    The Legend:
    The Royal Lounge and Gallaway’s

    The legend of Grafton Street Pub and the story of how it came to be spans nearly 30 years. In 1974, the original pub, The Royal Lounge, first opened its doors to the public. Serving pub fare, pints, and a wee bit of sarcasm, the original pub enjoyed a prosperous and healthy run until it was renamed Gallaway’s.

    For 17 years, the pub was a place to gather, unwind, and have a few drinks. The food wasn’t bad, either! However, Hauppauge’s business industry started to expand, and there were some changes in the local scenery at the Village Green Shopping Mall. With all of that upheaval, Gallaway’s shouted, “Last call!” to their patrons on December 9, 2001, and closed their doors for good. 

    In opening our new establishment, we chose to cherish and hold dear forever our good times at The Old Sod. We’ve retired its name to the memory books, but the legend lives on.

    Gallaway’s, we will never forget you.

    A New Legend is Born: Grafton Street Pub!

    Today, Grafton Street Pub sits where The Royal Lounge and Gallaway’s once reigned supreme. The pub is named in tribute to one of the most famous streets in Dublin, Ireland. Situated between Trinity College and Stephen’s Green, located within the heart of Dublin, Grafton Street offers a true taste of the Irish to tourists and Dubliners alike.

    The pub today is best known as Suffolk County’s answer to authentic Irish pub cuisine. We welcome you and hope you stay a while. Our doors are open to you, and as the Irish say, “drop in for a gargle or two.”
