Franklin Park

Franklin Park was carved out of a dilapidated mechanic shop in 2007 a few blocks off Eastern Parkway and down the street from the Brooklyn Museum in Crown Heights. Originally meant to be a small relaxing place to enjoy the outdoor patio, the bar grew a year later as demand picked up. It features a multitude of atmospheres in one space with an outdoor beer garden and two bars to hop between along with giant televisions for important televised events and a full kitchen now to feed the masses.

This bar also has a renowned reading series that takes place on the second Monday of each month with emerging and established fiction writers, memoirists, poets, and essayists. They showcase local talent and host authors from around the world.
