Griffin Inn

You'll find yourself in a genuine local's pub here—the kind of place where regulars actually outnumber tourists, which, let's be honest, is most of Mold. The Griffin sits comfortably on the Mold Road stretch heading towards Mynydd Isa, all warm lighting and the sort of worn-in atmosphere that takes years to build. They take their food seriously enough that people make the journey specifically for a meal, but it never feels stuffy or trying too hard. Real ales, decent wines, and the kind of unpretentious cooking that actually tastes like someone cares about flavour rather than Instagram appeal.
