Franklin Southie

Third outpost of the beloved South End institution offers more room for devotees of their high end comfort food and classic cocktails to spread out. The sharp, minimal design aesthetic, more loft than restaurant, makes actual neighborhood artist community and loft-chic monied poseurs alike feel at home. The gradual gentrification of Southie seems complete with this new addition, although if gentrification means more unpretentious, relatively cheap high quality restaurants and bars like this, then bring it on.
