Grafton Street

Named after the spirited cobblestone-lined shopping district in Dublin's famed Temple Bar area, Grafton Street Pub & Grill has been a beloved institution of Harvard Square since its first incarnation opened on Mass Ave in 1996. Now in new digs on JFK Street, it continues to delight locals and visitors alike.

With an eclectic array of varied seating and dining options – from communal tables and oversized banquettes to casual groupings of leather armchairs and comfortable sofas – Grafton encourages groups as small as four and as large as 40 to sit, dine, drink and linger. The atmosphere is casual and inviting for old friends catching up, professionals having lively group dinners and everyone in between.

Grafton Street’s dinner, lunch and brunch menus feature contemporary American cuisine from hearty meat and poultry offerings to delicate seafood dishes, inventive appetizers and salads, as well as more casual fare like burgers and sandwiches (including the not-to-be-missed fried chicken sandwich).
