Griffin Inn, Dudley

This corner Banks's pub looks quite impressive, with its mock Tudor stone facade. The interior is open plan around a central bar area. The decor is mainly white, with arty pictures and sofas giving it a more modern look. There was footy on the Sky TV. The service was fine, the clientele younger based at my visit. Beer; no real ale, all tap stuff, with Banks's MILD and bitter on keg. The MILD was pretty cold. Not my kind of place really modernish and real ale free. The younger lads seemed happy enough there though, so each to their own.

This is a friendly local pub. The regulars are welcoming and the staff are helpful. The ales and beverages are of a high quality. The food is affordable and nice.

Always a friendly welcome. The regular customers are a good bunch with a "bostin" sense of humour.The beers of high standard and the staff are welcoming.
