The Scene – Whether this is, in fact, "Houston's Original Sports Tavern" (as it bills itself) is debatable, but there's no doubt that the bar is a tradition all its own. Founder Michael Griffin opened his doors the same year the Astros debuted in the Dome--1965--and it quickly became the unofficial gathering spot for supporters of that team and the town's other athletic franchises (the Oilers and basketball's pre-ABA Mavericks). – – The Draw – Recruited as loyal soldiers in "Griff's Army," staid supporters were packed off in private buses to root, root, root for the…

Great neighborhood bar

by shearer09

Great steak nights on Tuesday, Fried or blackend catfish for lunch on Fridays. They have a really good liquor selection, even several top shelf bottles. The Weekend bartenders are alot of fun. with the weather getting warmer it nice that they have two large patios to hang out on.

Also, the website has been changed from Griffshouston dot com to Griffshouston dot net

  • Pros: Good Prices, Nice Bartenders
  • Cons: bartenders take too many smoke breaks

Best dive bar in town!!

by foodiefann

"GRIFF'S!! GRIFF'S!! GRIFF'S!!" By the end of the night, my friends and I were chanting it. Been there twice during the summer, food is cheap and great. Wings, phillies, fries and rings all have my vote, especially with the gift certificate coupons you can find at a site that rhymes with westaurant dot com. Actually, the staff recognized us on our 2nd visit, and they were having pizza for some regulars and offered us some.

My brother went there for trivia recently and came in second place. Apparently he got owned by some law professors. Awesome; any place that can offer up folk who can take down my genius of a brother is deserving of a lot of love.

Good corn hole; can't wait to try it out for horns away games next football season and for this bloody mary bar that this site speaks of.

  • Pros: Sweet collection of beer cans and old dusty sports flags
  • Cons: None, unless you consider beers served in plastic cups a con

Great sports bar!

by rulu

Griff's is a great sports bar in the heart of Houston that has lots of history. I have watched the Rockets two championships here and have gone along in a group bus to many Astros and Texans games. The people that come here are a great bunch, from old timers to college kids. I love the dive feel of it as opposed to generic looking bars.

  • Pros: Ambiance, beer, St. Patricks
  • Cons: None

When to Go:

Even non-sports fans should keep it in mind for its annual St. Patrick's Day celebrations, which have evolved into bacchanalian revels lasting more than four days.
