The Griffon, Charleston, SC

Touted as Charleston’s best dive bar, this friendly little neighborhood hot spot takes first place in food, form, and function. Step inside to find a dollar bill-lined English-style pub that’s brimming with craft beer in a neighborhood-style setting. It’s a far cry from the fast-paced nightlife scene on King Street, and their customers like it that way.

This neighborhood favorite in the Shore Drive and Arcadian Dunes communities is beloved by locals and tourists alike. They’re serving up some of the best pub grub on the beach with a fully stocked bar and game room. Travelers look forward to coming here year after year, while locals keep the place hopping year-round.
