Any other bar...fuhgeddaboudit!\n\nPart ski lodge, part catacomb, Griffin feels a world away from the strip. Once you slip past the heavy velvet curtain, and your eyes adjust, you quickly realize the Griffin is Anti-Vegas Central.\n\nI've never been blown away by any of the drinks, including the wines. No major mixology here...just great, correction, GREAT atmosphere, fantastic eclectic crowd, and the ever-roaring fires.\n\nThis is probably the one place in Vegas that pulls off the impossible... where you can go to disappear from the world or go party with it.\n\nAfter the Artisan, one of the most interesting bars in Vegas!"^^ .
