  • Confession time! Yes, there are times I dress like a hipster, and yes, I like hanging out at hipster places. I can't grow a full beard, and the taste of PBR induces headaches, but if forced to pigeonhole myself I do have hipster characteristics. But hipster or not, The Griffin is an awesome bar that strays from the norm of what is a "Vegas" bar. Situated in downtown Las Vegas, The Griffin fits the label of hole-in-the-wall. It looks a bit like a dive bar on the outside, and it doesn't really stand out too much, but once inside it's like you're transported anywhere from an East-Coast underground lounge to where Harry Potter would drink once he's of legal age (or has a fake ID). The place is adorned with brown bricks, plush chairs, and fireplaces to make you feel nice and cozy. A jukebox pumps music that THANKFULLY isn't what every single other bar and radio station plays, so you won't have to fear plunging an ice pick into your head after hearing "Like a G6" for the millionth time. Perhaps the greatest thing about this bar is the lack of video poker machines and TV's. I hate video poker, and while I do enjoy watching a game with a beer, this is a place that encourages socializing! What, communicating without the use of technology? Talking to people face to face? Don't be scared! And for the most part, people here are friendly, I even struck up a conversation comparing Modernism to Postmodernism in American Literature with a completely random person. There is a small backroom where you can dance, and I found that to be an interesting kick. I hear they use the room for other things as well, but haven't gone to any of those other events yet. And while they didn't have Guinness on draft (Boo!), they did have this chocolate stout that was absolutely delicious. While it's fun to go on almost every night of the week, the place gets PACKED during First Friday. If you want to go there during First Friday, you better get there early, because it's going to be packed and you will have a tough time making it to the bar. PROS: Great drinks on draft. Excellent decor, vibe and clientele Indie music! No Video Poker or TVs CONS: Gets packed during certain events, line can last for awhile. Since it's downtown, parking sucks THE VERDICT: One of my favorite bars in Las Vegas, will go here consistently.
