I stopped by for St. Patrick's Day. The fries was tasty and the dipping sauce was also delicious. The drinks were great. The atmosphere was nice.

the bartender had a real attitude, and was condescending, was not helpful and told me i needed to order a minimum of two drinks AFTER he took my card and tried to lie to me saying i ordered four drinks when i only asked for one. there’s other reviews here saying the staff are not friendly to poc and he definitely gave me that impression. Another bartender later helped me with my tab and he said nothing about the two drink minimum and I paid for my one drink.

What a sports bar should be, the staff are on it as well. The food is surprisingly good, was expecting the usual bar adjacent food, but it’s good separate from the bar!

Excellent ambiance, service, and food. The staff are especially wonderful and treat you like family. It can get pretty busy for certain sporting events, especially college football, but even then, everyone is very accommodating to requests. Reservations help, the owner/managers will get back to you promptly and make sure you are pleased. They have one of the best burgers in the neighborhood, and their avocado toast for brunch is uniquely delicious.

Great bar! 10/10 would recommend! The bartenders and waitstaff are the nicest and I highly recommend the back patio when the weather is nice! Also the chicken Caesar wrap is gas

If you don't want to be discriminated against as a person of color I highly suggest staying away from this place. I went in there with my service dog and was told by staff and management that it was fine as long as he was not barking, which he wasn't. Once I was seated and ready to order the owner decided to come up and call me out Infront of everyone and said I needed to leave with my dog and if I could not provide a card for my service animal, which is illegal in NYC to ask as a business owner. This incident however, is not the first time I was met with hostility by staff and management at Grafton. So please be cautious if you are a person of color or a dog owner when going there.

I had the most inappropriate interaction with the host on Saturday afternoon.

I was with my boyfriend and my service dog about to meet some friends on the back garden and the hostels repeatedly told me that my dog was not allowed.

I told her he was a service dog but that wasn’t not enough so she pulled a document and held the line to ask me what disability i had from the list of the ones approved form the NyC department of health.

After i explained what was my disability i had to show my dog documentation and finally was granted access.

The beer was great but the service terrible.

All I can say is, do not get The Bartender’s Choice. It’s listed under “beer and shot specials” and the guy pours three shots. I tell him isn’t it a beer and a shot and show him the menu, he says well it’s my choice so it’s just a shot.

Don’t come here, maybe he’s technically correct and it’s funny in theory, but the other options on the same menu were beer and a shot, he was an asshole about it so I certainly won’t be back. Thanks for the shitty pour of absolut for $7 each.

Dishonest & not POC friendly -- white "bartender" with the dad hat & flannel had an incredibly condescending attitude and purposely overcharged us.

My friend and I sat at the bar while it was only half-full, but he served three parties that came after us (all white) before we could get his attention (he was side-eyeing us the entire time). He was purposely difficult when we were telling him the names of our orders, and pretended not to understand us ordering shots.

We ordered 2 drinks (The Village Tart & The Rich Man are $14 each) + 1 tequila shot, and he charged us $73 ...girl be for real. We were sober during all of this, and have a photo of the machine to prove it. Absolute garbage excuse of a sports pub in the EV.

I literally never leave Google reviews but the way he treated my friend just didn't sit right with me. Lame vibes and lame crowd ? ?

This is a very inconsiderate establishment which creates an unconconcilable amount of noise from its patrons
