"The Tale of The Dragon, The Gorilla & Some Banana Bread A couple of my mates and I decided to visit The Griffin gastropub one night for a bit of a chilled evening after having had a few days of raucous fun. This was the perfect place to do it, with it's laid back vibe and great selection of craft beers on offer, we had found a winner! Scouring the menu, there's almost too many craft beers to choose from, but if beer isn't your thing, there is also craft whiskies... which I will definitely test out on my next visit as this time round I was just too full to fit in anything else. My personal favourite out of all the beers we'd tasted was the Banana Bread Beer, but other notable mentions included the Dragon Fiery Ginger (ginger beer) and the Bone Crusher with hints of orange which become richer when paired with the right food."

Absolutely terrible service by the Staff - We arrived as a group of 15 for a drink or 2 on a Friday evening after we've had dinner. The "Pub" looked closed but it was still an hour before they should close according to their business hours on the window. So we proceeded inside, seeing no people or employees. We then went upstairs and were greeted by a couple of employees rambling on about that they are closed and we should leave. I then asked why they are closed but their trading hours say they should still be open. The gentlemen then proceeded by saying that we are already closed and the hours are incorrect. Would not recommend as the staff members are extremely rude and wouldn't serve us during business hours.

Went here for a farewell lunch. All ordered food and everyone received their food except me. When I complained they eventually brought it about 15min after everyone else got theirs. Wait staff were not good and they had about 4 really bad songs on repeat. We asked them to change the music and they allowed us to connect a phone to play music but unplugged it after one song and went back to bad, noisy RnB. Completely killed the vibe of our farewell so we went elsewhere.

Ripped us off with a heavy service charge that they didn't inform us when we made the booking or throughout the entire evening until the bill arrived. Food was average. Service was quite unfriendly. Vibe and atmosphere was festive though.

I love this Bistro slash Pub. The food selection is exquisite and the ambiance fun. The staff are very interactive and funny. This makes it all worth while.

Place no longer exists, and has been closed for months, but website and google still have it as open. It is now "daisy dukes" and was open but mostly empty when other local joints were hopping. Not a good sign.
