Pub grub, pints, and plenty of TVs for catching the game.
"During playoff time for the Knicks and Yankees, The Grafton in the East Village becomes one of the most coveted tables in town. Cheers echo through their backyard, where throngs of people drink pints of lager and eat some well-above-average bar food. On a normal day, it’s just a great spot to hang out and casually watch a game, preferably in that semi-covered backyard. It’s also a great spot to watch European soccer matches on weekend mornings. $30 pitchers of their Grafton lager" - will hartman, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim
"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
"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
"Make your way to the East Village to catch Premier League and rugby games aplenty. We hear the waffle fries are pretty addictive, but not as much as the rush you’ll get from watching talented footballers do their thing." - Perri Ormont Blumberg
