About Grace's

Located at the intersection of Chelsea and the West Village on 14th Street, Grace’s is a traditional Irish pub that prioritizes hospitality and neighborhood community. The atmosphere is unpretentious and warm, styled after classic Dublin locals where guests are encouraged to leave their daily stresses at the door. It serves as a reliable anchor in the neighborhood for those seeking a perfectly poured stout, premium Irish whiskeys, or a well-crafted cocktail.

The culinary program at Grace's centers on family recipes that blend authentic Irish roots with American sensibilities. This makes the venue particularly well-suited for private events that require a cozy, familiar feel rather than a stiff, formal environment.
