Griffin Gastropub

Top choice in Muskoka Lakes


Tucked into an alley just off the main drag, this small British-style pub serves up hearty, locally sourced meals – the charcuterie board is ah-mazing – and a well-chosen lineup of craft beers and cider. Trivia nights on weekdays and live music on weekends make this a local fave.
