This lively bi-level brewpub doubles as a quirky gift shop, serving up hearty burgers, fresh beers, and tropical cocktails in a fun, family-friendly atmosphere.
"Franklins is a Hyattsville destination, serving a slew of homemade beers in just about every style. The small size of the operation means you can expect super fresh beer on its draft tap list, from Bombshell Blonde to the Twisted Turtle Pale Ale to a potent Matryoshka Imperial Stout (9.0% ABV). The food menu changes frequently to fit the season, with schnitzel and pulled pork featured for fall. A cool patio setup sits under a graffiti-covered bridge." - Travis Mitchell, Tierney Plumb
"Franklins has a rotating selection of microbrew beers, and the pizzas are worth a try. Make sure to visit the toy store adjacent to the restaurant. There’s an assortment of tchotchkes as well as hard-to-find beers and wines." - Mekita Rivas, Tim Ebner
"The Hyattsville brewpub added a new outdoor tiki feature this week, reports Hyattsville Wire. The beach-y setup, dubbed Quarantiki Room, is packed with real sand, aqua pillars, bamboo fencing, and picnic tables made by local craftsmen. Tropical cocktails are aplenty, and a four-person hurricane (Jamaican dark rum, lemon juice, and passionfruit syrup) can be ordered to-go." - Tierney Plumb
"This brewpub is a Hyattsville landmark that sells crab cakes and build-you-own pizzas, available for contactless pickup or delivery to a limited area." - Tim Ebner
"Vying for business with Hyattsville’s long-running Franklin’s Restaurant, Brewery, and General Store will also be a challenge." - Gabe Hiatt
