A bar, a restaurant, a cocktail place - Franklin and Co have got you covered. At the weekend, they serve a wicked brunch complete with their own Bloody Mary section. Choose from a Bloody Mariner, a Bloody Maureen or a BBQ-style Bloody LeRoy - any way you like 'em, they got 'em. We like them strong, spicy and fast - especially after a night hitting up Hollywood.

So back to that brunch. It ranges from steak and eggs to southern-style shrimp and grits, or even Steel Cut Oatmeal for those in need of sturdy nutrition. We love the West Coast Toast - a fancy French Toast made with cream and orange liqueur soaked brioche. The orange counts as one of our five a day, right?

The cocktail list is seasonal, the setting is casual, and the bar looks cool with a rustic glamour, all exposed brickwork and wine barrels. Sit pavement-side during the day with your Bloody Mary (or indeed your Bloody LeRoy) and take your time - after all, the sign on the door says 'Open Until We Close'. Count us in.
