The Franklin House

A surprise find… good pub food reasonable pricing… love the lively band on music night. Loud for a date but great for when over got nothing to say… Enjoyable atmosphere and food.

So I am here for the first time. Had a few drinks and food. The bartender, Keirra, and the server, Jessie, both extended excellent, courteous service. The flat bread with chicken was excellent. Pricing was good. I would come here again.
Overall good experience

My favourite Streetsville pub! So much character and charm on the outside but classy, comfortable and clean on the inside with lots of seating areas and chair options to choose from. Drinks are always tasty and consistent. My favourite is the Jesse Juice cocktail recommended to myself and a girlfriend last summer, now we get it every visit it’s so good! Love the balcony and patio, great live music upstairs on the weekend, sometimes we even get up and dance! Love the food too, Caesar salad is so unique and tasteful, fries are crispy, nachos are a little light on the cheese but the veggies are so fresh and tasty. My franklin favourite would have to be the wings, best I’ve ever had so crispy! The staff is so friendly and smiley and always makes sure you’re enjoying your visit. I work up the street and I’m always sending my clients to franklin house and they’re never disappointed!

Mississauga natives find this establishment located in streetsville the go to spot for a casual night out with buddies. And so in turn, it is incredibly overrated. It’s cramped, visually boring and has horrible music and service. There are much better bars to go to in the sauga area that blow this place out of the water. I really tried to like it, even after I gave it it’s 3^rd shot. Its one of those «we get business regardless so we don’t care» places.

I love this place because it’s local and they have some really awesome bartenders/​servers. They make amazingggg caesars. The prices are fair. Wednesday they have wing night — 60 cents a wing. Although, the food is not the greatest, for the price and the fact it is a pub, it isn’t too bad. I would recommend going for drinks rather than to eat.

THE OWNER IS A JERK. Ive had a problem here so many times and so have my friends. The bouncer knew my as i had been in many many times before but this time i only had my health card but he would not accept it as ID and after getting the manager he told me to get off his property…
There is always ridiculous lines to get in, and then once in another huge line to get upstairs…
Dont recommend this place to anyone.

Franklin House is always crowded so they must have something good to offer.
Perhaps the patio is nice, and it’s good for a drink, but the patio was full and we ended up inside. It was cramped, there were only 3 or 4 other people inside, but it was terrible. We were seated off the bar, between the kitchen door and the door out to the patio. The music was so loud we could not hold a conversation. They did not have the beer I like, or my second, or even my third choice. The waitress was not overly friendly, but she was. What made this such a terrible experience aside from the atmosphere was the food. We ordered flat bread appetizer, cheese and bacon, and it was not good, no flavour, sorta dry and bland. For dinner, I ordered stuffed yorkshire pudding. What little bit of actual roast that was in there was dry, definitely reheated from frozen. The yorkshire pudding itself was gummy and tough, the vegetables tasted reheated and bland. My companion ordered a burger and fries, and the fries were awful, soggy, no seasoning, tasted like they had been fried in old oil, and the burger was dry and had no flavour. Our bill for 2 beer, and 2 meals and the flat bread was almost 60 dollars. We left and went to Burrito Boyz and got something else as we were still hungry.

I like the location and the all, but the fries I had were probably the worst fries I have ever had in my life. Soggy, dripping in oil, bitter-​ish, not seasoned… i’m still confused about it. Had a cider which was warm and a bit flat. Other people seemed to have fun, maybe it was just my fries… and my cider … :)

This place is small and lackluster. Nothing good and nothing bad. I came Sunday afternoon before st. Pattys day and it was dead. Ok well all of streetsville was dead. We tried to go up stairs but it was locked off.
They had green beer but that’s all I remember.
I didn’t eat here

A group of us celebrated my friend’s birthday at The Franklin House last night. The majority of us tried out their prix fixed menu which is a 3 course meal for $ 25 (excluding tax and gratuity). I definitely shouldn’t have snacked before coming because I barely touched my calamari appetizer. I had to save room for the main course — the medium rare prime rib. The prime rib came out without au jus, cooked as medium (instead of medium-​rare) and had the HUGEST piece of bread I have ever seen. The meat looked dry and it did taste how it looked. My sister who is a huge fan of prime rib didn’t even finish hers because she didn’t enjoy it. I wasn’t surprised that their prime rib wasn’t the best because it isn’t featured in their daily menu. For dessert me and my bf chose the apple blossom. Dessert was pretty good.
We celebrated my friend’s birthday on the second floor sharing it with a group of loud people sitting beside us… which was pretty annoying. Around 9:30 pm a live musician began to perform as well.

Wandering around Streetsville on a sunny quiet Sunday. This clean and mature-​looking pub looks like a rockin’ neighbourhood hangout as I serendipitously stumbled in by chance while looking for lunch.
Wandering through their menu of pub and brunch food, was disappointed by their limited and standard selection of beer. Naturally I stumbled on some Steam Whistle. And a pulled pork sandwich.
Wandering my way into the meal… holy crap, their portions are huge! I was hungry like a wolf coming in, but their thick and juicy foot-​long sandwich and overdose of fries was more than enough.
Their huge front-​end patio looks like a great place to stumble upon some friends or eat some local village main street scenery.

Streetsville is rapidly becoming another favourite spot in Mississauga. While I still have nothing but love for Port Credit, the bars, restaurants and shops of Streetsville have piqued my interest and drawn me into their quite excellence.
Last night following a successful dinner up the road at Saucy I joined a group of Unilocalers at The Franklin House for a night cap. Now my second visit, I was more than pleased to take up on their great patio with my pals.
Sparing you the history lesson on this place (I’d kindly refer you to Jennifer K’s review for that), FH looks older but I prefer to call it character. With 2 floors and 2 patios (upper and street level) this is a great spot to come for some local drinks or to watch the game.
Their beer selection is fairly standard (no local Craft Beers), and I haven’t attempted their fare yet, so I’ll be sure to do so and adjust this review accordingly. They are likely ready for a few small upgrades but for a local pub, it suits me just fine.
If in the area this summer, snipe a seat on the patio, bring a book if alone, or just enjoy the quite nights of Streetsville

I came here with my co-​workers to celebrate an uneventful Black Friday. The interior looked inviting. I had a Rickard’s Red ($ 6) and the shepherd’s pie ($ 12). I was quite disappointed. The shepherd’s pie was essentially hamburger helper underneath baked potato scraps. The price is too high for the quality.

The Franklin House was built in 1855 as the private residence of Peter Douglas, who in 1859 went on to sell it to Bennet Franklin. In 1877 the building was converted to a Hotel and Public House which eventually in 1910 under new ownership was renamed «Queen’s Hotel». In 1927 it ceased to operate as a hotel with the enforcement of the Canada Temperance Act, but has continued to be used for commercial purposes.
The Franklin House has now completely renovated and serves as a bar, pub, sport bar (NHL, NFL, UFC…) and a gathering place for the locals!
Love the patio here and with the heated outdoor lamps, you can even enjoy a drink when the weather gets a little chilly.
According to sources, the ghost of a young woman named Jessie has purportedly haunted the grounds since the mid-​19^th century, and her presence is still felt.
If you looking for a place to chill with your friends in Streetsville, The Franklin House just might be the one!

In the presence of Elite companions, we followed the Yellow Brick Road to Streetsville.
~~~ We’re off to see the Wizard, The Wonderful Wizard of GTA[1] ~~~
After finding The Wizard at Lion City[Mississauga], Dorothy[2], Scarecrow[3],
Tin Man[4], Cowardly Lion[5] were sent to battle the Wicked Richie of the West[6].
At the Franklin House patio over some Guinness, Samuel Adams and Steam Whistle…
We realized The Wizard & the Wicked Richie of the West were perfect Frat Buds.
No one got a Bucket of Beer thrown on them. No one screamed «I’m meltiiiing… «
They all drank happily ever after.
The End.

Went here on a Friday night for a bite to eat and a drink with a friend and ended up staying 4 hours! Part of that had to do with the extremely comfortable chairs at each table. We ordered fish and chips and chicken fingers and salad. Food was typical pub fare and reasonably priced. Turns out the fish and chips are on special Fridays so the discount was a nice surprise.
Good selection of drinks and beer on tap but I was dissapointed they didn’t have a drink menu so we had no idea what anything cost. They did however get bonus points for serving Steamwhistle on tap in a chilled Steamwhistle glass. I’m always happy to support local businesses.
The downstairs area is great for dining and catching a game, nice background music and good service kept everyone in good spirits. The upstairs had live music, a full bar with with waitress service, patio and plenty of tables. There were even people dancing to the live music.
Overall, I would definitely come back and maybe spend another 4 hours!
