    Us open and bar
    Lizzie S.

    Friends and I wanted a place to watch the US Open at night and this place was it! Nice atmosphere. Was busy and women patrons were singing Taylor Swift (as they should.) The Grafton's playlist was hit after hit of songs from our high school and middle school days--lots of throwbacks, boy bands, and karaoke choices. This made the atmosphere electric and fun--it seemed to skew younger, even though it is a sports bar? There were quite a few TVs with other sports on as well at the same time. I had a White Claw, friends had beers. Bartenders were kind.

    Dishonest & not POC friendly -- white "bartender" with the dad hat & flannel had an incredibly condescending attitude and purposely overcharged us. My friend and I sat at the bar while it was only half-full, but he served three parties that came after us (all white) before we could get his attention (he was side-eyeing us the entire time). He was purposely difficult when we were telling him the names of our orders, and pretended not to understand us ordering shots. We ordered 2 drinks (The Village Tart & The Rich Man are $14 each) + 1 tequila shot, and he charged us $73 ...girl be for real. We were sober during all of this, and have a photo of the machine to prove it. Absolute garbage excuse of a sports pub in the EV. I literally never leave reviews but the way he treated my friend just didn't sit right with me. Lame vibes and lame crowd

    Irish breakfast

    The Grafton is an Irish restaurant so I visited it on St. Patrick's Day weekend. The food was decent. My friend found the fish and chips to be a bit greasy but the fries were great. There are tables outside with individual TVs so you can watch sports games with friends.

    Came here for a few beers after dinner and watch the Rangers playoff game. Super fun crowd and very attentive bartenders. Didn't eat but I'm looking around I am excited to come back and eat!! Reason for the four stars is someone needs to figure out the bathroom situation.

    I'm totally in love with the Grafton. They definitely have the best Buffalo wings in the neighborhood and arguably some of the best in the city. They are always crispy, sauce is just the right amount of spicy and tangy, and their blue cheese is divine. I also recommend their fries which are always cooked to perfection..pretty sure anything that comes out of their fryer will be good. The Grafton is also one of the best places to watch sports, especially football/soccer. Their back courtyard is the perfect place is hang with friends, drink outside, and catch a game. Their staff is also incredibly nice and they truly appreciate their regulars. Can't say enough good things about this place and always recommend it to friends. Love you Grafton

    Chicken caesar wrap

    American sports bar with decently priced and traditional bar food and drinks, and personal TVs for select sports.   I came here on a Sunday afternoon to watch the Chelsea / Tottenham game with a friend. We were seated in an area right behind the bar seating (similar to bar seating with wooden stools but just not next to the bar) fairly quickly without a reservation (reservations were only accepted for parties of 4+ during the weekends). The main attraction of the bar for me was the personal TVs in the outdoor seating area, but these TVs only play certain games so I would recommend calling in advance if you're coming just for this perk. The bar is separated into sections if multiple sports / games are playing at the same time so there isn't much flexibility in terms of seating, and the area we were located was relatively cramped. The bar overall was clean with rustic design (brick walls and framed pictures), and we had a clear view of the TV with an acceptable noise level to hear the commentators and talk to my friend.   The menu features traditional bar food (fish & chips, burgers, chicken wings / wraps, salads, etc.) in the mid-teens price range and drinks (mostly popular draft and canned beers) in the high single digit price range. My friend and I opted to share the fish & chips and the chicken caeser wrap (in addition to my pint of Blue Moon), both of which came relatively quickly and were delicious and well cooked. Service could have been slightly faster, but servers were overall welcoming and attentive.   Overall, good, traditional American sports bar to watch a game with friends with acceptable service, food, drinks, and ambience at standard prices, but with the potential to be cramped if a reservation for a personal TV is not made in advance.

    Here's the layout: blue moons, wings with blue cheese and ranch, fish tacos

    First time at Wilka's and I came in for a watch party while it was snowing!…read more The person at the door and the food runner were sweathearts but the bartenders were a little over their heads. I showed up an hour and a half early before the event I went to "started", got a seat at the short (Ada compliant) bar and settled in to grab a drink or two before everything started. It took 45 mins for someone (2 people were working) to actually make it down to our side on the bar, everyone I was sitting with, including the tables, wanted to order. The girls next to me said they got there 15 mins before me. If I wasn't here specifically to watch a show with other people in my community I would have left. An hour for a drink!?!?! I took it on the chin and just ordered 2 drinks, which was great because an hour and a half (we ordered the second time after the show started) later they finally came back. Not sure if I would end up coming back, which is sad because I love a watching professional women's sports and this place was made for it but not worth the wait times.

The staff here is friendly and there were plenty of screens to watch the game. This place did get very packed so be warned that you'll have to get here early to grab a table. The atmosphere was incredible and so friendly. The food is also great - we had the vegan sliders which were so good and spicy and ground chickpea panini which was also delicious. Definitely go there for any of your women's sports watching!
