Grafton Street Pub and Grill

Grafton Street Pub & Grill has been a Harvard Square staple since 1996, blending traditional Irish pub vibes with a modern dining twist. Located right at the entrance of Harvard Square, it takes its name from Dublin’s lively Grafton Street. The menu offers a thoughtful mix of Irish and American dishes, like shepherd’s pie and a classic cheeseburger. A standout feature is the free validated parking in the nearby garage after 4 PM, a rare convenience in the bustling streets of Cambridge. This perk makes it easier to enjoy your visit without the usual parking hassle.
