Great little pub in Canterbury. Admittedly I only went there for a gig, but it had an excellent atmosphere, great staff and it seemed to have a good selection of drinks.
The gig itself was fantastic, and I have a lot of respect for the Black Griffin for supporting local music.
The style of bands might not be for everyone, so check if there's a gig on before going!
Always had a great time, security are ON IT here ive never felt uncomfortable. Musics always made for a good night. Staff behind the bar are lovely and quick and prices are pretty decent. Not eaten here though unfortunately so will need to look into that.
Just popped in for a swift couple before dinner...seemed to be a friendly vibe to the place, with a cool decor while retaining plenty of character. Pinball machine, which you never see enough of in pubs these days was good fun.Also a nice little courtyard out the back which is a little sun trap! Very good pint served by a happy bar tender. Would happily spend an afternoon or evening in here.
Only drank here. Staff were very attentive. Beer was good. City centre prices but they need to charge that to survive but regardless lovely beer and lovely place. I didn't have anything to eat but food smelt delish. If u fancy a good beer good with good music and attentive staff Griffin it is zx
Good local venue/pub. In an accessible location but can get very cramped
Loved this pub, fantastic atmosphere. Was amazingly well decorated and had live music on the night we were there.
As always The Black Griffin provides among the friendliest service going in Canterbury, always a warm greeting with nice chat.
We tried the Outlaw Street food which is a new addition to the pub, the food was amazing, the Hot AF wings were particularly good, and are indeed pretty hot! Would highly recommend the black Griffin, for a pint or the food. Great atmosphere.
Wao I loved this place. The band gave me their tambourine to add some melody to their songs. This was in celebration of st Patrick day
We had some nice pints here in the afternoon and returned in the evening for some more and some excellent food! Highly recommend the halloumi (best I have had)! The service was quick and friendly. Would return.
Good pub, great jukebox and good service. Was great until DJ turned up on Sat night and played hip hop so loud it became difficult to have a chat, unless you went round the back where it was really cold as the back doors were open. Also, lighting really bright...
