Established in 1965, Griff’s claims to be Houston’s “oldest surviving sports bar,” which sounds right. One thing we know for sure: It’s our favorite sports bar. We attribute that in large part to the friendly neighborhood vibe, but there’s also the 22 TVs, every NFL game and a happy hour that makes us very happy. For the real die-hard sports fans, there’s Griff’s Army, whose brave soldiers hop onto the bar’s party bus to check out the games. Also, check out trivia night every Thursday. With great drink specials and friendly patrons and staff, it won’t be long before you’re a regular.
