There is something very special about Frankie's. I worked right across the street from this place for months and never even realized it was there. There's not much to the outside and from first glance I would've NEVER stepped inside if it hadn't been from a fellow Yelper/ best friend who highly recommeded we come for a drink!
We came on a Tuesday night and aside from the bouncer at the door, only one bartender was holding down the fort.. err hut.. It is a lot to take in at first glance: the naked dancing ladies on the TV behind the bar, the authentic tiki memorabilia and the stumps of wood that double as chairs. It didn't take long before this small bar began to feel like home. The bartender was beyond friendly and so helpful when discussing the many drinks offered. I'm not sure what I drank but I remembered it was blue. The bartender advised never trust a blue drink and halfway through it I began to see why. Had I drank more than one, they would've needed to pick me up off of the floor!
The bartender spent a lot of time discussing other local dives that we have to try out sometime and was full of great conversation. He also cleared up the confusion about the bathrooms!!! To the average joe, the bathroom doors say nothing to help decipher men vs womens. However, Yelpers now will know that if you look closely, the women's tiki mask has LIPSTICK!! ;)
For a place that doesn't look like it has much to offer, it is amazing and I would recommend it to any yelper looking for a good drink!
