Came here with the bf and his parents on a Thursday night. Be aware... when you first walk up to the Griffin, you'll be a little scared and skeptical upon entering, but you'll be pleasantly surprised to what you find inside. The dark dungeon ambience is surprisingly calming. It wasn't too crowded when we first got there, so we were able to find seating in front of a fireplace. It was quite cozy. They have an extensive beer menu- very cool options! My bf's dad got the moose drool, which was very nutty. Their beer selection is very eclectic, which I enjoy at a bar. My bf's mom got the house chardonnay and the pour was heavy. And the prices were reasonable!
This is a great place to hang out with family and friends. This would be a perfect place to lounge, drink, and play cards or board games. We're thinking about do game night there sometime soon! The crowd consisted of college kids, young professionals and some older folk. For music, there was a juke box and the volume was perfect because we were still able to converse and hear each other.
This will definitely be our go to bar when venturing downtown. A fun place to relax, get your drink on and play games!
