Grafton Pub

I’ve been waiting a while for the food menu to come back. It was drinks-only for a while during the pandemic. So I was pleased to see the kitchen was open on my last visit. For drinks, they have a couple of the usual Irish selections, like Guinness and Magners. They pour the former correctly, so it comes out with a nice head. However, that’s basically where the UK beers stop. The rest is American craft beers, many of them local. I feel like I can get those at any bar or restaurant in the area; I go to Irish pubs for beers from the Kingdom. It would be great to see a better selection of those. As for the food, there are a few Irish-inspired dishes, but mostly not. Mostly the app has American apps, salads, sandwiches, and desserts. Nevertheless, a few things looked good to me. I was having trouble deciding between the curds, spice bag, and burger. I ended up with the burger and it was really solid. The fries in particular were delicious. They tasted like they may have been fried in beef fat and were salty and crispy. Overall, I prefer the burger at Warbler across the street, but this could be a regular drinking place of mine if it got a better selection of UK beers.

Good Irish Bar near Lincoln Square area. Went here during the St. Patrick’s day week and it was very happening. ☘️ They have lots of tables so you won’t have to wait for long to find a table. Good service and ambiance it great. Musical instruments everywhere and music being played in the background. We had Irish whiskeys, fish and chips, wings and a couple of cocktails. Overall a good experience.

This place has turned a new leaf! Since the new management they have legit gourmet food. Amazing for vegetarians! Their impossible burger is the best in the city - I hear people send it back thinking it’s meat! The veggie spice bag is hearty, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. All of their cocktails are top notch too. This is my go to pub.

Place is nice on the inside, with a beautiful bar. We went to have a beer after a street fest and the place was empty it is very unassuming from the outside, they need to.make the entrance more welcoming. I think I would open the whole.fromt up so you could just walk right and make it feel less dark.

Attentive wait staff, and good food, though limited offerings. The shepherd's pie is wonderful. We've gone here multiple times before attending a performance next door at Old Town School. We don't drink, but The Grafton appears to have a wealth of brews available. The bathrooms could use a significant upgrade, however.
