The Griffin in Flintshire

Not a lot people so atmosphere???

Went to watch the football on bank holiday weekend, we played pool and darts afterwards. Friendly staff and great atmosphere.

This pub has gone up decibels since the new landlady debbie and her partner Michael have taken it over such a lovely down to earth pair...its been one of my locals since I was old enough to drink...atmosphere on a weekend is next to none ..all the locals and visitors everyone enjoys...Good entertainment 👌 they have dragged this pub up from nothing as the last couple ruined it for everyone...so all those who stopped going are all bk in towe.. pop in and enjoy you'll not be disappointed.

Great friendly pub. Regular quiz night, karaoke and live music. Definitely worth a visit for an afternoon or evening or both!

The Griffin mold is a fantastic pub great atmosphere friendly people go there and the the proprietors Debbie and Mike are so welcoming and friendly to me it's the best pub in North wales I would recommend anyone that reads this is to pop in you won't be disappointed you will go in with a smile and walk out with an even bigger smile

Went in for a couple of pints and a game of pool. Nice place and fair prices.

Great pub, been a few times recently and the staff are brilliant, good atmosphere and really good prices. We last went on a Friday and they had a band playing who were great.

We visited for the first time yesterday after years of passing by. We had a really lovely late Sunday lunch. The food was beautifully cooked & plenty of it. Our server, Ben was very attentive & made sure we didn't have to wait long for our food & the table was prompty cleared. The dining room is really nicely decorated & very clean. We were very impressed with everything at The Griffin & will definitely be recommending it to our friends, family & clients in our business.

Cheap beer great place friendly staff

Great people, very friendly and a great atmosphere when live music is on

I went here on the 24th of May it was a friendly little pub my friend was doing the karaoke, there was quite a few singers up including myself may I say, also the beer was spot on, ill be going there again.

Came in for a pint after work, didn't happen to have a mask on me so i then bought one from themselves for £1 and put it on, got approached by an absolutely vile staff member who i was then informed was the land lady, she proceeds to raise her voice and shout in front of all her staff and customers about how i didn't see the sign saying about wearing a mask ect, she spoke in a horrible belittling tone perhaps because im not a regular?, i responded saying that there is no need to shout then she told her staff not to serve me, i was polite the whole time, absolute horrible experience, definitely won't come here again. all i wanted was a quiet pint after work .

Nice little pub that is worth the stroll up the high street. Friendly staff.

Called in here after having a meal a the local chineese. Great pub, with a lively atmosphere, the landlady rememberd us from our last visit just after lockdown. And was very helpful in getting us a taxi home, shame it's not more local to us, as we had a good evening 🙂

Better then expected after the things I was told about the landlady

I went to this pub thinking it would be a good night out but how mistaken was I, I walked in and the landlady was in my face telling me and my friends to get out as we wasn’t local customers, she is an embarrassment to the pub community and a drunk one at that. Never in my life have I come across such nasty vile behaviour she had a sign on one of the doors saying that it’s against the law to serve once over the limit…… well she need to take a leaf out her own book it appears

Walked In ordered a pint sat down , then out of no where land lady was screaming at her pregnant bar staff , very unprofessional very angry landlady will never visit here again Not just me who up and went most of the customers left too Avoid at all cost

Very busy!!, the night of the rugby between Wales and Scotland!! All seats occupied, many people standing!! Great atmosphere, staff were rushed off their feet, must have been tired, but didn't show it. A good night.

Me and my pals visited mold as it was a pals birthday, our pal is from Wrexham but thought we would have a change of scenery. We done all the pubs in mold and our last visit was this one. Got to say it was booming! It was last Saturday the music was great and so we're the staff, we were made to feel so welcome, even the landlady and bar staff were having a good old dance with us which I thought was amazing! Every pub we went to that night was not a shred on this one! We really enjoyed the night and will definitely be back. All of you keep up the good work!! 👍

A place for everything, pool, darts, and Even a quiz night. Super friendly and so enjoyable to be in. Must stop in

I visited The Griffin with friends the first week in January and saw the landlady abusing young drinkers who had entered the pub, they were causing no bother and had literally just walked in when the landlady who was looking a bit worse for wear at the time told them I'm not serving you so get out, when asked why as they all had ID they were told because I don't want your lot in my pub and went face to face with a young girl screaming in her face to get the f#£k out now. The youngsters left completely baffled by what had happened as did myself and my group of friends. I've never felt so embarrassed for someone else in my entire life and certainly won't be spending my money in that pub ever again and my friends feel exactly the same. It was as if the landlady was completely oblivious to her surroundings and that she was very drunk and abusive.

In all honesty one of the best pubs turned to the worst all due to the hands of one individual which sadly happens to be the landlady. Foul mouthed to say the least and that's on a good day, when she has had her glass or more inclined bottle of wine whilst working to the point regulors call her "wino" it can become unbearable. More often than not the way that none regular customers get treated is unbelievable if you aren't recognised and are young then you are instantly taking drugs and are not politely asked to leave even though they have only just walked through the door, to be hurled abuse at and at made to leave all for walking into her pub. Sadly, it isn't just none regulars she doesn't take a liking to, she has more often than not when she has had a argument with multiple of her locals and using her famous quote of 'it's my pub' when in fact she only manages it and at this rate why bother as you are purposely hurting your own business with this behaviour, less and less people are going there because of her and all of my family and friends refuse to drink there anymore, which is a shame as we did enjoy it here. There is no simpler way to put it other than avoid at all costs, there aren't many pubs to go to around here but I would rather have limited options than be a customer here under her management, which is a shame because it WAS one of the best.

Landlady has issues with alcohol herself so not much hope for the place really..I'd liken it to "The Jockey" from Shameless..but a bit rougher around the edges and a lot less classy

Great place to watch any sport. They follow the All Blacks’ famous ‘No D*** Heads policy’. Lovely people and great atmosphere. Looking forward to the Six Nations!

This pub has gone from strength to strength in the last few years. New landlady/landlord have made such a difference, love that they have quiz, karaoke and live music. This is a proper pub with a great atmosphere. Best pub in Mold I would say.

Great pub and atmosphere Julie and Andy always make you feel welcome. Beer always good. Have bands on. Great to see a pub doing so well.

Brilliant pub and staff the landlady does great charity for the local community and gets the customers involved. Mad as a box of frogs but she’s ace.

I would highly recommend staying away for this pub as you are made to feel very unwelcome by the land lady of the pub especially if your young

Amazing Pub, always made to feel welcome, Brilliant atmosphere with a lovely Landlady. By far the best Pub in Mold, it’s good to see place busy again after multiple failures over the past 10 years from previous management. If you want to visit a pub with great entertainment then get yourself to the Griffin and watch Jack perform! Absolutely amazing! Keep up the good work👍👍👍

The atmosphere in the pub overall seemed good at first as there was good music on. Unfortunately, when the very drunken landlady picked the microphone, she used terrible language as if it was just to be accepted. The obvious regulars and bar staff did not bat an eye lid as they are quite obviously used to it. Such as shame the landlady is so potty mouthed!!

We went to the Griffin as a group of family and friends, we went there for a drink before moving on to where we were going, we were served our drinks and sat down with no issue. One of the younger members of our group left the pub to meet her friend and when she returned she was met by the landlady who said she couldn’t come in as she had an under 21s policy… Bearing in mind she is eighteen and had previously been served ten minutes earlier.. Two other members of our group were also under the age of twenty one, so we had to leave without finishing our drinks due to one of our group not being allowed in! Unbelievable 😩

Ok pub but the blonde land lady how she thinks she can take people drinks of them like she did to me on Saturday even thou I'd paid for it is out of order, she really ruined my night definitely would not recommend there for anyone the blonde land lady what a horrible rude land lord she is

Absolutely awful experience with the people that own this place. The landlord decided to start an argument with me over football in which I was having banta with a friend of a friend and decided to but in. Would absolutely never return here again even though it being my local. I would much rather take my money elsewhere. Extremely rude. I think she just doesn’t like younger people within the pub even though they’re of age. Absolutely disgusting behaviour and I honestly don’t know how she owns a pub.

I met my husband in this pub we have so many fond memories and the locals became family to us , its always been our local through thick and thin . But since this new manger has took over 3/4 of the locals have left due to the alcoholic rude manger actions . She accused my son of being " trouble makers and drug addicts" because he fell in the under 25 category. We confronted the manger about this new rule she made up ! We have heard so any incidents I feel the need to write this review

I've seen alot of people run this pub from growing up nice people aswell you could have laughs with them brilliant times but as for the current ones are not very nice atall towards young and elderly people that the amount of abuse she gives is not except able she don't make you feel warming welcome she's always drinking her self to be honest I think she got a drink problem that is why she is nasty towards customers something needs to be done about this disaster and put this pub back to what it was once happy place were people youn and the elderly can enjoy them selfs on a night out or after work

The landlady is a raging alcoholic who drinks 3 bottles of wine a night and proudly goes by the nickname "wino" who has a well documented history of abusing customers whilst intoxicated herself while working behind the bar

I have been going to this pub all of my life and never had any bother from the management or staff ..then this new manager takes over I have seen enough vile abuse towards the many young members of staff that have come and gone...

Awful manager, she's rude and obnoxious! No skills at all to run a local pub or any business. This pub had been our local for years until this manager arrived, It was a fantastic pub full of great family and friends who have since stopped...

Good atmosphere, good band and friendly people

What used to be one of the best places for a quiet pint has gone massively downhill due to a drunk obnoxious landlady. If you want to feel as tho someone looks down on you this is the place to go. She even slags off...

Good pub. Have a good selection of beers. And most weekends a live band or karaoke.

Not a nice place at all. Customers are OK but the landlady or manageress is just horrible. Foul mouthed, think she had maybe had a few too many herself. If you want a rough and ready pint then go for it. If you are a...

First time visiting on Saturday to watch a live band. Place was heaving, but the landlady and bar staff kept calm and where brilliant. I witnessed the landlady being attacked off a customer, which i thought was disgusting. But the landlady defused the situation and ejected the girl.

Brilliant pub, landlady is amazing and looks after her customers. She doesn’t let ldiots In and gets rid of anyone causing trouble, making sure her customers are safe at all times. I love coming to this place.

The best pub in mold landlady best ever would recommend coming here family atmosphere always be here for mr andy brilliant lad

The landlord is an absolute lunatic and shouldn’t be allowed to run a pub she needs help, stay away from this crazy woman, plenty more lovely pubs in mold,

This pub is my lovely local, me and my partner love coming here! Landlord and staff are amazing and kind! Would definitely recommend!

Friendly owner lively when we went Wednesday afternoon, reasonable prices for decent beer

Friendly pub. Inexpensive but was lacking draft ale.

Karaoke Wednesday break great crowd, Julie salt of the earth.

Lovely land lady!! Very welcoming always great selection entertainment on weekdays and weekends are just the best!!

Being local to the area for many years and having close family members being regulars at this pub the last thing I expected was the welcome we were given, my partner who isn’t local came to visit me where we went for a lovely meal and decided to go meet family at the Griffin. Upon my partner going to get drinks with a family member he was rudely welcomed and discriminated against for wearing a man bag (this isn’t stated anywhere on or outside the premises) and told he could only have one drink and would be closely monitored throughout the night .feeling uncomfortable we only stayed no longer than 45 minutes and he only had ONE drink which we wouldn’t have had only it was a family members purchase. Being a landlord himself back in England he understands the rules and regulations and pays to have SIA licensed doormen to ensure safety of his customers. He provided ID and then told the lady what he had in his bag as she had stated the pub have had troubles previously with drugs hence their reasoning for not allowing people with man bags into the pub .why didn’t she ask myself what I had in my bag as I also had a clutch bag and I feel it’s the same concept.I saw no one else being questioned about their belongings , however I feel this was due to them being locals and feel he was discriminated against. This is very disappointing and upsetting considering this was a favoured pub of most my family.

Mold seemed to close down very early tonight- nowhere open after midnight. The landlady immediately started shouting at us when we arrived saying “go back to where you come from”- entire group from Mold?! Then told us they were offended that we had come because other places in town were closed. Explained we have been here lots of time before but landlady stormed off and closed bar down immediately. Really weird experience. Often go here but won’t bother again. Owners are thick as anything! 😂 Edit to respond Literally didn’t happen and took a month to make up the weak lie of a response- pathetic as you were at the time

Unfortunately a no from me being told because I have a man bag and look young I was not welcome , now I can understand young people with man bags could possibly have drugs etc however providing ID as requested and then having attitude from staff member was not a welcome I wanted never once did i come across rude a simple unfortunately I’m not going to serve you would of been fine and I would of left . As a non local person it wasn’t a nice experience I guess it’s just a local pub and not so welcoming to outsiders but I must say the customers are nice people hence 2 stars . This is just my experience not to say yours might be the same its all down to personal preferences and your experience within the pub .

Very welcoming pub! Good range of beers and gins.

Nice pub shame about the landlady

Disgusting service. Manager is a miserable horrible lady and used physical force against me and my wife when kicking us out the pub half an hour before close.

Great place , staff most welcoming , live sports , entertainment all good

i came to visit my family in mold, so me and my cousin went for a few drinks in the centre because hes back to the army on tuesday, we started at weatherspoons, lovely service ect, so we left and tried to find another local pub, we walked to the griffin because we heard music and a lively atmosphere, we walked in i asked for 2 pints of moretti, the blonde haired landlady or employee, looked at me and said no! Attitude was discusting, as we had never been to this town for drinks or ever stepped in the griffin, i asked her whats the problem? She replied with, " i dont have to have a reason to not serve you " whilst waving her hand like some power trip, so we left, the mentallity of her was of a sheep, very hostile and unessaray, will not put money into somebodys till so rude, if i was you dont bother unless you like beeing talked down to and beeing embarssed infront of other customers, and we was not drunk or behaving in any type of way silly little girl.

Good beer and music and reasonable prices

Great night , fabulous duo " The Jersey Boys "

Best pub in Mold by far.Super friendly staff, brilliant atmosphere . Live music on a Friday night is fantastic. We will definitely be back.

Excellent service great landlady very welcoming

Friendly atmosphere, good service and quality ale.

I have been in-frequently visiting the Griffin for the past 8 years on my visits to Mold from overseas to visit family. In the past couple of years, I’ve seen a noticeable shift in the overall level of cleanliness of the pub, however the toilets in particularly are always very clean. It’s clear that great pride is taken by the owners in the way they present the pub. I’ve always received a warm welcome by the landlady Julie, and some of the regular customers alike. A great local pub, with a true sense of community.

Very friendly, great pub for a Saturday afternoon and great value too!

Good proper local pub,,, Beers were very nice,,

Very nice place and friendly too, recommend you try this place out for your self's.

Appreciate there are rules for covid but asking a near 60 year old man for ID to prove his track and trace details were correct is going beyond. Told abruptly to wait to be seated when the place was empty them being served a pint...

Top quality service, with the friendliest of staff welcoming you. The added bonus is that they have the cheapest pints in Mold. Couldn't recommend highly enough.

Great service and friendly welcome

Very pleasant surroundings and helpful staff

I felt so safe in this pub. From walking in doingtrack and trace. Pub was spotless. Landlady explained the one way system and she made us feel very welcome. Would definitely be visiting here again very soon.

We had booked to watch Wales in the Euro’s. Both of us are mask exempt- we were made to feel very unwelcome as soon as we stepped in- told we NEEDED to show proof of exemption and sign in of the NHS app- both statements are false. Then told we could sit anywhere outside- then this change to 1 table inside (right infront of the bar) I refuse to spend any money in any establishment with such discriminatory behaviour- I will NEVER step foot in there again!

Made to feel very unwelcome as soon as we stepped foot in the door. Immediately asked for proof of exemption of masks. Then forcefully asked to register with the NHS app. We were then told that we can have a table outside to then be...

Ignore the blonde woman who parades around the place owning the karoake! Aggressive, rude, and she’s put me off going back!

Been here for the past couple of weeks , especially to the Karaoke with the brilliant Tony. Lovely Landlady and staff and made to feel very welcome from the start. Great atmosphere , so get down for a great night out.

Just had a girlie afternoon and came to the karaoke at the griffin. What an amazing afternoon. It was lovely to see the older generation of our community coming together and reminiscing on the songs from their time. Xx
