Our Story
More than 20 years ago, one of Boston’s most beloved bartenders teamed up with her longtime friend – a local, classically-trained chef – to open a neighborhood bar that served incredible, award-winning food alongside innovative wines, local microbrews, and craft cocktails (before they were known as such). The idea was groundbreaking at the time (believe it or not) and would go on to become The Franklin Café, an intimate restaurant & bar in the South End from Maureen McLaughlin (the bartender) and David DuBois (the chef).
