Red Lion's old factory got a glow-up, and honestly it's better than whatever it used to crank out. Franklin Street Social stuffs 13 vendors and one central bar into a historic building, which means you and your chronically indecisive friends never have to agree on dinner again — grab Thai from one stall, a smash burger from another, crispy tenders from a third, then regroup at the bar like functional adults. And yes, there's a slide built for grown-ups. No, we're not going to pretend we're too cool to use it. Fair warning, this isn't a last-call kind of place — doors shut by 8 (9 on Friday and Saturday), and there's a two-story kids' zone, so daytimes skew stroller-heavy. Time it right and it's a killer low-commitment hang: real drinks, real food, zero pressure to lock into a single menu. Come for an early dinner, warm up before the night gets loud, or just eat your way across the map without ever leaving Red Lion. Closed Mondays — plan accordingly.
