Franklin Social is a private members community and social club in the heart of downtown Franklin featuring private meeting spaces, dining, craft cocktails, and an expansive outdoor rooftop space.

To continue to curate a destination that fuels the spirit of creative collaboration among artists, entrepreneurs, investors, philanthropists and business innovators in middle TN and beyond.

We believe this space is meant to be shared with our members and their guests. In order to deliver a high-touch and intentional hospitality experience we have limited guest count to ensure space for our existing members.

We offer a variety of food and beverage selections for breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as private dinner options for groups and events. Please refer to our current menu page for updated seasonal selections that includes coffee, cocktails, and food options.

We offer a variety of craft coffees throughout the day, hand-crafted cocktails, and a full wine and bar selection for our members and their guests.

Members and their guests pay for consumption of food and beverage.

We offer two private meeting rooms that are reservable. Each room has access to outdoor patio space directly outside the reserved room. There is also semi-private meeting/table space available on a first come, first serve basis.

There is one fully private call room. There is a variety of booth seating options for semi-private conversations.

No. This is not a traditional co-working space. There are no offices, desks, or specific work spaces. This is a space that encourages and fuels collaboration, creativity, social interaction and co-creation. There are plenty of spaces to meet and we have a call booth where members can take private calls and two reservable private rooms for meetings or gatherings.

Any membership tier can add a spouse to their membership for $100 per month. A spouse can enjoy full membership access and amenities and does not require the primary member to be present.

Members must commit to a minimum of a 12 month term. In order to build a community we believe this takes time and intentional connectivity. Our aim is for members to be a part of co-creating this community for years and that Franklin Social is a place where members want to invest their time and talents to help one another. We believe that thriving communities aren’t transactional and they take time and intention to build.

Potential members are free to apply or request an invitation via the inquiry form on the contact page. Existing members are encouraged to nominate potential members using our FS* app. An independent anonymous membership board meets regularly to review applications.

Franklin Social is 18+ but we have limited events throughout the year that are designed for the entire family to enjoy. Specific events may include the Christmas Tree Lighting, Pumpkin Fest, Dickens of A Christmas Event, etc. We actively communicate to our members about events that are appropriate for children to attend.
