Originally opened in 1996, Grafton Street Pub & Grill has been a beloved institution of Harvard Square for more than a decade. This neighborhood hotspot is named after the spirited cobblestone-lined shopping district in Dublin’s famed Temple Bar area. Grafton Street deftly combines the warmth and coziness of a traditional neighborhood pub with the aesthetic of a contemporary restaurant. Formerly located at 1280 Massachusetts Avenue, Grafton Street relocated in June of 2002. The relocation afforded owners Patrick Lee, Peter Lee, Gerry Sheerin and Sean Kennedy a much larger floor plan with enhanced views of the Square, and only a block away from the original site.The 5,000 square foot space revels in tones of cream, beige and brown, complemented by black trim, yielding what is a well — designed but inherently relaxed space. During the summer months, guests can enjoy al fresco dining on Grafton Street’s spacious sidewalk patio. The restaurant offers full bar service and boasts a seasonally-changing wine list, as well as a robust selection of craft beers from several local breweries Well-placed drapes and unique table arrangements enable diners to have a relatively private experience in the midst of the lively restaurant. Perhap the most notable source of Grafton Street's pulse are the French doors> spanning the front of the restaurant, allowing the vibrancy of Harvard Square to emanate throughout the restaurant.

Grafton Street's Pub menu of stylish comfort is perfect for dinners in need of a simple snack or a more fulfilling meal. Grafton Street Pubs Executive Chef Scott Robertson serves up contemporary American cuisine for lunch and dinner seven days a week. Enjoy the local flavors with starters that include but are definitely not limited to panko-crusted Maine crab cakes and steamed mussels in a savory white bean and fennel stew. Grafton Street Pub main menu has some favorites you won’t be able to resist, including Dublin-style fish and chips, rosemary lamb tips and a grilled Angus burger. Take a little bit of a change on their entrees with a little kick to them, like pepper-rubbed tuna steak with wasabi mashed potatoes or pan-seared duck breast that's served over sweet potato risotto. After all that delectable food, you might need a cold one. The bustling bar boasts an extensive selection of beer, wine, liquor, and features several signature cocktails created exclusively by award-winning Grafton Street mixologists.
