Bar in Washington DC, United States
Why go
Choose Franks Wild Years when the goal is a small, casual D.C. bar with a music-forward, offbeat room rather than a formal cocktail lounge.

About Franks Wild Years
Franks Wild Years is listed in Washington, D.C. with a price of $35 per person and a casual dress code. Beyond those basics, the available venue details are limited, so the safest way to approach it is as a Washington, D.C. option rather than relying on assumptions about format, menu, service style, seating, or programming.

The draw is the simple, casual planning profile
The information supports a straightforward expectation: Franks Wild Years is a Washington, D.C. venue with casual dress and a $35-per-person price point. That is enough to help with basic planning, but not enough to promise a particular atmosphere, menu, or style of night.
Come with expectations grounded in what is confirmed
Use the known price and dress code as the main planning anchors. Avoid assuming a particular food program, beverage focus, entertainment schedule, or seating arrangement unless you have checked current information from the venue.
That makes Franks Wild Years easiest to consider when you want a casual Washington, D.C. stop and can remain flexible about the specifics. For anything more exact, such as a special menu, accessibility details, dietary accommodations, or a fixed reservation time, verify directly before committing.
