About this restaurant

  • Great for craft beers
  • Lively
  • Great for happy hour
Griffin Tavern brings bold flavors and comfort food classics to the heart of downtown Spokane. As part of our modern gastropub experience, our kitchen puts a thoughtful twist on familiar favorites—think crispy fried pretzel bites, juicy tavern burgers, hand-breaded fish & chips, wings with house-made sauces, and seasonal features that showcase local ingredients.

Our menu is designed for gathering, grazing, and pairing perfectly with whatever’s pouring from our self-pour beer wall or crafted behind the bar. Whether you're stopping by for a casual bite or settling in for a full meal with friends, the Griffin Tavern is all about great food in good company.

    Father's Day with my kids. We loved the windows on the Monroe and First, watching the world go by, so to speak. Service was exemplary. Food was great. The beer wall is pretty cool. Will definitely be back again

    The location of the Griffin Tavern is fantastic. It's got lots of natural light. Unfortunately, we were stuffed in a dark corner. It seemed under-staffed for a Saturday evening during prom season with shows in nearby venues. Super slow service. After we had eaten, the waitress apologized for the slow service and then never returned with our tab. I finally had to go find her to pay. Luckily we had built in extra time so we wouldn't be late to our show.

    We've been asking around for the best fish and chips in town and you did not disappoint. I tried the curry fish and was suprised to not detect any curry, but the fish was still great and the rice was perfect. I had the orange desert and wish I could have had much more (although the portion was most generous). EXCELENT Our server was very helpful and a true delight. We will definitely put you on speed dial as our new "best place to go". Thanks so much...........Bill (My birthday is Wednesday and we may be back then)

    Adrian did a fantastic job of service along with the young hostess who worked her butt off getting tables cleaned up to keep up with reservations, (sorry I did not get her name).

    I have some dietary restrictions; the menu is a slightly limited. Judging by the amount of taps, this would be a beer lovers paradise. Since beer isn't one of my things, I stuck to lemonade & water. Fish & Chips was excellent. Quality fish, battered and deep fried. No fishy aftertaste.

    Food and service were good as always but they have removed several menu items we usually get and the noise level was very loud!

    We did restaurant week and tried everything on the menu. It was all excellent. Our server was great, but the food did come out a little slowly, but I'll give a restaurant week startup pass on that one. Cool vibe and nice decor. Highly recommend!
