  • Every time I think of a place in Providence as a hipster haven, I remind myself of what it's like in NY or LA where hipsters grow like fucking weeds in soil made of irony and stale PBR. It seems like the area of Freemont St away from the Freemont Street Experience has become the hipster haven of Vegas. I'm not sure if these are bars frequented by locals, or if this is where every hipster from LA comes to spend their time when in Vegas. Now I know "hipster" is one of those terms no one self-applies - so when you call someone a hipster or some place a hipster bar you're usually likely to get an argument. But seriously, sincerely, this bar couldn't be more hipster if it grew an old-timey mustache and gushed to its friends about the coolest newest food truck no one knows about yet. This being said, I actually like The Griffin. Granted, as a man's man in my mid-thirties I'm probably the oldest and biggest person in the place. But the scrawny little vegans don't bother me, and I don't bother them. The drinks are good, and they have some cheap beer that I imagine is the Vegas version of my beloved Narragansett and Iron City. The place has a bunch of fire pits in it, which seems like an odd architectural choice but makes for a great atmosphere. Dark and moody yet warm and cozy at the same time. If you can get a seat there are some great couches. The interior is designed to look like some sort of medieval dungeon or colonial wine cellar - which is weird because from the outside the place is clearly neither (a one story building does not need those types of arches for support). The brick and the archways are clearly fake - which just makes me wonder what this place was BEFORE it was The Griffin? Was it some cheesy dungeon/haunted house attraction? Was it a goofy heavy metal club? Who would invest in so much fake brick? Anyway, as much as I hate hipsters, I dig The Griffin. I like downtown better than The Strip, and sometimes I like going to a bar that's not in the middle of a casino. Being at The Griffin just feels like I'm in any other town hanging out with my friends - and that's nice even when (or especially when) you're in Sin City.
