  Came here on a Saturday morning. It was rather quiet but the staff was chirpy and the music was playing. Love the Irish pub decor. Had a spicy Bloody Mary and an omelette and could not have left happier. Really well located for a short stroll too. Highlight of our Battle Creek visit really!

  Totally adorable traditional looking Irish Pub.  My husband and I stopped here for a few beers and a game of darts.  We did not eat although the menu looks pretty tasty.  They had a ton of beer on tap and the bartender invited us to look around at all the taps before deciding.  I wasn't sure if I would like a particular beer and he gave me a sample before I ordered a whole glass.  The dart board is not electronic and there is a chalk board right next to it to keep score.  It was free too!  The price of beer was pretty decent.  I think we each had 2 beers in the larger size and paid about 24 bucks total.  The bartender was extremely friendly and they had a good music selection.  I think I saw a jukebox too.  The clientele ranged from young 20 somethings to families with kids, to the older crowd.  Very casual atmosphere.

  My husband and I went there last night. This was our second time going and they have pretty good bar food. However, last night we saw a cockroach climbing on the wall next to our table. Unfortunately we had already eaten. I don't think we'll be going back any time soon.

  The Griffin is a great little pub in downtown Battle Creek.  It's a good after work hang-out with dart boards, food, and beer.  There are a good selection of Ales, and your usual American domestics.
  
  The menu is pretty good, but they could use some vegetation options for healthier eating.  The corned beef is always good, and so are the chicken wings.  The menu is several pages traditional pub food.
  
  If you are in downtown Battle Creek, be sure to check this place out.  Good food and good times.

  Not many healthy options on the menu, but very tasty BBQ sliders and corned beef and cabbage.  Also, many screens for watching football.  You will see signs on the tables urging you to try Conkey's Tavern Ale -- do it!

  This place was ok. There weren't many people here to socialize with and the beer selection wasn't as good as it could have been.

  The "Griffin" (as known by the locals) is a centrally located bar/pub in downtown Battle Creek. It's a huge place with good customer service and is very lively at night. Though it's not my cup of tea in terms of nightlife.
  
  Lunch is good, but I think the menu could feature better, more healthier options. I ordered the Cajun Chicken Philly Sandwich and fries - super good, but again, I was having a bad day and needed greasy, comfort food.
  
  All in all, not a bad place to visit if you're from out of town.

  This place is great. I went here twice for after-dinner drinks and once for lunch. It's not too busy and has great, reliable service. I had the club sandwich for lunch which was fantastic.
  
  Good prices, good food.

  PROS:  Definitely the best place in downtown Battle Creek.  Good food, cheap good drinks.  You will not get a place with this combo in Philly.

  An English pub style restaurant, with lots of beer on tap.  The atmosphere is cozy and one of the best places to eat in downtown Battle Creek.  Their sandwiches are creative, and they have a variety of burgers and their fries are excellent.  
  A great place to have lunch, or dinner.

  The Griffin is a very nice "local watering hole". They have 36 beers on tap plus more in bottles (Arrogant Bastard rocks!). I had the tasty ostrich burger. In general, though, they have an English pub style menu along with American favorites like Reuben's and such.

  It's a great bar. Great bar food, great drinks.
  Love the atmosphere. I love that you and friends can go, hang out, talk with other people, and not have to worry about being around pretentious people.
  Service is fast and friendly.
  Highly recommend!

  Service is pretty quick and they serve a lot of burger variations.  I usually get the burger with olives and pepper jack cheese, with a cup of soup on the side.  Lots of beers, and not just the typical ones that you see on tap.  They have a pretty good selection of belgian beers as well.  Beware:  this place gets very smoky.

  Imagine "Cheers" with a grill.
  
  This nice Irish pub offers a wide variety of beers and ales and a large menu.
  
  The staff is unfailingly friendly and the atmosphere is suitable Irish.
