecture and buildings over 200 years old that still look stunning. The Pond was the real reason for my drive down although it was our last stop on our tour of Franklin. The staff was friendly, the Hamburger and fries was delicious, and the beer was cold. They have many options to choose from on tap. They have Darts inside and a couch you'd find down in your friends basement that he found on a tree bank trash day, but that simply adds to the dive bar charm. We stayed for one drink and the burger as we were exhausted from a red eye flight the night before. If you're looking for a dive bar that stays open late and apparently gets packed as the night goes on, this is the spot for you. Most places close early in Franklin, so this is apparently the after hours spot that everyone ends up going to when all other options are closed. The Pond reminded me of a few dive bar spots in Vegas, and I have to recommend you pay them a visit, if for no other reason, just to say you've been there.

I ordered a flatbread and they killed it. Like overcooked. Dried out. Hard. I have broken my teeth before eating out before and i had to give up and just pick topping off with a fork. This place was highly recommended but i just wasn't impressed. Too many places serve pizza anymore. I'll pass on a second trip to this place.

The asparagus was done just right. Overall very nice place for a date or taking clients out.

We were trying to flag her down for 10 minutes while it almost seemed like she was deliberately avoiding looking over; even the one time she glanced over while I was waving, nothing happened. Awkwardly, I had to walk over to the counter to place my order, and while I was there, I even told her a couple of people at my table were ready to order as well, but she did not visit the table once... It even got to the point where my colleagues decided to go elsewhere. However, since I already ordered and I didn't want to cancel, I decided to stay behind, which I missed out on a few important company tidbits that were discussed at the other restaurant.

My sister ordered the crawfish étouffée, which was well-seasoned with just the right amount of kick. It came with plenty of rice and crawfish, making it a hearty and satisfying dish. I ordered the shrimp wedge salad, and they definitely did not skimp on the shrimp! The blackened shrimp was perfectly seasoned and paired wonderfully with the bleu cheese dressing. A nice surprise was the bacon--not crumbled on top, but two large slices that added great flavor and texture. We also enjoyed a couple of cocktails. I ordered the Flower Drop, which was recommended by the bartender, and it was absolutely delicious. My sister chose the Golden Hour, which was a bit more spirit-forward compared to my drink but still very enjoyable. Overall, everything was flavorful, the portions were generous, and the service was great. Ambiance low key which I love and family friendly as it's set in the Factory! I'll definitely be back!
