Griffin is great - food - bartenders & beer and drinks & nice job. Shrimp tacos are worth a look

Spur-of-the-moment, we decided to visit Griffin Claw Birmingham.The friendly staff accommodated us with a table promptly.The restaurant was clean and offered a clear view of the television, allowing us to enjoy the baseball, game.The extensive menu, with plenty of vegetarian options, catered to our dietary preferences.The black bean burger was incredibly flavorful, complemented perfectly by the Parmesan truffle fries.The Parmesan truffle fries were exceptional and highly recommended over the regular fries.The generous portion sizes allowed us to take home half of our burgers for later.The extensive beer menu featured a variety of options on tap, including flights for sampling different brews. The excellent portion sizes and good service made for a satisfying dining experience, and we would definitely return.

A great place to come and relax with friends after a long day! We came on a Friday evening at around 7 and it was quite busy, but we were seated within 30 minutes, even though we were told 40-45 minutes. The beers are all brewed inhouse and each has a very unique flavor. The steak bites were cooked perfectly and the sauce it was paired with was delicious. The bun on the prime rib philly dip was toasted well and the contents inside were seasoned perfectly. The accompanying dip complemented the sandwich extremely well. Lastly, despite how busy it was, the server made sure to check on us at regular intervals, which was greatly appreciated. Definitely looking forward to returning!

Tremendous food and beverage. Awesome atmosphere. Community seating on large bench tables

Great service, great food & great craft beer. It was busy & there was a 45 min wait. We were willing to wait, however my man and I found two last seats at the bar so we sat there. The bartenders were great. The Philly dip was 10/10 & the shrimp tacos were also yummy. We tried multiple beers and didn't have one we didn't like. Great for date night or watching the game!!

Griffin Claw was one of my "lost" beer and brewery experiences in which the information I was inputting on a phone was lost because the phone got destroyed. It was driving me nuts with this one until I recovered physical notes of the experience. I could have went off of memory but the accuracy could be off as I visit a lot of breweries and sometimes things blur together. What I don't needs notes for is that their swag is super cool and I bought a t shirt here because of that. But onto the beer. We had the Screamin' Pumpkin beer which was a fun one to have. It was appropriate as we were in the season for Pumpkin beers. Flavor highlights with this beer were pumpkin, spice, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and ginger. This creates a spicy, sweet and strong beer that is smooth and light bodied. Definitely a festive beer that is appropriate for Autumn!

They have a great happy hour until 6PM which includes $1 off beers and multiple smaller plates to choose from. Due to weather we sat inside but they have a huge patio and a parking lot behind the building. It's a very chill atmosphere and an easy spot to catch up with friends. I had a bowl of chili which was perfect for the rainy weather. It was hearty and served with sour cream and crackers! Our waitress was attentive and quick to get us another round!

So I went here based on yelp reviews alone. It's laid out very nice with about half the seating outside. We just sat at the bar which was very busy with people ordering drinks while they waited on a table. The beer was really good and bartenders worked their tails off waiting on tables, the bar, and filling all other drink orders. The Philly dip and pickle fries were amazing. I would definitely visit again.

We came into the griffin claw to celebrate my brothers 21st birthday and get his first legal beer! My dad made a comment that all the staff seemed to be having fun and really enjoy working there which is great to see. I love the ambiance here it's very cozy and welcoming. The food was delicious I loved the dip duo app and the loaded tots. None was lacking in flavor! I like the cocktail list here too not just beers. The S'more martini was awesome like dessert in a glass. This place has been a local hit for years and we will continue to come back for the good food and drinks. I have bought griffin claw beer and seltzer to enjoy at home as well and we have always liked to have it around. It's the best place to come after a skate at the ice arena. Hats off to the good service and tasty food!
