DRINK, EAT & SLEEP IN THE HEART OF BATH
A Georgian Inn with uncommon quality, The Griffin has been welcoming locals and visitors to Bath for nearly 300 years.

Tucked a stone’s throw away from the bustling city centre, the pub offers a lively, but laidback space to unwind – over a pint, over a meal or overnight.

We’ve got outstanding beer, wine and spirits behind the bar, with no end of cosy corners to enjoy them.

We’re here for the proper pub.

    We received a warm welcome at the Griffin Inn & were seated at a nice table, the service was excellent throughout & the food excellent, with a nice eclectic choice on the menu. Highly recommended but booking is essential during busy periods, as a very popular venue.

    What a delightful restaurant for our last dinner in the UK. Food was delicious!!, service great, and the atmosphere of an old pub was perfect. We ordered the Griffin Autumn salad with smoked chicken - cooked to perfection, and the salad flavors were perfect, and the Chicken Ale pie, which was tasty also. Highly recommend this place for a dinner out of the crowds ... but be sure to make reservations, as they were quite busy.

    The table was sticky and dirty and remained so after it was ‘cleaned’. Explanation that there was an issue with the varnish was a bit poor as if that’s the case, then pop on a table cloth. The glasses were also not great, one was not clean, others cloudy and scratched. The table area was bright and airy but not cosy. The food however was very good. Perhaps we were unlucky with the table but I wouldn’t want anyone else to sit there!
