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 opening in 1996. With tones of cream, beige and brown, accented by black trim, the spacious dining room combines a traditional Irish pub's warmth and coziness with a contemporary and comfortable environment.

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 pizza.
