I'm going to give The Griffin the benefit of the doubt for now, but I wasn't in love.
After reading and hearing about it, I was in pre-love: funky decor, great indie music, etc. What's not to like? When we arrived (which was on the late side, and perhaps that was the issue for me), it was super crowded with no where to hang, no where to sit, and nothing all that special going on. I feel like, had I come earlier when there was room to grab a table or a seat, I would've enjoyed the vibe and the people watching. As it was, we walked in, walked about, and pretty much left soon after. There was no reason to just stand there aimlessly.
If I'm in the area, I'll try you again Griffin!!!
