The Griffin Bar & Lounge

This is a really cool neighborhood bar to meet up with a group of friends. For LA the drink prices are pretty reasonable. The menu is pretty small but if you want some decent munchies to go with your beer, I recommend the sweet potato fries and the mac and cheese. The staff was nice but they could have used one or two more people as the bar got busier. Very cool looking place inside. Street parking is free on the nearby streets.

It's a 4 stars for Los Feliz. It's a 3 stars for general Los Angeles Area. Oxtail poutine is a fun idea, but I didn't get much oxtail from it honestly as I eat oxtail in all my soups - it's not like the duck fat from Beer Belly.

This is an unassuming place and a bit nondescript. There is a circular fireplace (enclosed) and lots of tables - so you'll likely find a spot for your group either large or small. There's additional seating outside. The staff seems short-staffed. But they are friendly and professional. I didn't have any food, but the burgers that I saw looked big and yummy. I was there part of a MeetUp group and the staff was accommodating and welcoming. If you're looking for pub grub, a drink and no pretension this is a good spot.

Went there for an afternoon Meetup. No one bothered us. Food is tiny portions, but what do you expect- it's a bar. Atmosphere is nice enough. Music could be better- a little too 80s hipster for me.

Bar itself is cozy, dive’y and fine. Staff was fine. But on a Friday night my friend booked a “room” on the side, the whole place had 9 people in it, our party was 25 people or so. I ordered and old fashioned and It was $17.60... a $2.60 cent automatic tip as punishment for bringing triple the customers the place would have otherwise had. — if you walked 20 feet to the main bar tip was voluntary as usual... I would file that under “outrageous bullshit”

This is my local (also Glendale tap). Its usually quiet when I go in, inevitably not at peak hours. The food is decent, dont br afraid to eat. Drinks are good, reasonably price. Bartenders and crowd are chill. Try to get a seat on the caged in patio its nice out there!

I had reserved a private room of Griffin Bar to join their count down party on Dec 31, 2018. I called Griffin to ask for the menu via different channels. Eventually I was asked to contact the manager Elly directly for the details. She was very helpful to response to my concern not limited to the set menu but also the traffic that night. We were a group of 13, so I had reserved a private room with a window. Although there’s min charges for the private room, and the cost was a bit high than the entrance fee, it’s worth for a large group. There’s a live band there and the atmosphere was good, we really enjoyed the countdown party at Griffin in Seoul.

Great locals bar can be either really quiet it really busy on weekends. I usually prefer it when it's quiet. But it's to as loud as your average sports bar. It's a place to socialize you won't finger big TVs playing some sporting event here just great friendly staff, good friendly locals and great drinks at good prices.
