Pros
Pro Integrates well with Java
This link adds some interesting points explaining how Groovy integrates better with Java than e.g. Scala. If you want to write classes that can be consumed by Java classes, or easily consume existing Java code, Groovy is probably a pretty wise choice. It can be statically compiled and supports optional typing, which makes it much more maintainable for larger projects than e.g. JRuby.

Apache Groovy

For me it seems that groovy removes all the verbosity from Java. You can just use Groovy instead of Java most of the time as Groovy pretty much works with the Java syntax, but you can also work much faster with groovy specific syntax.
