| - I don't know if I'd call it a dive bar exactly. I mean, it's sits next to Fremont, which is like combining all of the worst bars in the world into one, I'd put the Griffin in a class above.
After a hard week of work and drinking, being chewed up and spit out by the unfriendly world of casino bars and touristy places, The Griffin was a savior. My friend had suggested we do Fremont and I was severely depressed after waiting for him there for a couple of hours, damn that place is sad. After walking around through the decaying people and buildings, I said, "let's go check out this East Fremont."
Well, not steps from the faux glitz, there were a couple of tricked our bicycles attached to a street sign, saving grace! "We're going in here." Good bicycles mean two things: locals and fun locals.
The Griffin is a classy joint, not bad at all. They have a full bar and a great staff. It's a bit pricey, but that might be keeping some tourists out. I'm also betting you can get a $3 Pabst there.
Hip and homey, the griffin is a dark, delicious alternative to pretty much every other bar in Vegas. Great music, tatt'd bartenders, cute clientele, all adding up to a nice experience.
