Grafton Street Pub & Grill

I love this place. The food is great for meat eaters or vegetarians alike. It's usually pretty busy, but you can sit at the bar while waiting for a table (you can also decide to just eat at the bar if you prefer). My most recent visit was longest I've ever waited for a table at Grafton (25 mins) BUT it was at 8pm on a Saturday night, so it was date-night prime time. They have great service; I'm a slow eater & I know that wait staff rely on table turnover to make money, but they didn't rush us at ALL! I was really pleasantly surprised by this. Because I'm a slow eater I'm a big tipper; these guys got an even bigger tip for not rushing us. I usually don't like busy, loud restaurants, because I want to be able to chit chat with my friend and not yell, but surprisingly, despite being fairly crowded on a Saturday night it wasn't all that loud. We were comfortable, the food was great as always, great service, not rushed.... 5 stars all around! As I always point out in my reviews when applicable, going here supports a small, independently owned, local business.

Great little spot close to Harvard Yard. Amazing list of craft offerings local and beyond. Food was delicious. Ambiance and layout of bar area much better than restaurant.

Stopped by here for a drink. Grafton Street is a fun, spacious bar and restaurant right in Harvard Square. It’s got a good vibe, nice staff and cold beer. Our server was attentive and nice. Overall a good spot.

The resturant had nice aesthetics I like that they have outside tables and open windows when the weather gets nice. The food was okay. I didn't get a chance to get a cocktail so I am willing to give this place a second chance.

Fun atmosphere and good service. We went for brunch, which was good but not amazing. Pancakes were good as was the contents of the egg sandwich, but it served on a day-old bagel. A bonus is that the place doesn't start to fill up until close to noon.
