I love it here! Gets really crowded during happy hour but place is huge. I love their games and their pool tables. Great place to watch a game. Tvs everywhere! 3 floors! Every floor is really big. Great place to meet with friends. A lot of tourists tho, but its all good. Still like coming here

Great atmosphere for games. This is a Badger bar for Wisconsin college game days. They even have a Wisconsin menu during games that has cheese curds!! I went here for March Madness game and the place was packed. The waitress we had was super friendly and the staff were great getting our food and drinks pretty quickly given how many people were there. I would definitely come back again for the cheese curds even if the Badgers are not playing.

If youre a coffee connoisseur, youll notice the supreme shots compared to the burnt shots youve forced your mouth to accept from star-bucks. Great atmosphere.

Wandered in here, after hitting a few spots in the neighborhood, to catch the first half of an NFL playoff game. Great spot to catch the game with numerous flat screens, a lively atmosphere and a long full service bar. We didnt eat but the food looked and smelled tasty. We ended up staying for the whole game and had a great night. Definitely will return when we get back to the village!

Great place to watch sporting events and grab a bite to eat. Good food selection and good service. It does get crowded if you need a table put your name on the waiting list. Dj plays a good set list.

Excellent taco Tuesday experience! After 7 you get $2 chicken tacos that were absolutely delicious as well as $5 select draft beers. Elam was a great bartender, will definitely be backIn the picture you’ll see the lettuce wrapped chicken tacos we got as an appetizer. Amazing

Upon searching for best sports bars in the area, we found ourselves calling the Grayson to see if they will be showing the Wimbledon semis. Once we arrived we were greeted by the bartender Josh. He was so nice and personable turns out he also likes Tenniss and kept making conversation with us. Later we found out that he opened the place early because we had called the day before about the match, I think that’s a very nice touch and we will definitely keep coming back here. Kudos to josh and this establishment.

Food is just ok....Although is says and it looks like a sport bar.. (many many TVs everywhere) they have a very bad and loud music all the time.. we went to watch a very important match and even with everyone there for the same reason.. they never changed the bad songs for the audio of the match ....shame..

Love Grayson. Its my go to bar in the east village. Their food fare is fresh and extensive... Burgers are my recommendation but their tacos are not bad.The usual beer happy hour.. Lager, ipa, ale...no sours though.There are enough flat screens to keep you occupied with assorted sporting events showing. Fridays and weekends it can get busy.

First time I came here, I really enjoyed myself during happy hour on a weeknight. However, I came here tonight (Sat night) with my wife and the service by Angie was terrible. She rolled her eyes at us every time we asked a question about the menu. She also gave me the look of death after she carelessly bumped into me with a bunch of beers for another table. She was lucky we even left her a 10% tip. She should be fired for her horrible attitude!! I really enjoy the food and ambience here, but will stick to weekday happy hour only from now on.

When the waitresses they were equally friendly, and the service was excellent. I just love coming to this sports bar every time I am in Vegas. Had a few good days here in the past. On the way back there now.

Caught the MLB playoffs here. Obviously Yankees friendly with a DJ on in-between innings. This is a good spot if ur looking for high energy crowd. Beers on tap are decent. Service is good. Id go back again.

Review №21

A solid sports bar that you can enjoy with 10 of your closest friends and not worry about space. We were situated upstairs on a Saturday afternoon and had the whole place to ourselves. Theres ample seating. The vegetable dumplings are not bad, and the cider selection is pretty good.

Really good sports bar, serving all the beer and snacks you need. Would stay away from the nachos, theyre not volcanic as advertised, but everything else from the beer, food, service and sport was top notch. Cheers

Great place for food, drinks, and music! I am a die-hard fan of the chicken wings, in which The Graysons has a variety of flavors. I can definitely vouch for the Buffalo (of course...its a bar!) and Spicy Chili. The sliders are great as well and the french fries are cooked to the right crunch consistency. The DJ is there Thurs - Sun and the music has always been on point when Ive been. Great spot to chill and have fun!

Extremely crowded on the weekends. Bartenders are nice, but there arent many, so youll have to wait to order a drink. Lots of young, single people - its probably a good place to try to meet someone new. The dance floor is packed, but it looked like people were having a pretty great time.

Its just too bro to be a good bar, and lots of pushy guys and gals... Not typical East village vibe. Quite long, several bars within, and a DJ playing from a perch in the middle using his MacBook (read: just press play). Overall, I would avoid unless you are looking for the overcrowded bro var scene.

I loved this bar. I went looking to watch a sports game at a supporters club and it was packed to the hilt. We stumbled across this place and left as happy as could be.Its somewhat unassuming from the outside but once in, they have a load of televisions and projectors around with a great vibe. The staff are friendly and very attentive and the food is well priced and the portions are massive for what you pay. Our bartender even offered us a round on the house to keep us around because she knew we were visiting.Great place to have a quiet drink, great place to enjoy a sports vibe, great place to have an amazing time. Thank you Grayson.

This place does not even deserve a star. The manager/owner of this place is one of the most disrespectful people I have ever come across. Not only did I witness him being incredibly disrespectful to his customers but to his staff as well. Unpleasant experience! There are plenty of better places to go to. Its not worth supporting.

I went here with my girlfriend on our last night in NYC. When we entered, we were carded, which is expected for a bar. When the bouncer took my girlfriends ID, he looked at it and said: Not 21, not getting in... Get out. Both of us were clearly 21, so I spoke up saying that she had turned 21a few days prior. He looked at the ID and let her in. He then took my ID and before glancing at it, said: By the way, if Im not addressing you, dont talk. Apologizing and trying to explain why I had spoken up, he cut me off and shushed me.To say the least, the service was poor. The waitress wasnt very welcoming, and I dont think I need to say much more for the bouncer. But hey, at least the food was good, and the beer was cheap; the only reason this place deserves 2 stars.

Review №79

Fun sports bar, but the layout of this place is annoying. From the bottleneck of an entrance to the tables situated in the back, this place can get overly crowded quickly, which can ruin the experience. The DJ can sometimes be a little over the top and the people here tend to be super fratty. Nonetheless, fun if you are with your group of friends and just looking to watch some sports on their 10+ TV screens.

Review №82

Probably the most energetic, live sports bar I have been to. 11 large screens in the middle bar room with all games labeled. DJ was on-point with perfect timing of amping up the crowd during commercials and fading it out as soon as the game comes back on. Seriously, this is the place to be on game-day.Also, the Sunday happy-hour was awesome. $5 Bloody Marys with BACON! These were so good. Eggs Benedict special was also a great.
