Due to the rising concerns and growing steps taken to prevent the spread of the Corona Virus, the Griswold Inn has cancelled tomorrow night’s St-Pats dinner and all events for the foreseeable future.  So, Monday nights are going dark for the time being.  Both the Griswold Inn and we – The Jovial Crew – are saddened that current events have forced our hand.  Please, please stay safe and healthy, and with luck and our collective perseverance, we will all come out healthy on the other end and have reason to resume and celebrate!  Wash your hands and keep home!

As of today – Friday the 13th (a good luck day for me, historically) –  The Griswold Inn plans to move forward with its St-Pats dinner and show on Tuesday, the 17th, 7p to 10:30p.  Use your best judgement: should you feel ill in the slightest, you may wish to celebrate from home.  But we plan to continue on as long as the event isn’t cancelled.  If it is, we’ll post the news here and on Social Media.  Otherwise, proceed as normally!

This Sunday – the 15th March – our show at Cafe Nine has been postponed due to the St-Pat’s Parade New Haven being postponed.  A new date is being considered: stay tuned.

We’re playing the High Nine Brewery in Deep River this Thursday, the 5th, from 6:30 to 9:30p!  Terrific space and beers!  Come on down and enjoy it with us!

Valentine’s Day will be the very day after our Monday show… So come on down and express your romantical side!  Wear something sweet, sing to your sweetie, show us some love!

All hail the new year!  We’re back to our normal schedule, starting at 8 and going to 11.  See you soon!

By now a traditional repost…   OUR Christmas will be Monday the 23d!  Most people dress up for the occasion; some in formal attire, some in ugly holiday sweaters.  And don’t forget that all of December we begin a little late in order to make room for the wandering carolers.

Oh Griswold Tree, Oh Griswold Tree
Upon the coal stove eternally.
Oh Griswold Tree, Oh Griswold Tree
A relic from antiquity
For Christmastide and St-Patrick’s spray
For Mother’s and for Groundhog Day
Oh Griswold Tree, Oh Griswold Tree
In every tap room photo be!

(Jos. Morneault – Noel 1997)

We’re so pleased that you chose to spend your Monday evenings with us!  And have a happy and safe Thanksgiving.
