The Grafton

"I have come here so many times and Amanda has been the best waitress I’ve had in so long. She’s sweet, attentive, and makes us feel like VIP even when it’s packed and she can barely weave through the the crowd. Never had a bad experience with any staff, but we come back to see her she makes our experience more enjoyable and like we are at home. Love this bar (and Amanda) so much!"

"What a nice welcome to NYC. I walked east village for an hour looking for an approachable bar for a solo female not trying to be bothered, and this one sold me on the atmosphere. So, I found the one seat left at the bar and drank some beer while everyone cheered on the Bills. Turns out, the bartenders are incredibly nice and ended up giving me a beer on the house. Also has a very clean bathroom lol. I'll be returning for sure."

"Went on Wednesday, place was not full, We had real good bar burgers cooked perfectly with great crispy fries. Buffalo cauliflower was tasty. Sports on TV, friendly bartender and cold beer rounded out a nice time."

"Went here to watch the rugby World Cup. I was a little unpleasantly surprised that there was a $15 card minimum when I just wanted one pint. The seating area in the back (the only two TVs where the game was shown) was also liable to a ton of foot traffic and maybe once a minute a worker would have to bump into me to walk through. I know it’s NY and its small and cramped but honestly would give this place a miss"

"They play the sports. Great at accommodating the rugby that we wanted to watch. staff were fantastic. good vibe all round"
