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.

This place is everything I was hoping it would be. It goes to prove that locally owned Divis type…read morebars are timeless and transcend culture. This place reminds me of the bar I put myself through collagen in Los Angeles, California. Isn't that crazy same awesome benefits of the small independently owned bar, even when the culture is different. oh, and they have the best pool tables in the area.

Back in the day, this might be called a honky tonk. It is a dive bar that caters to the locals but…read moreeveryone is welcome. Pool tables, a place for a band, dance floor and indoor smoking allowed. The food menu is typical bar food, decent enough but nothing that will make the Michelin guide. The food is designed to delay the effects of the alcohol you consume. So why five stars? These places are few and far between. Everyone knows everyone and they know what to expect when they come here. This is the local bar where you go see friends. No drama, no fake ambiance. I love these types of establishments. Oh, and they have motorcycle parking. That alone is worth 4 stars.

On New Year's Eve 2017 I was playing pool at about 15 minutes till close. One of the employees came…read moreto the pool table and said we had to stop and leave, before closing time. I then walked to the bar to pay my tab and asked the bartender Star why my game was stopped and I alone was asked to leave early. Then the employee that stopped my game grabbed me and forced me out of the building saying "it's time for you to go". I wasn't causing any trouble ever and was just asking a question. That was actually assault and battery from that employee on me. Then they lie and said I was asked many times to leave. The owner said he would look at the video but we all know that video will get erased by them because it shows the truth, and they can't have that.

$5 cover. They are open Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights…read more I got in, selected a table and ordered a beer. It was a hot night, so it didn't take long for me to finish my 1st drink. Then I waited, and waited some more. Nobody came by to refill me. I finally left. A detractor: there was a thick cloud of smoke inside, too thick for me. And that's all I'll say to describe the smoke. After my visit, I kinda wished I had stopped by on Wednesday.

CLOSED SINCE 2015…read more Great little bar just 1.5 miles from exit 133, south of I-40, tucked in the woods. Super folks running the joint. Your standard pub food. Daily Drink Specials and HH from open to 6pm. Presently only serving beers and the malt beverages (like Mike's + Twisted Teas), hopefully a full bar by summer of 2014. Karaoke on the Weekends, Pool Tournament on Thursdays, Darts, Dance-floor, Pinball and Jukebox. Outside seating too. Soon to be opened (and attached to the bar) is their convenience store, deli and campground. Locals having a good'ole time who really make newcomers feel welcome. As like any bar around these parts, smoking is permitted inside, so that can be thick at times. Still worth a great night out! (* Ed Note, the star system has be utilized to reflect the local area and compared to what is available in these parts).
