The Griffin

Liked this place, quiet and cool atmosphere. Kinda hipster, but they had a stocked bar and good beers, so that's fine. The inside is mostly all brick and kinda castle like, I really dug it.

Dark, spacious, almost loungey-type of bar.  It's wide, leaving plenty of room for groups of people to gather, while weaving to allow them to intermingle.

The long bar has battered and worn menus with beers and spirits that showcases some interesting brews.

The jukebox is full of bands and albums I almost know.

Very much the feel of a solid bar that could be dropped into any city, with welcome arms.

Pretty crazy, never expected I'd find a Vegas version of this place!  I prefer the location next to home but this was a cool surprise.

Prices seem to be a bit more fair than L.A., but I prefer the vibe of the location in the city of the angels.  This one is loud and a bit stuffy inside.  Guess it doesn't help when it's 110 outside at 1 am.

But if you're an L.A. native and love the Griffin at home, give this place a visit.  It's definitely fun.

Cancer lovers:  You can actually smoke inside (at least you could when I wrote this review!)
