Vauxhall Griffin, Vauxhall

It's been dead on the two occasions I've been in recently, and from what I hear that's pretty much the norm.

Beer is ok and staff are reasonable (although what is that ridiculous hair all about?!), but it's a bit out of the way and doesn't quite seem to know if it wants to be a pub or a lounge bar. Made an effort with a quiz night, but I did feel like I was walking into somebody else's party where everybody else knew each other.

Possibly worth a visit, but I would recommend the Gladstone on overall service and quality.

With regards to the previous comment about being a gay bar... when I visited it seemed very much like one. Nothing wrong with that of course, but why pretend it's something it's not? Seems like an attempt to attract any trade it can.
