Franklin Park

"Brandishing a cozy atmosphere and vintage-inspired theme, Dutch Boy is a place even your mom and pop would love. Their menu is pretty straight forward and simple, and their burgers hit all the spots. But what's a burger without fries? Order up a side of curly fries (or onion rings if that's the side that really tickles your fancy) to go with your Hangover Burger after you've spent all night at adjacent beer garden, Franklin Park. If you're still feeling boozy, try out one of their spiked shakes, but even un-spiked they're pretty dang delicious." - Kyle & Annie Turman

"If drinking refreshing cold beers while outdoors is your preference, then Franklin Park is the place for you to chill with some friends or meet some new ones. With their large outdoor beer garden, comfy indoor space, and fantastic draft list, you're likely to have a wonderful evening. Pair that with their small arcade game selection, their Summer book reading series, live DJs on the weekends, and the fact you can order anything from the connected Dutch Boy Burger and it'll be a miracle if you ever leave at all." - Kyle & Annie Turman

"Franklin Park is like a younger version of Union Pool. In the daytime or on weeknights it might feel like a neighborhood beer garden, but on weekends it turns into partytime. There’s an outdoor space in the front where people can hang out, but the action happens in the main bar area (that turns into a dance floor). If a large, slightly drunk crowd is your priority, come here. Also, your friend visiting from out of town might like it. (New York City!)" - bryan kim

"The diner your childhood was missing. Burgers, hot dogs, and shakes you can get spiked. Extra points for being connected (literally, through its back door) to Franklin Park, an awesome bar/outdoor hangout spot. Head straight there after you’ve had your burger fix." - katherine lewin

"Franklin Park is great - but come when it isn’t crowded. What’s that mean exactly? Well, it means that you and your friends should roll up on a weeknight (or, better yet, weekday), and enjoy the ample indoor and outdoor space. Have a beer. Get a burger. Play some pinball or have an air hockey tournament. We could think of worse ways to spend an afternoon. On Friday and Saturday nights, this Crown Heights bar gets extremely crowded, so take our advice and get all your drinking in before the sun sets." - bryan kim
