| - The Griffin is a cool bar that you can wear a leather jacket in and not feel like a pretentious jerk or an under dressed chump. It's not divey, but it's not completely a cool kids only vibe, either. It occupies a nice little sweet spot that is inviting, and not intimidating.
Juke box, but no Touch Tunes. You want to hear something, you get up and hold that juke box and flip those selections, Mister. Also, the mix of tunes is somewhat eclectic, leaning toward rock and punk. Make it happen.
Dark-ish interior featuring arch brick work and wood. This place feels like a local's bar when you walk in. Inasmuch as there are rock-minded folks in downtown, the Griffin is catering to them. Also, and this matters, the bathrooms were clean and the bar tender nice. Can't go wrong there.
