Quinno _ left this review about The Griffin

Literally a Wednesday night down the Aberystwyth SU from my youth but 24 years later in this GK party barn pub. Two levels and to be fair it's kitted-out pretty well, those of a Titchmarshian disposition will enjoy the four poster tables upstairs which are bedecked with fauna. Oddly there was a token cask of Dark Tide which even more oddly was actually pretty drinkable (NBSS 3). A better bet than the Apple Tree on this showing.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Griffin

Prominent city-centre pub, housed in an old bank and located just up the station access road by the old defensive towers. You might think that 'spoons would have done a better job of the conversion because the interior is disappointingly anodyne (and the mezzanine insertion doesn't really help). With two of the four handpumps in use, I found the local Citadel (£3.55) and Greene King IPA being served, with another Carlisle Brewery beer and Old Speckled Hen coming next.

Large Greene King over a couple for floors.

Real ale options seemed limited to core GK range, so avoided.

Stella £1 cheaper than Peroni at £4 a pint.

Seemed popular for the "pub grub crowd"
