In a major upset, the oh-so-trendy Franklin Mortgage and Investment Co. — clearly no stranger to accolades and awards — unseated the venerable Standard Tap as the number one bar in Foobooz’s 2010 edition of Top 50 Bars in Philadelphia. Artisan, pre-prohibition and hand-crafted cocktails fared well all around in this year’s survey, which polled writers, bloggers and drinkers from around the city. The list shows a strong cocktail trend, with five bars known for their mixologists ranking in the top 17. Last year the Top 50 bars overwhelmingly favored gastropubs and craft beer haunts.
