New Restaurant - Franklin Ave, between Sterling n St Johns

anonymous · November 2007

Walked past a new restaurant that is prepping for an open on Sat. Dec 1. I talked to one of the owners. The place looks upscale for Franklin, nice wood/glass doors, large space. The food is southern and will include authentic bbq. He gave me a flyer for the opening nite (which I cannot find). Its a dance party $10/cover R&B. He said they did not want the hip/hop crowd, but the older/professional crowd from the 'nabe.

Do your thing and support local restaurants. Check the place out after Dec. 1.

ps - not sure if this should go on the PHeights board or this one. More exposure the better.

Most restaurants do, but I doubt we can find that out about this one before it's even open!

It's walking home drunk at 2am unscathed that's the true test of a neighborhood's safe-icity (I made that last word up).

Name of Restaurant is 95 South. I stopped by, the menu is basic pub food - about 20 items. 6 entrees - burgers, chicken, Ribs etc, some apps and salads. Prices ranged from $6-12 (if I remember correctly). Mellow vibe, 2 tv's with the game on. The owner was at the bar and seemed friendly enough.
They serve food until 11:30 weeknites, until 2:30am on Weekends.

ate there the other night
the catfish (broiled) was excellent
a friend of mine who had the fried shrimp that night went bsck for the catfish and it was excellent again
as far as a hang goes
i am not a sports bar type of girl
but as long as the food is good
i'll go back
(and this is an establishment that has its roots in the 'hood)

Because obviously black people only like hip hop? I think it is pretty clear that the intent is not to exclude black people. Just the ones that don't like R&B.

the owner is black and his family has lived in the neighborhood for years,
i hardly think that's the case

Let me translate for you...

Hip-Hop crowd: Hot 97 listeners, 18-25 year olds
Older/Professional crowd: WBLS & KISS listeners, especially those that enjoy Hal Jackson on Sundays 35+

Its not a racist thing, its an ageist thing.

i think it's a "no punks" (in the broadest sense of the word) thing
