There’s a Speakeasy Hiding In Franklin’s Mellow Mushroom - Eater Nashville

"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

This is such a cool hidden gem. This place really takes you back in time. The cocktails are made with in-house syrups and bitters made fresh daily. The variety of cocktails and drink options were great. Highly recommend for a special occasion or just a Tuesday night out.

Last night my husband and I went there for our second time and once again it was a wonderful experience. We ordered the Buffalo dip as well as the meatballs. Both excellent. The underground vibe is relaxing and easy. The service both times has been top notch and it seems these days good service can be hard to find. I highly suggest this hidden gem.

We had been wanting to visit Amendment XVIII as we love speakeasies and noticed that it was close to where we live. The best way of locating it is finding the rear entrance for mellow mushroom and there is a parking garage conveniently located to it. In order to enter, you need to flip the Frankenstein switch which is next to their door alerting them and turning on a green light. We went late Friday night and were surprised that it was fairly empty and that there was no wait time. We were immediately assisted and asked if we had any questions regarding the menu as it was our first time. After a few minutes, we decided on our drinks and asked if it was possible to make a small modification to them by removing the egg whites due to both dietary/preference needs. We 100% understand that this can modify the original drink intended and we understood the consequences by doing so. It wouldn't be the first time we ask to have this removed and have always enjoyed our drinks. The waitress had to make sure but then the bartender came to our table and seemed very territorial about the drinks. Explaining that it would modify the drink and we repeatedly told him that we understood. Despite this, he continued to try convincing us to get something else and we ended up ordering something different than what we wanted to avoid the discussion. For this reason, we are giving 4 stars instead of 5. We will be coming back as we enjoyed the ambiance but hope to be able to try something that we actually wanted.

Downtown Franklin needed a speakeasy, and this place fits the bill. Highly recommend, really good drinks and good customer service. Only been here once so far, but definitely plan to come back. My friends and I all had positive experiences with our drinks, although not every drink is worth five stars, but on the whole good vibes.

It was a fun experience once we found it. The host from mellow mushroom showed us through the reasturant to find it. Once inside, the bar looked good, but it was incredibly dark and hard to see much of anything. Everyone had their phones out trying to read the menus. We stayed for one drink each and left. We may have stayed for longer had we been able to see.

The atmosphere and drinks were pretty good. Our egg rolls came cold and for the price of what we paid we thought we would get more. Also ordered the burger and the chicken sandwich in the tasted like they just got them in the frozen food section at the grocery store and microwave them.

A little louder than the typical speakeasy, but the drinks were very good. Waitress was very friendly. Would definitely go again.

Phenomenal atmosphere! The team here is friendly, genuine and highly talented! Very creative with their drink offerings. They made a few “custom” drinks that far exceeded expectations! All they needed was a flavor profile and a few moments later, a delicious and refreshing cocktail was slid in front of us! Definitely swing by and give this spot a try! A sensational experience!

The vibe is amazing! Decor is on point! The staff is friendly & fantastic! Food is fabulous! Then there's the drinks,,, y'all earned the 5 stars!! If you can't find it ask around cuz it's the newest hot spot in town! Pull the switch on the green light & don't worry about the wait,,, it's worth it. *Hint: if the wait is over 15 minutes then go to the Mellow Mushroom bar & pregame there

Come for great Drinks! Cocktails are GREAT, Staff Great, Environment Great... FOOD IS ABYSMAL. Soggy over battered cauliflower, rock hard sliders (chicken and beef, super cheap tasting meat), Charcuterie tray was sliced orange cheese and deli bologna with sweet pickels. Awful. However, it's right next to Mellow Mushroom so if you're hungry, order a pizza. I really DO RECOMMEND this spot for a nice night out, lots of upscale, interesting, beautiful (and delicious) cocktails. **If you own this place, please, for the love of God, spend some $ on good quality food or just partner w MM. Drunk people will order ALMOST anything. Sweet Potato Fries and sauces? Air Fryer Salmon and butter lettuce salad? Can your mother make a casserole??? There must be a solution...

A cocktail bar with pretty good drinks. The service and attitude of the staff was not not good. You would think for a cocktail bar they would be happy and engaging. Won't go back.
