The Boozy Griffin - My Review

It was the 47th FBAB meet up and i was invited by FBAB to be a part of the menu tasting event with "The Boozy Griffin" - a mighty one.. Firstly the name "The Boozy Griffin" interested me a lot to explore it, a kicky name isn't it???.  Griffin is a mighty and a legendary creature with the body, tail and back legs of a lion, the head and wings of an eagle and an eagles talons as its front feet..

The Boozy Griffin is perfectly located in a multi storied building in the outer ring road, Great place and an awesome Britain themed pub in Marathahalli,  A great boon to people working in this stretch, you can be void of traffic and enjoy yourself in this boozy pub.. 

Ambience: 

The first thing that catches your eyes once you enter this place is the britian themed sofas, comfy couches, the rustic bricked walls, dim lit ambience all over with all booze going around, high seating chairs, happy voices, a cute lil electric red telephone booth which is completely sound proof to attend your phone calls... Catchy idea it is right???.. This is the ambience with the non-smoking area.. 

Just walk in a stretch and you find huge glassed doors, once you push the door you enter into a smoking zone with decors like a huge clock, steal sofa seaters with a garden ambience, an eye catching big image of the famous comic actor "Charlie Chaplin". One side of this area is completely glass worked so that you can see the view of the busy bustling outer ring road..

Food & Drinks:

Mocktail : I ordered their Shangai Sunrise - a sunrise colored drink rimmed with sugar crystals,  A sweet and refreshing drink made with pineapple and orange juices with a hint of strawberry topped with ginger ale. I loved this fruity drink.
