Wine Time: Newly reopened in The Factory at Franklin after being shuttered for almost seven years, Saffire is offering a really generous Wine Down Wednesday promotion to invite old and new fans in to visit their new digs. In addition to their already generous happy hour from 3-6 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, bottles of wine are half-price from opening until closing on Wednesdays. From 6:30 until 8:30 p.m., Saffire also features live bands on their outdoor patio as part of the mid-week fun on Wednesdays.
Now Open: Reno-transplant bakers Aubrey and Tyler O’Laskey from Perenn have already seen lines out the door at their new Franklin bakery, with diners absolutely loving their bakery and cafe menu by day and their newly-added rotisserie and bistro nighttime experience. Hopefully, the recent opening of their second location in Berry Hill will allow even more new fans to discover their amazing baked goods.
