What people say, in short
The Griffin on Fremont draws recommendations for live music and a non-casino night out. Two patrons praise its atmosphere, and one recalls an excellent jazz open-mic visit. Its style divides descriptions: some call it dive-like, while another finds it too nice and pricey for that label. One former Friday-night regular feels it has declined, and another says the live music is enjoyable when a photo-focused crowd does not overwhelm the room.
