Great local bar. Has live music a few times a week, pretty good food and a decent selection of beer. The staff is nice, and the place is usually filled with locals. Pretty calm vibe, but the live music is great and livens things up a bit.

Live FlamencoSalsaSambaetc every Thursday night! Free to listen, free to dance. Tipsdonations for the musicians are greatly appreciated. Food is great. Bartenders are awesome. Guaranteed great experience

Just moved to Highland Park, and Griffins is our new hang spot. The pub burger is one of the best burgers Ive ever had. Proper Guinness pours and cool outdoor seating.

Came here on St. Patricks Day to enjoy a Guiness with every one else who was also there for the same reason. There was a band playing great music. Though it was super crowded the staff was extremely friendly and was able to get me my beer. Though crowded, you can still navigate your way to the bar.

This is a genuinely amazing pub venue. Expect to see me playing music with Danny boy soon. Thanks to the best barkeep in California

Im just a fan of this place, especially on Thursdays! They have this amazing salsa band, and its contagious! But lets talk about the phenomenal burgers with potato wedges, its the next best thing, so good...and please order them with ...

I absolutely love it here. Its my favorite weekly hang. Great music and best pint of Guinness around! And Kilkenny too!

GREAT lemon pepper wings. Nice find on a Saturday night. Very lively with live music and good atmosphere. Definitely a mix of regulars and those who google open bars at 10pm.
