The Griffon

“The atmosphere was great, service was great, and the food was even better!”

This is a very cool place with a lot of history and a story worth hearing. The atmosphere alone makes it worth the visit, and you can tell there is a lot of character and tradition behind the establishment. The food was good, but I would describe it as solid bar food rather than a destination for fine dining. The menu is fairly small, which keeps things simple and easy to choose from.

Stopped by The Griffon in downtown Charleston for a quick lunch and it delivered exactly what you want from a classic English-style pub near the waterfront.

One of my favorite places I’ve visited so far in Charleston. The food atmosphere and service were all excellent. The prices are also very reasonable. I had the chips and queso for an appetizer.

Really awesome little pub, would highly recommend checking it out.
