Dogfish Head Craft Beer Dinner at Franklin!


That's Right! Franklin & Company Tavern will be hosting a beer pairing dinner with a selection of I.P.A's from Dogfish Head Brewery and a menu by Franklin & Company Tavern executive Chef Salvador Roldan. Tickets for the event go on sale first to our Punisher's Mug Club © Members and then open to the general public. The event will be four 8oz beer tastings with a four course menu specifically designed for each beer. With beers like 120 Minute IPA brewed to a colossal 45-degree plato, boiled for a full two hours while being continuously hopped with high-alpha American hops, then dry-hopped daily in the fermenter for a month and aged for another month on whole-leaf hops and clocking in at 15-20% ABV and 120 IBUs, 120 Minute is by far the biggest IPA ever brewed! It's easy to see why it's called THE HOLY GRAIL for hopheads! The 120 Minute IPA a few times a year, and goes fast if you live in a state they ship it to which currently California is not one of those lucky states. 
Dogfish Head and Sierra Nevada, two family-owned craft breweries known for their unique hopping techniques, are deepening the bond they forged with the 2009 collaboration Life & Limb.Their new beer, an East-meets-West Imperial IPA called Rhizing Bines, will clock in at 8% ABV and 70 IBUs. This is a limited short supply beer that will disappear quickly! We expect this to be one of our most popular events this year so you got to move fast. Please respond to events@franklinandcotavern.com and a representative will get back to you for booking.

The Snug LIfe


Nearly a century ago in Great Britain before the blurring of class divisions any good Public House would have a "snug.” This was typically a small,very private room where nobody could look in and see the drinkers.The snug was for patrons who preferred not to be seen in the public bar. Ladies would often enjoy a private drink in the snug in a time when it was frowned upon for women to be in a pub. The local police officer might nip in for a quiet pint and the parish priest for his evening whisky.

Franklin & Company Tavern, a restaurant nestled at the base of the Hollywood Hills in Los Angeles, set out to recreate such a room for those of distinction. Set back in the restaurant a small staircase made of scotch crates and wrought iron lead you to a private loft where dark leather booths, bare floorboards, brass fittings, and chevron subway tiles that look taken from a Paris metro line cover the length of one wall. On the rear wall under the orange glow of vintage wall sconces and behind the silvering wear in the antique mirror that cover it you can read the old sign; Franklin & Company Fine Old Bourbon Distillery. When seated at the long banquet table above you are the old post & beam frames of the arched barn. Tucked away in the corner of this barn loft “snug” sit a massive pyramid of 24 barrels each bearing the
Franklin Tavern insignia that once held wine, whiskey, and ale. Looking down over one side you get an observation view of the bustling open kitchen and the chefs preparing the dishes.

This richly textured room is an ideal spot for patrons planning a
memorable event or holiday party and the only seats in the house that this restaurant takes reservations for.  Choose the snug life.
