We didn’t eat here but sat at the bar and loved it!!! The food looked delicious from what we saw. Friendly bartenders and a great vibe. They have a great drink list and a fun playlist in the background. A close walk to the waterfront.

Absolutely great if you are comfortable with a dive -ish bar/restaurant. People of all ages were eating there. Seemed popular with locals and tourists alike.

So unique you have to see for yourself. Food is pretty standard American bar food, but very well done meaning not greasy and made with quality.

Interesting with $1 bills stuck everywhere. Food not great. Would just go for a porter or stout next time.

Was here as part of the haunted pub crawl. Not a bad little hole in the wall

No frills fun. Come as you are and be accepted by the kind attentive staff. Multiple people wait your table to keep you full and hydrated.

Any place where you can't see the walls is completely legit and awesome.

A real eclectic and interesting pub. Dollar bills are pinned all over the pub! There’s not much seating so it’s hit or miss if you’ll have to wait. The server was also the bartender so he was a little too busy to pay us much attention. I had to find him to ask him for our bill as he never came back to the table after the food was delivered. The Griffon burger was okay, but a little dry. The Philly sandwich was also okay. Good pub grub.
More please🤤 the crunch on that fish the delicious batter and flaky fish YES please! The fries were good but the star was that fish! The club did not disappoint either! They didn’t skimp on anything loads of turkey, bacon and the absolute right amount of lettuce,tomato and sauces! Delicious!

Would definitely go back. I need to figure out a way to estimate the total number of posted dollar bills. Hopefully they will run a contest for it, count it, and start all over again.

So much fun! The staff made this a very fun evening, lots of laughs about everyone and everything being named Caroline! Caroline, Amy, Francis, Larry…thank you all for a wonderful Charleston experience. Fish and chips were great, so was the buck covered in bucks!

The Griffon is a unique spot I would highly recommend visiting in Charleston. The food is delicious and great pub fare. This place is a neat blend of American and English style pub. The wall of dollar bills is definitely a very unique thing that I haven’t seen anywhere else before. We put a dollar up on our Honeymoon here.

The Griffon is a fun, laid-back pub right in downtown Charleston with tons of character. The walls covered in dollar bills give it a unique, old-school charm, and the vibe is lively but relaxed—perfect for hanging out with friends or grabbing a casual meal. We ordered a good mix of food: nachos, wings, shrimp BBQ, a Reuben, the Griffon burger, Philly chicken, and a chicken burger. The Griffon burger was the standout—soft, juicy, and absolutely delicious. The Reuben was good too and hit the spot. The nachos, wings, and shrimp BBQ were solid pub bites. That said, the Philly chicken and chicken burger weren’t great and didn’t really stand out compared to the rest. Overall, it’s a great spot for drinks, atmosphere, and classic pub food—especially if you stick with their burgers. Definitely worth a stop when you’re in Charleston.
Very cool place. Great atmosphere.
