Graham Coombs left this review about Grafton Arms

A very strange little place: one room with dark wood tables and dark olive walls, dominated by one of those peculiar metal tiled ceilings and decorated with those ridiculous prints of dogs wearing human attire. It fronts a boutique hotel and also has a roof terrace (not visited). It's not especially pubbish and certainly doesn't have a sports crowd in any longer. A trio of handpumps just had the one offering - Renegade Good Old Boys, which wasn't great and certainly didn't warrant the Fitzrovia price.

So-so pub in Fitzrovia, just to the east of Fitzroy Square. Well described below, but the live sport TV had drawn in a rather sweary football crowd which resulted in a less than convivial atmosphere. We drank up and left having experienced the urinals which are surmounted by TV screens. There's a target stuck to the side of the bowl and if you hit it, your score comes up on the screen.

Ales on: GK Abbot, IPA, IPA Gold, Timothy Taylor's Landlord, Moreland's Old Speckled Hen and Hogsback's TEA (£2.00 a half and fine).

I avoid sports pubs so won't return; sport aside The Smugglers Tavern up the road is better.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Grafton Arms

The little roof garden is the main feature of interest here - although at one time it used to be the place to escape from the smoke (but is now the opposite). Not that much space in the the narrow rectangular bar but there are a few patio tables outside on the pavement. It also has an upstairs room, but this usually seems to be reserved for private functions. Although a Greene King house, it thankfully has a guest ale policy so Elgood's CXXX (£3.90) was available in addition to IPA Gold, Old Speckled Hen, Abbot and the seasonal Fireside from the five handpumps on my latest visit.
