Griffins Of Kinsale - South Pasadena

A lovely unforgettable atmosphere with full of life. yummy burgers too ‘mmm

Walked in for the first time and the staff immediately made me feel at home. Gritty vibe, dark wood, red velvet stage and a pirate ship sculpture. I'll have to come back with some friends just so they can see this place. . The food looked and smelled great but I didn't get to try that... yet!

Authentic Irish pub! It was crowded the the day I went and the bartenders were doing their best. I felt a little neglected? I finally was served by a Bartender in the middle ,by the taps, that came all the way to the end of the bar for me and few others in line down there. I need to improve my aggressive game and get in the middle, as the more obnoxious patrons were served more quickly!…Lol

My wife and I went here for the first time tonight and had dinner and drinks. I opted to have our receipt emailed to us, and so when we got home, we were shocked to see that they added a 10.25% service charge. This wasn't for the tip, it was in addition to the 20% tip we gave. Very few restaurants do this sneaky practice of adding service fees we know nothing about until we get the check. What we see listed in the menu, is what the total cost should be. As it was, a sandwich was $21. That's very expensive, and then they had the nerve to add another 10.25%; that's ridiculous. I do not give business to restaurants that do this. It's very dishonest. Most restaurants fold all costs into their menu prices, but every so often you see a restaurant like this one sneaking extra fees in at the end. Shame of Griffins of Kinsale. Thankfully California passed a law saying that this practice is illegal, and so restaurants like this will be forced to stop this dishonest practice starting July 1st 2024.

Excellent Irish fare. Lively vibe when you visit during live band jam. Friendly staff. Friendly atmosphere.
