"This has got to be one of Troys best kept secrets. I somehow heard of this bar online and saw that they have shuffleboard and bocce. Who doesnt like a good game of bocce? So when me and my middle aged dad bod friends decided to get together for our night out, I suggested this place. First of all it was a little hard to find. Literally it is in a alleyway that runs between State Street and Broadway. It is located behind the Bank if America. No large neon sign, just some teal doors and a small sidewalk sign advertising shuffleboard, bocce and arcade games. We all finally found it, and descended down the stairs into this modern day subterranean speakeasy of libations and games. The Franklin Alley Social Club is a very chill, relaxing and low key place. There are flamigo decirations everywhere, and the table and chairs are lawn furniture. They have a great drink menu, and are known for their margaritas and cocktails. If you are vegan, your in luck as they serve up their alley burgers made with impossible plant based meatless pattys. I had the cheesetastic burger, which was a knife and forker. So good that this non vegan didnt mind it at all. Other menu items include pizza, chicken tenders (fresh made to order), poutine, tots etc. Its barfood with a twist. This is not really a dinner place, more of a lets get drinks, play games, hangout and have some snacks. The Franklin Alley Social Club deserves their 5 star rating because of the friendly atmosphere they strive to create for their patrons. This is a spot to hit up with friends on your next night out in down town Troy."
