Grafton Street Pub

About

Grafton Street Pub & Grill is a Harvard Square restaurant that blends the warmth and coziness of a traditional Irish pub with a contemporary, comfortable full-service dining room. It takes its name from Grafton Street, the cobblestone-lined shopping district in Dublin, and it has been a fixture of the square for more than 25 years, serving as a neighborhood spot where people gather over food and drinks.

After more than two decades on Massachusetts Avenue, the pub moved in March 2022 to a new home on lower JFK Street, an area it calls the gateway of Harvard Square. The current location sits just steps from the Red Line MBTA station and the Charles River, which makes it easy to reach by transit and close to the riverbank for a walk before or after a meal.
