About This Pub
Ah, the Griffin – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper local gem in Dudley, you know? From what I've gathered, it's all about that easy-going vibe where you can pop in for a pint and end up staying for hours, thanks to the friendly faces behind the bar and a welcoming atmosphere that makes everyone feel at ease. I love how they've got it spot on for dog owners, with little extras like treats for your four-legged friend, which really adds to the homely charm. The drinks are reasonably priced too, so it's perfect for a casual night out without splashing the cash. On the flip side, it does lean towards the traditional side of things, so if you're after something with more bells and whistles or a wider range of events, it might not quite hit the mark. Still, for a solid, no-fuss pub experience with good tunes and a community spirit, it's definitely worth a visit – I'd say give it a go if you're in the area, and you might just find your new go-to spot.

Good old pub would recommend if your out and about in Dudley always a good pint🍺😁
Good atmosphere and friendly staff, music is also 👌
1st time in this pub, so glad my partner and me went In, was going to be just the 1 drink, but atmosphere was good so stayed for a few 😀, thank you rose for a great afternoon and the banter, will be coming again.
Rich and Sarah are the most amazing owners, never felt so comfortable and relax being a new comer into a pub. The atmosphere they’ve created around Dudley is amazing and they’ve created a real buzz for the town. The griffin pub is hands down the best pub in Dudley by a mile, if your stopping in town this is a must to attend to, great priced drinks and a great place to make new friends
Rose the bartender is someone who is very passionate about her job, loving caring and someone who I personally hold massive respect for and now class as familt after a few visits. She goes above and beyond for customer service and you’ll never leave unhappy or wanting to go back.
In conclusion whatever you do; young or old, attend the griffin for a laugh, party, or to chill and have a pint. YOU WONT BE DISSPOINTED!

Lovely manager Sarah, always welcoming and down to earth. Decent prices, and good atmosphere. Have been a regular customer for a while now. Rare I'll go anywhere else. Nice pub. Hopefully the manager will stay on as it wouldn't be the same without her as she's great at the Job and keeps trouble at bay. Would recommend. :)
