Boro, from their website
Sharon K.

The Boro Bar & Grill is geared towards the neighbouring M.T.S.U. They serve tons of different bottled beers, and lots and lots of Pabst Blue Ribbon, the signature beer of all college rock bars. The vibe of the bar is totally laid back. Whoever is charge of the music has great taste. I was in there waiting to hear a band play, and the room music played by the bar was fantastic, they played Portishead, and Fugazi. I was floored. I never hear these bands. So, I instantly had a good feeling about the Boro. They have a full food menu. The selection is pretty typical bar food it includes sandwiches and hot wings. They have beer specials and can get pretty crowded throughout the school year. Its is a lot quieter in the summer months. They have huge garage doors that they can open onto the patio to make the entire bar open air. This is when the Boro is at its best. The bar is definitely not a classy joint, but for a college bar, that hosts bands, its not bad at all. The sound system is always brought by the bands playing that night so that sound can be hit or miss. They do have free wifi!

The staff is great and I've heard some good music there but the owner is very unprofessional.

Good bands like to play here, and they open the side (garage) doors in the summer so you can catch the breeze inside.

Great service and awesome atmosphere , would definitely recommend visiting. The drinks were great…read moreand prices were great.

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.
