"This first-floor cocktail lounge joins the array of dining destinations at the recently opened Hotel Heron. Situated in the heart of the 134-room property, guests can enjoy 30 featured cocktails that span from “forgotten stuff” to classics and bar bites at the polished watering hole. Dressed with a tented ceiling, burnished brass bar, and plenty of rich jewel tones, Francis Hall is named after a barkeep who worked in Old Town for 40 years. “He was someone who knew everyone’s name and was part of the community — we’ve built the menu with that story line,” says Betty Woodward, Hotel Heron’s director of food and beverage." - Tierney Plumb
