A good old fashioned pub with reasonably priced good ale and a commitment to provide entertainment for its customers (live music and presumably comedy). If this is the sort of pub you like, switch off Netflix, put down that Deliveroo pizza and spend some time and money there - they are disappearing at an alarming rate.
Coziest pub in Manchester. Great music and friendly atmosphere. Bar staff are lovely!
Seems to be an independent ale called Crystal. Very gassy, but light and refreshing. Staff are great. City pub, so good for a pre-match pint.
Had an amazing time during a pre-drinks session before we attended a metal concert in the academy, really enjoyed the hospitality, good prices and available area outdoors.
Staff were awesome and genuine :-) thanks for a great time!
Cheap beer , karaoke 4-7pm no heirs and graces, just a good old-fashioned pub.
Most welcoming pub in Manchester, the landlady Sarah has created a top environment for all. Best pub quiz I’ve been to on Wednesday and live music throughout the week, great atmosphere for live sport. No better place to watch the women’s world cup this summer!!
If you’re looking for community, this is the place. Punters old and young alike, Sarah the landlady has created such an inclusive atmosphere at the Grafton, you can only feel welcome. Not only that but it’s a great venue for live music, sport and there’s a great quiz every Wednesday, not your usual quiz night, gets everyone in and is a real laugh!
Can’t recommend this place, Sarah and her team enough!
Oh and there’s pizza (other food too but pizza)
Top venue. Hosted a Slamming Brutal Death Metal gig last minute on halloween. The sound was absolutely top notch. Massive respect for the Grafton Arms
They have banging open mic nights on Tuesdays. Prices aren't too bad and the regulars are mostly real friendly.
10/10 would recommend. Great atmosphere, cheap prices and friendly staff. Quiz on a Wednesday is always a fun time, also a really good place to watch sports. Good selection of food and drinks
Amazing food welcoming and friendly land lady and bar staff have different events and live music happening great prices for beers in and around town would highly recommend popping in
Good wee pub with good service. Didn't eat here, so can't comment on the food, but it was friendly and welcoming, good range of drinks available and prices seemed reasonable. Was unusual to find a pub adjacent to an Accident & Emergency department, but maybe that comes in useful at times.
The Grafton Arms is a totally unique experience with everything required for a great night out - its brimming full of atmosphere, where the food and drink are top class, and the personalities and entertainment are second to none !!!
Lovely staff, especially Michelle. Reasonably priced drinks. Good karaoke on a Thursday afternoon. Friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Pool table in reasonable condition too. And horse racing on the telly for the boys. Definitely recommended. Lost one star for limited food options & no New Zealand Sauvignon blanc (my fave wine), but the spiced rum & diet coke I had instead was yummy. Thanks ❤️
Nice pub with good beers at reasonable prices - also lots of live music there like gigs, open mics and jam nights that are always well attended and good fun
If you're looking for a proper pub in Manchester here's the place. With reasonable prices, friendly staff and locals, a decent pool table and a good quiz night every Wednesday - what's not to like!
Great traditional pub, Nice vibe, chilled venue, great selection of booze. The food is great as well, big portions, great value for money. The new managers Sarah and Lawrence are awesome and so are the staff. Customer service at it's best. Highly recommend the Grafton Arms.
Went to a gig night here Friday. It was a great night with fab atmosphere and great beers on tap. Later on I managed to lose a bag with some valuable items in there and Sara and the team were really helpful and enabled the Uber driver to return the bag to them the following week so I could collect it safely from them. Can't ask for more. Really helpful, honest staff and a good solid traditional Manchester Pub. Thanks again
