"Having a clear line of sight to the TV is rarely a guarantee inside at sports bars. But that’s not an issue at The Grafton, as each of the picnic tables in front of this East Village sports bar has its own TV. They also have TVs in their backyard, with reservations available by email. Pick any NFL game you want, and they’ll put it on. And they take soccer and rugby pretty seriously as well." - matt tervooren

Where To Watch Sports Outside In NYC

"The thing about sports is, they’re often played in the middle of the day. And while we love buffalo wings as much as anyone, we don’t always want to eat them at 11am. Fortunately, The Grafton serves weekend brunch, so you can pair an Irish breakfast with your Irish coffee while watching European soccer, Irish or otherwise." - Matt Tervooren

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.

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.

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.

We came down to watch the game and were welcomed and had a great morning. We did not have any food but what we saw looked good, the beer was delicious and the service excellent though. A great place to visit if you want an LFC game while in New York.

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

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.

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.
