Originally opened in October of 1996, Grafton Street Pub & Grill has been a beloved institution of Harvard Square for nearly a decade. Located at 1230 Massachusetts Avenue - the Gateway of Harvard Square - this neighborhood hotspot is named after the spirited cobblestone-lined shopping district in Dublin's famed Temple Bar area. Grafton Street deftly combines a traditional Irish pub's warmth and coziness with a contemporary and comfortable full service restaurant.

Formerly located at 1280 Massachusetts Avenue, Grafton Street relocated in June of 2002. The relocation afforded owners Patrick Lee, Peter Lee, Gerry Sheerin and Sean Kennedy a much larger floor plan with enhanced views of the Square, and only a block away from the original site.
