Although the people that hang out there aren't very different from most other Cambridge spots, the place itself is. I've been to Grafton Street several times and it's always a place I'm willing to try again. Food is a bit pricey, but if you are going for a few drinks they have a great beer selection and live music on the weekends. The difference with the music is that it's typically a one-man-band, so it's not quite as loud as other live music bars (which is a good thing). Check it out, it's worth it...
Pros: atmosphere, live music
Cons: food prices, parking
