"Amendment XVIII, co-owned by Dean Marsh and Steve Barone, is a bar inspired by Prohibition-era speakeasies. Located at 317 Main Street in Downtown Franklin, it offers a unique entrance through a back alley door of Mellow Mushroom. Inside, the decor includes a back lounge with tables made from red boxelder trees, wooden pews from the Grand Ole Opry, a stamped tin roof, and vintage mirrors. The cocktail program, led by Hunter Thammavongsa, features 17 drinks, each a twist on a classic cocktail, with ingredients inspired by Thammavongsa's Southeast Asian heritage. The bar also offers comfort food like sliders, gouda mac and cheese bites, and bourbon pecan pie. Additional offerings include a Locker Club membership for exclusive benefits. The bar is open Tuesday to Thursday from 4 p.m. to midnight, Friday and Saturday from 4 p.m. to 2 a.m., and Sundays from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones
