About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
The Grafton Inn is a proud supporter of Vermont’s pioneering farm-to-table philosophy. Our historic inn and two restaurants in southern Vermont offer on-site dining year-round and feature locally-sourced ingredients prepared by food-loving professionals to create timeless, hearty dishes that will please any palate.

The Phelps Barn, originally a carriage house for guests' horses, provides a unique and rustic VT dining experience. Even the hayloft has been repurposed and renovated, providing an elevated seating area as well as our 8-tap bar. It is a fast pace restaurant with live music usually scheduled on the weekends.

If you are looking for a quieter space to have dinner or celebrate a special occasion, we would recommend our 1801 Tavern located inside the Main Inn. This historic space provides a cozy and elevated dining atmosphere. Within the 1801 Tavern you’ll find our recently renovated Pine Room Bar with a working fireplace.

    We had a wonderful dinner. We had a two year old and six year old. The staff was very welcoming and luckily the children ( and adults) behaved. The food was great, although the portions were large.

    They messed up our reservation. Requested a higher table and higher sitting chair because of my back. However they did not have that thus we sat at the bar which had higher sitting chairs.

    A little confusing to fine the right door because the place has like 4 names. But it's the barn next to the Inn. Beautiful setting, great service, amazing food and drinks. Definitely recommended!

    Tonight was their apps and taps night which consists of 4 or 5 different appetizers and a drink for $16. Chicken wings with cider bbq sauce was great. Caesar salad was very big, fresh, well made and delicious. Our server, Hannah was very sweet, remembered us from breakfast and engaged us in conversation, took care of all our needs. Meghan at the bar was also very nice and pleasant. We would highly recommend going to the Phelps barn for dinner and drinks. So much so we are going back tomorrow for burger and brew night.
