Have a great time here. Laid back vibe, excellent drinks, nice music selection. Great place to drop in for a quick drink. Nice atmosphere. Also has outdoor seating, will definitely be back.

Nice place to come as you are on any night, grab a drink, and chill. Quaint esthetic makes you feel like you're at a good friends house, I would discibe the place as eclectic and cozy. The music was nice, familiar songs to bop to and sing along, straight vibes if you come alone or with friends you are welcome. The bartender was a vibe little lifeless - maybe they were having a bad day, but everything else made up for the good time. I think I was overcharged for 6 oz. of cranberry juice when mixed drinks were far cheaper.

Griot was absolutely amazing!!! I had never been before and was having a hard time deciding where to go for my birthday and finally landed here. Everyone that came complimented the vibe-- it's super laid back and chill. The DJs were on fire all night. It was pretty relaxed until about 9, 9:30. Every seat was full after that. The bartender was awesome. When me, my husband and friend got there at 8 she was bringing the menu and drinks over. No food, but following the Instagram page it looks like tacos and tequila are available on Thursdays. Almost forgot to mention the host came over and brought me a drink for my birthday. Can't wait to go again!

This is the place to take a date or hang with some friends, have a drink, be together, listen to soulful vibey music. Went there for a happy hour drink with family, left, and then came back later in the evening because it was so good. Get the day vibe and the night vibe! I wish they published their playlists, the music was that good! And the bartender is the best too. Makes you feel like youâre at home with a good friend.
