Franklin

Franklin, a historic town just south of Nashville known for its Civil War history and charming downtown square, has a bar scene led by sports bars and classic bars - BarFinder lists 60 venues here, with a real wine and winery presence alongside them. Local spots like Benchmark Sports Pub + Eatery and Mantra Artisan Ales cover the casual and craft-beer sides, while Arrington Winery (co-founded by country star Kix Brooks) and Germano Wine Cellars reflect the area's wine-country pull just outside Nashville. Amendment XVIII Cocktail Club adds a dose of craft-cocktail polish to round things out.
