12 Days Of Atwater Village / The Griffin
Sam and I have a thing for bourbon and wings. Come Wednesday, you can find us there enjoying some much needed happy hour of $5 wings and an excellent Kentucky mules. Now we don't have to wait around for happy hour to start enjoying The Griffin. The restaurant/bar is now open for lunch every day and redid their digs with a new skylight to let in some of that California sunshine. Now for us, we like to take it up a notch and order our wings with the ghost chile sauce—super spicy and not for the faint of heart. If wings aren't your thing, check out the burgers and specials for the day. Oh, plus they have a great pairing for beers + shots.
