Charleston’s 11 Best Chicken Wing Stops | Eater Carolinas

"This renowned dive bar offers multiple sauce options on its chicken wings, most notably its famous “buffiyaki” creation. Make sure to bring an extra dollar bill, as the Griffon’s walls are covered in George Washingtons stapled on by visitors looking to leave their mark." - Erin Perkins

Hide in the 11 Best Dive Bars in Charleston | Eater Carolinas

"The Griffon is a welcome respite from the tourist traffic on East Bay Street. The little dive bar near Waterfront Park started in 1996, which was also when the practice of stapling dollar bills to the wall began. Order the fish and chips to soak up all the local beers." - Erin Perkins

Charleston’s Top 8 Affordable Restaurants | Eater Carolinas

"Sitting on almost 30 years of crumpled dollar bills and memories, the Griffon is a Charleston legend. Co-owners Dan Wenz and Scott London keep the Vendue Range bar casual with an emphasis on good beers and affordable food. The dining room at lunch is an egalitarian scene of craftsmen chatting with Broad Street lawyers and families on vacation. A chili dog with fries will set you back $10.99." - Erin Perkins
