Griffin (the) - Arcata

Best place in Arcata to have a drink and a bite with friends and decompress. Amazing cocktails, delicious scarf and a noble but FUN ambience! ...not to mention that the owners are an explosion. Good people. Enjoy!

Amazing atmosphere is the energy of this place reviving. The DJ holds a well-designed balanced mix of music with lots of salsa. It would be nice to have a little more Bachata. The dance floor is seamless and spacious and the staff is hospitable and friendly. I took a group after dancing lessons for a friend's birthday and everyone had a great time and was impressed by the variety of unique drinks offered. This is a very stylish establishment with respectful mosquitoes. As a woman I appreciate the security and that was also a very safe place. Friday was our first time, but it will not be the last, that is definitely a good place to be.

Great classic place in Arcata! Good food, great drinks and great, free music on weekends!

Crazy good drinks! The Sparkling Sativa is a must! Tacos are great!!!! My favorites are Korean beef, Chorizo Thai. Beautiful woodwork and art. Super friendly staff. Try it!!!!

Love this place! Great atmosphere! Has been perfect for a cocktail with girlfriends, date night with my sweetheart, dancing the night away, and enjoying some decadent bites.
