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.

The food was excellent across the board, but the wings were definitely a standout--absolutely awesome. What truly made our experience great, though, was the service. A special thank you to Nash (love the name--named after the city, just cut short!) for taking such wonderful care of us.

I went specifically to watch the Steelers game, and I was really disappointed with the experience…read more I thought this used to be a Steelers bar?, so I was surprised by how poorly they accommodated the number of Steelers fans there. The front room was packed, so I went to the back bar, which was completely empty when I arrived. I sat down in my Steelers jersey, and the bartender put a drink menu directly over the crumbs and mess left from the previous customer without wiping down the bar. She also never mentioned that I wasn't sitting near a TV showing the Steelers game. I didn't realize the TVs were labeled by game until the bar had started filling up. By that point, roughly 30 of the 40 people in the room were Steelers fans, yet there was only ONE TV showing the game. I completely understand not changing a TV if someone is watching another game, but there were multiple TVs directly in front of us showing games that NOT ONE person was watching. We asked if they could switch one and were told no. Then, right after the first period, the ONE TV showing the Steelers game lost signal. They turned it off and back on, that didn't fix it, and they basically gave up. We again asked if they could put the game on one of the other TVs that no one was watching and were still told no. Everyone at the bar was frustrated and unhappy. The service wasn't much better. The bartender was inattentive, I was never offered a food menu even though people around me were, and no one told me about the 2-for-1 drink special before I ordered. To top it off, my nachos came out burnt to hell. I ended up leaving without even drinking my second drink. They did nothing to accommodate any of us (not just me, but the 75% of the room who were Steelers fans). I'll never take my business here again.

I made this place a Yelp page because HOLLA, y'all gotta know about it!!…read more For the locals to the area, Deep South Growlers took the open place in Lenox Village where Menchie's used to reside - right on the corner of Lenox Village Drive. I work a few doors down and had been passing by this place every day, telling my husband, "I heard it's a new beer place! They have growlers! Let's go!!!" So, go we did, a few nights ago. And they have totally transformed this place. I never liked frozen yogurt anyway, and when you replace it with beer? Yes please! The interior is comfy and stylish, with modern chairs, tables, and couches, and a gorgeous huge bar smack dab in the middle of the room. They have rotating beers on tap - TONS of them - as well as some epic ciders and amazing non-alcoholic choices. Great selection, and they update their Facebook almost nightly, letting you know about specials and sharing a photo of the current "menu" - a huge chalkboard display behind the bar, where they write in current beers and ciders on tap. They have growlers to take home, and samplers (4 beers to a sampler) if you just want to try some different stuff. We didn't ask about food, so not sure if they have any - we'll definitely find out next visit! Lovely bartender was friendly as can be and answered any and all questions we had. They also have an outdoor patio area where you can sit outside, if it's nice out! We live 5 minutes down the road, and I see this becoming our new "spot." Prost, Deep South Growlers!
