The Griffin

Dark, moody and full of conversation-ready corners, the Griffin is easily one of the best bars in Vegas and definitely the epitome of the Downtown area's revival. Full of leather-clad lounging spots, candle-lit nooks, and fireplaces, and equipped with friendly and easygoing bartenders, this watering hole is the perfect little joint for a smart cocktail, a provocative date and more. Its relaxing atmosphere is a welcome escape from the nearby tourist dwelling known as the Fremont Street Experience.
