you have to be kidding. We crossed town via subway and walking to get to this "wonderful" highly rated bar. What a dive. the bartender was nice but that was about all i have to say that is positive. Yes the tap beer is skunked. If you go, order something out of a bottle. If you like smoke then go there. If you like going to the bathroom with no lock on the door then go there. We were there on a Tue. The guy at the next table had his computer with him and he was asleep sitting up. We took a picture of him that i wish I could put up here. That's how exciting this place was. Maybe it was better in the old days but not today.

Frank's was Peter Maclaren's favorite place. The first bar I legally drank at on my 21st birthday and the night I hooked up with Peter Maclaren. Peter was well known and well loved by so many, I had to write something here. Peter died this past February 2009 and I was struggling with how to remember him and convey these feelings to others from "back then". For anyone from the late 60's, early 70's who hung out at Frank's, we lost a great friend when we lost Pete.

skunked beer. They've served me skunked beer at least three times. They get credit for living up to their name, but seriously, that's gross. It also seems to collect some fairly unhappy looking people sometimes.

Not a fan.

Must visit!. Never would have thought that I could leave Huntingdon, PA and feel so at home in Philadelphia. Loved this place. Anyone should feel welcome here unless you think you are better than the rest of the world. The bartender and the doorman were awesome. Strange to go to a place with unisex bathrooms, but at least there was something new about it. Had plans on going somewhere else later, but we were so comfortable there that we closed the night out there. Must say that we were thrown off for a minute that there was no sign outside that said "Dirty Franks". The famous "Franks" on the walls outside gave it away though. Would recommend to anyone who wants a fun time in Philadelphia.
