Franklin

Came here after the Usher concert to get a cocktail and glad I did. The bartender, Charlie is the nicest and knowledgeable bartender I've met. I asked if he could make me a Gin Martini and it was one of the best I've ever had. Not over powering or too sweet it was just right. He's also an Usher fan so he's okay in my book. If you want a great cocktail that's away from the casino this is a great option.

I'm not usually one to spend time in a lobby bar, but I loved Franklin. Lots of comfortable seating options and just separated enough from check-in that you forget you're still waiting for your room, but not separate enough that you can't enjoy some people-watching. Rey is an excellent bartender that actually knows how to make cocktails (do you know how many times I've had to tell a bartender how to make a drink?) and knows just the right amount of conversation to make without being obtrusive. They have a great whiskey selection and if you're not sure what to order, just ask!

Wow wow wow I am blown away by everything!!! The ambience cute intimate decor just great drinks everything. Let's get into it, I stayed at the Delano over the weekend and I'm not a walk the strip kinda person lol I leave that to the young kids. I stopped in to have a quick drink which led to me being there until it closed! The bartender was Charlie and can I tell you I REALLY HOPE HE NEVER LEAVES! He was the nicest most knowledgeable and personable bartender ever. I am from San Diego and when I say I'll be making the 5 hour drive JUST TO have a drink made by Charlie I mean that! I am a Gin girlie so I ordered a French 75 and then I was telling Charlie I love Aperol and to my surprise I looked up and saw another drink in front of me! Charlie went out of his way to make a special cocktail for me, if that isn't a great bartender I don't know what is!!! All in all this is a great cute little bar to have a drink or three and be around some grown up scale people. I hope to visit soon and have another drink by Charlie himself!!!!

Really loved this quiet and calm bar in the Delano you forget your in the lobby because it has very cool and upscale vibe. Had a couple of Martinis and they were fantastic! Will definitely recommend.

The sweet sirens call made me stop in here to get a drink at the bar. Plus as I walked by I could not stop tapping my foot to the elegant sounds coming from the female singer. She is so amazing and even interacts with the audience as she sings. The Franklin bar was just a pit stop for me for a drink. Although they offer actual food I did not partake of any this trip.The Franklin is a throw back to the wonderful lounges of the 1930s and 1940s with the female singer not dancing on the piano. Her voice is magical and she keeps the audiences attention. She even waves as guests walk by. It feels like I know her. She is very magnetic. Her band is amazing and keeps the beat wonderfully to her singing. Some of the covers that they are performing sound just as the originals, so there is so much talent that goes into this band. The Franklin is located in the beautiful Delano near the lobby. The band that is playing makes the entire energy of the bar and lobby area alive. Her voice carries all the way down the hall and you can hear it as you turn the corner coming from the MJ experience. One does not just hear her voice there is so much passion and energy in her singing. As I sit her and write this, the cocktail is so enjoyable. The whole Franklin bar is alive now because of the sirens voice that is mesmerizing. The service here at the bar is great, but the prices are a little high. With the performance from the band it does not matter. I stopped in here for a cocktail because the lure of the female singer in the band is overwhelming, plus I had some time to kill.

Franklin is such a beautiful calm local bar on the strip. Very high end and upscale. Also have a few tvs for sports watching . Definitely recommend it. Nice place for all!

If I were to rate the bar on its looks and drinks then it would probably be a 3-Star because my wine and my wife's berry cocktail were both pretty good.It's too bad though that two bartenders with poor attitudes ruin the mood because that's what happened on Friday 3/16 when my wife and I were there. As soon as I sat down a shaker comes flying my way with the remnants of a berry cocktail and it almost ends up in my lap. All the guy said was "Did I get you?" I said no and he walked away after wiping it up. He then compounds it later because where we were sitting, we could clearly see that another bartender mentioned the incident to him from behind the curtains and the guy just rolls his eyes and says "What else was I supposed to say?" How about "Hey, I'm sorry are you ok?" Maybe even a "Hey man, why don't I get your first drink since I came about an inch from ruining your outfit before you even had your first drink."We returned late night because we obviously are stupid and when my wife asks another bartender what champagne he recommends, he just exhales and say "Ugh, just get the Prosecco." Ok, sorry to have bothered to ask your opinion on one of your options.These two bartenders either hate their jobs or need some points of service training. We were guests at the hotel and this somewhat reflects poorly on the Delano in my opinion.

This place was very nice, we had several drinks before going to other places this evening...It is small and cozy, they have a decent bar!!The bar tender could be friendlier... Was trying to ask for the drink I wanted and even though my group was the only one in the place and no one was waiting, he gave me a face when I started asking for different bottles, if this would not have happened, I would have given the perfect score...Anyways, you can stop by for a drink...Enjoy

Last night a large group of us met at the Franklin, and had a fantastic time. The drink prices are a bit shocking at first, but well worth the cost. The staff made perfect recommendations. They quickly assessed our preferences, and recommended the perfect drinks and cautioned us against ones they didn't believe we wouldenjoy. They made truly classic cocktails right down to the block ice and care for detail. Thank you!

Stopped by this bar on the way to Rivea.Bartender was friendly but drinks were overpriced.
