The Dead Rabbit, New York City

The Dead Rabbit is one of the coolest bar and dining experiences I’ve had to date.My wife and I started with an Irish coffee at the bar on the main floor. My word was that good. This place was once listed as one of the top bars in the world, and I can see why. The drink was perfectly mixed, pleasantly warm and had a great kick from the whisky.We also had reservations for the parlor and had a wonderful meal in a more chill environment. Started out with a scotch egg, which was one of the tastiest things we ate during our entire trip. It’s perfectly crispy and delicious.The Guinness was on point and perfectly poured. Which pared very well with the fish and chips, which was light and flaky.Seriously one of the funnest and best meals we had on our trip. Would go again, if only for another scotch egg and Irish coffee.

The Dead Rabbit in NYC is a hidden gem in the Financial District! This charming Irish bar, tucked away on a beautiful corner, has a cozy and inviting atmosphere with gorgeous decor. We visited on a Sunday afternoon, and it wasn’t too crowded, which made it perfect for a relaxed visit. You order directly from the bartender, and while the prices are a bit higher, the cocktails are absolutely top-notch—well worth every penny! Their food was fantastic as well. I also discovered they have locations in Austin, TX, and DC—definitely on our list for future trips!

Spent New Year’s Eve at The Dead Rabbit and so impressed by the Jingle Jangle decorations (and cocktails), flawless service and amazing atmosphere. The music was great, the drinks were flowing all night and the evening was so much fun. Thank you so much all at The Dead Rabbit!

It was busy but the atmosphere was amazing, especially now with all the Christmas decorations. We both had the burger (one vegetarian and one meat) and both really enjoyed it and the fries that came with it. Staff was friendly too! Would come back on my next visit to NYC.

The food and drinks are amazing! The bartender listened to our likes and dislikes and created the most delicious cocktails! Plus they gave us a frozen Irish coffee to go!

Best bar in NYC, its not an upscale bar serving cocktails made with ingredients you have never heard of and names you cant pronounce. Its a good old Irish Pub that the likes of Tommy Gavin would frequent. The service was fantastic (shout out to our new best friend Vivian) we were able to try a fantastic lineup of Irish whiskeys, of which they have more than you could hope to run through. I wish they would open one close to home, but then again, I would be parked there 8 days a week.

Outstanding cocktails, some of the best in the city. Easier to find space downstairs in the “Taproom” although the bustling Irish pub vibe down there doesn’t do justice to their innovative cocktail program.

I personally loved coming here as part of the jingle jangle at pier 17 - experience, and that little taste of jingle jangle was so good that the original location has to be even better😍🙂‍↕️!!!

What’s there to say about this place that hasn’t already been said? Often times, it’s hard to deliver on the hype— but The Dead Rabbit delivers on every single small detail. The philosophy of design and service shines through in every single thing they do, and as someone with an appreciation for the little things…this place truly does make you feel at home. Every pint poured with care. The food is exceptional. And the vibes just simply cannot be matched. I count myself grateful that the owners take the pride and care in curating such an experience. Priced very respectably as well. You leave feeling like you’ve gotten more than your moneys worth. I love this place.Edit; The Irish coffee is an absolute experience and a perfect way to put a cap on your experience. You must try one.

A Must-Visit Spot in NYC!The Dead Rabbit is truly one of the best bars in New York City! From the moment you step in, you’re greeted with a warm, lively atmosphere that combines Irish charm with NYC sophistication. The cocktails are expertly crafted—each one is a masterpiece in flavor and presentation. The food menu is equally impressive, offering delicious options that perfectly complement the drinks. The staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, always ready with recommendations. Whether you’re here for a casual drink, a night out, or even brunch, The Dead Rabbit delivers an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend for locals and visitors alike!

One of those situations where I had an impossible amount of hype built up in my head and they still somehow exceeded it. Great cocktails, great food, great service. The Christmas setup was a bonus but I would’ve loved it the same without that.I came for the Irish Coffee and it blew me away, and I will spend the rest of my life trying to make it at home. The Guinness pour was also impeccable.

I’d been here previously and would have attested to this being one of the best Irish pubs in the world.Based on a more recent visit I’d have to say that the years have not been kind to this place.Although bigger and possibly busier than ever I’d have to say the food was ok at best the Guinness (has to be on point for this type of pub) was disappointing, metallic and unusually for me I couldn’t finish.This was a real disappointment

Such a festive drink menu with holiday decorations throughout their 4 bars. Loved the mint Frozen After Eight and Irish coffee.

Checked out this vintage bar in the Financial District of Manhattan. Its got that classic Irish pub feel with a ton of cocktail options, especially their Irish Coffee cocktails! Didnt indulge in any Irish coffee myself, didnt want to mess with my jet lag remedy progress, but I did try another cocktail that was amazing. Wanted to save room for their tasty-looking food, but alas, no space in the old tummy 🤣. We went on a busy day, right after St. Patrick’s Day, so there were lots of Irish folks (from Ireland!) around! Despite the crowd, the staff were super friendly and attentive. Love the vibe here! 🍹🍀

OVERHYPED & HORRIBLE FOOD. I visited The Dead Rabbit, October 27th around 10:00PM. My partner and I dined and we ordered oysters along with a regular drink.Within 30 minutes of leaving, we became severely ill, experiencing vomiting that lasted throughout the night. We were later diagnosed with food poisoning and remained unwell for an entire week. This not only ruined our last evening of vacation but also made our flight home unbearable.The oysters tasted off, raising concerns about their freshness or handling. To make matters worse, our server (a younger female) was unprofessional and rude, which further detracted from our experience. Whether due to negligence or improper practices, this is unacceptable for a restaurant of that reputation.This incident has caused significant distress, and I am concerned about the safety of other patrons who may have been exposed to the same risks. I hope it gets to the right person and takes appropriate action.

Three of us went there on a Friday night. Tables are small, place can get crowded. This is in the financial district so there were a lot of Wall Street business people there. Some with a big ego who took up a lot of space.Anyway, Kate was our server and the service she gave us was incredible. We ordered the Fish and Chips, which was well cooked, with a Harps beer batter, mushed peas and fries. The fish itself could have had more seasoning. The Turkey pot pie was very good and the drinks were excellent.Will definitely go again. When we went, the place was decorated for Christmas and it was very festive.

I had an amazing time visiting The Dead Rabbit. Outstanding hospitality since you arrive. First you enter to a traditional irish pub and then upstairs is their cocktail parlor, both really nice concepts with an interesting menu of cocktails and small bites. They honor their Welcome Home and Tradition, Meet Tomorrow slogans. Will definitely come back.

The best bar in the country!Coctails and service are phenomenal!Was visiting from Florida and accidentally forgot my purse (with credit cards and drivers license) in the bathroom. Im very grateful to the staff who found it in the bathroom and kept it safe until I realized that I left my purse in there 🙈 Thank you guys from the bottom of my heart 🙏❤️

Love their Shepard pie (lamb) and Turkey pot pie. Would go for a meal or a drink. It’s very laid back but enjoyable pub spread across three floors. It gets quite packed in the evenings but it’s worth stopping in if you’re in the area.

Wife and i are spending the weekend in NYC for our 29th wedding anniversary. After dinner we went to the Dead Rabbit and had an amazing time!!!!!The drinks were incredible, the atmosphere was fantastic, the staff was top shelf. Plus they informed us that one will be opening in DC..as a resident of Virginia...we look forward to the opening and being a regular.

Hands down, one of the best bars in NYC. THE go-to spot in FiDi, the drinks are absolutely stellar—you can’t leave without at least one Irish Coffee and a bite.

Awesome experience, we sat up in the parlor which is a quiet area upstairs. They have an extensive cocktail menu, and serve some of the best Guinness Ive ever had. Everything we tried on the menu was delicious, I dont think you can order a bad thing. I highly recommend the Irish coffee

You must go to this bar. It is a speak easy bar and has a special cart of author cocktails that is such a travel in flavors. Their food is also great. It was well served and very tasty.

Went for Jingle Jangle while on town for vacation. Best drinks we had in NYC. Well balanced and tasty. Fast, efficient service. Staff was nice. Decor was very Christmassy and fun. Also, love the pub vibe. Scotch egg was the best we’ve had (including in London). Will definitely be back if we visit again.

Finally made it here and it was great. Mostly had the cocktails. I love that they curate based on season and they just released a new menu. The ingredients are interesting and you wouldnt think they work together, but youd be surprised. We ordered the chips which were perfectly cooked fries that were crispy on the outside and soft, potato on the inside. My favorite dip was the aioli. And would recommend eating them when theyre hot/warm. Make reservations in advance if you can especially if you have a group larger than 2 people and to be seated in the 2nd floor area. Would come back here to try other food on their menu.

The Dead Rabbit is probably the best and most famous Irish pub in NYC. The whiskey flows freely, as does the Guinness draft and innovative cocktail for all tastes. I went there twice during my short stay in the city, and both times the services was fast, the music was fantastic, and the overall vibe was relaxed and friendly. You cant miss the Irish coffee! Ill keep coming back when Im in town.

This place is a must visit when in lower Manhattan. Their Irish coffee is delicious and one of the best Ive had. The bar tenders are friendly and attentive even when its a packed house.There are 2 bars on the bottom level and the upstairs bar opens at 4pm. I didnt eat there but the food I saw coming out of the kitchen looked fantastic.

This bar was rated the world best in 2016 and its Irish whiskey did not disappoint. Their preparation ensures that its perfectly chocolatey and warm. Ill be coming back here for that perfect sip.

We had such an awesome time visiting The Dead Rabbit!The staff is wonderful from the second you walk in!Loved the holiday decor, and cocktail menu!We had Irish coffees, Gingerbread Man, and Doctors orders ! All of which were delicious!This will definitely be a place we return to on our NYC trips!

Great bar, fantastic service. The atmosphere is great. Definitely Irish bar but clean and a little fancy. The food options are so tasty. The apps were tiny but the entrees were big. The drinks are expensive but they are iconic. I’ve been here for their Christmas specials and that is otherworldly. Definitely a must visit to experience/ the salted caramel hot chocolate is u real and extremely rich. But today I had the frozen Irish coffee while it was extremely small… it was also very good. The scotch egg was good but pricey. The fish and chips were great as well as the corned beef sandwich. Service was fantastic. Love this place and will always be back for more

Last night at The Dead Rabbit was a memorable experience. The service was incredibly fast and genuinely courteous, making us feel right at home. My Guinness was perfectly smooth and flavorful, and the Ham toasty hit the spot—absolutely delicious! My wife couldn’t get enough of her fish and chips, saying it was some of the best she’s had. We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend for a great night out!

Updated! - Originally disappointed, but based on restaurant response and clarification, changing the review. Mistakes happen and how a company responses is super important! Disappointed in this restaurant! We have a group that once a year goes to NYC for our annual eggnog tour today 12-14. We needed three reservations, one for 8, one for 6 and one for 4. We had the reservations for weeks. Tuesday all three reservations were canceled with no reason. Absolutely no way to manage a restaurant being in the industry myself! Poor customer service!Thank you for the response, I have upgraded my review based on your response and will email you. Apologies for the delay, work has been crazy. We look forward to working your restaurant into our itinerary next year.

Made this a destination must on our recent NYC trip. Food and drinks were excellent. The parlor was a bit tight and the party next to our table was incredibly loud and rude. Not holding it against the Rabbit, we had a good visit and would have stayed longer if not for them.

Irish pub located in the financial district. I sat down at the bar while my visit and ordered their signature Spell Spoke whisky cocktail. It was the best whisky cocktail Ive ever tasted.The mixed drinks here are made with top shelf alcohol which shows in the prices of the cocktails. Expect to pay $20 for the cocktails here.In terms of the ambience, expect to have the tourist and the afterwork crowd at this bar. This bar does get filled up to standing room only.

I am a long time patron of this normally awesome bar, but the automatic 20% tip is a real kick in the nuts and a bit sneaky. You guys are better than this. Other than this, the service from the actual server was great and as usual, the food and drinks were amazing.

The meat in my burger was next level… very nice! Great pub. Everyone enjoyed their meal and the staff were excellent!

Stopped for cocktails only and oh boy not disappointed. Fantastic atmosphere for the holidays. Our drink professional Sean could not have been more welcoming and helpful. Every one loved their drinks. The Irish coffee was just great.

We went here twice with our party. The first time on a busy night and the atmosphere was great but it was super busy. A bit too much for me. However we went on a Sunday late evening and it was much more my vibe. The staff were lovely, the frozen Irish coffee is fantastic and the music really brings it all together.

Salmon was delectable, 10 out of 10. Seasoning was spot on. Felt like I was at a higher end restaurant. The delivered eggs were fire. Worth every bite. The smoked salmon on top was an elegant delightful touch. My girlfriend had the chicken sandwich and she looked hung over with joy after that experience. Really awesome classic bar with great cocktails as well.

The Dead Rabbit is hands down one of the best bars in NYC! From the moment you walk in, you’re immersed in a unique atmosphere that blends old-world charm with modern flair. The drinks are phenomenal, with a cocktail menu that’s both creative and expertly crafted. Whether you’re trying one of their signature cocktails or something off the classics menu, you won’t be disappointed.The vibe inside is lively, yet intimate. It’s the perfect spot for a night out with friends or even a date. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to recommend a great drink. Plus, the attention to detail in both the drinks and service really sets this place apart from other bars.If youre in NYC, The Dead Rabbit is an absolute must-visit, whether you’re a cocktail enthusiast or just looking for a great time in a welcoming, fun environment. We love it here and can’t wait to go back!

Worth the hype - just read all of the other reviews! I got the mango y mole - quite possibly the best drink I’ve ever had in my life!

This is the best whisky-based bar in Lower Manhattan. Fantastic food, whiskey flights, service and atmosphere. Their Jingle-Jangle at Christmas is amazing and over the top.

Great food in an Irish Pub atmosphere. Chicken sandwich was delicious and Bangor’s and Mash very rich in flavor. Good selection of beers. Only downside is charge for refills of ice tea. I understand they just opened a new location in Austin - that won’t fly there! But food is really good and service was friendly.

The Dead Rabbit in New York is a must-visit for anyone who loves craft cocktails and Irish pub fare. The drinks are outstanding, with a vast selection of creative and unique concoctions that are expertly crafted. The food is equally impressive, with traditional Irish dishes that have been elevated to new heights. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with a charming old-world aesthetic that transports you back in time. The service is top-notch, with knowledgeable and friendly staff who are happy to make recommendations. The only downside is the long wait time, but its worth it for the exceptional experience. Overall, The Dead Rabbit is one of the best bars in the city and should not be missed.

Great atmosphere & place to take visitors. We sat in the Parlor level. I brought my parents and we are from the UK so always skeptical of pubs in America! Dead Rabbit does it right. Started with the sausage roll which was great, extensive cocktails / drinks list and the server was really friendly. For our mains - I had the broccoli & quinoa bowl (and finished off my moms fish & chips which was amazing), and my dad had the burger which he really enjoyed. Irish coffee tiramisu was the perfect dessert to finish. Will definitely come back!

Obviously a scene right now for the holidays and definitely pricey but worth the visit. The holiday cocktails are wonderful.

Dead Rabbits famous Irish coffee is always great any time of year. During the summer they have a nice frozen slush version of it. I also recommend the Twighlight Zone that has a nice spin on Guinness. Always get the chips! I also enjoy their shepards pie occasionally. They also host events like comedy shows or tastings. Prices are a bit steep but its good. Getting in can be hard sometimes for dining. For standing/bar seating they have a front room good for walk ins but I dont recommend coming into this tight space with a big group without a reservation or it being early. I come in solo and take one of the bar seats and you can order food there! Upstairs seating will have different menus but they always have the Irish coffee of course

The best place in New York and the world. 100% must go. Pre book before going

We went on a Sunday in December and the place was PACKED! The Christmas decorations were so beautiful and there was live music on the main floor. We went up to the Green Room because there was more room up there and had a great time. The seasonal “jingle jangle” cocktails are superb and the food was delicious. We were standing a majority of the time but eventually got bar seats to finish out the night. Bar tenders were friendly and quick with drinks and food!

Old time Irish pub in a building built in 1828, and you feel the history. Short walk from another legendary area, Stone Street. Cocktails were stiff just as you’d expect, and delicious. Also, the popcorn was better than any movie theater’s that I’ve had in recent memory and the Potato Leek Soup was fantastic!

Having a Gingerbread Man! Thanks for everything Katie! Say hi to Waylon 🐕‍🦺

We had a great time! The drinks were delicious and the atmosphere was super friendly. The DJ was on point tonight!

There is a reason this place is one of the most awarded pubs in New York. They have the best Irish coffee Ive ever had and a delicious selection of cocktails. They also offer a variety of beers and food as well. My last visit was during their 10 year anniversary so they had extra entertainment and a great vibe. Definitely stop by if your in downtown Manhattan!

Best authentic and creative cocktail bar. Bartenders are very professional and craft each cocktail with a lot of care. The best Irish Coffee Ive ever had. Cool comic book menu.

Food was incredible - best scotch eggs I’ve ever had, and the drinks were to die for. Highly recommend the frozen Irish coffee. Ask for Corey or Santiago - those two are world class!!

Awesome place. Tried three cocktails and all of them tasted good and unique. Started in the bar downstairs where we got some food as well. Shepherd’s pie was great. It’s pretty loud downstairs but cool decor and kind of cozy. Then we moved to the third floor (put yourself in the queue for the third floor when you arrive) where continued our cocktail journey. The Irish coffee was as good as other reviews say. The gin cocktails didn’t disappoint either. The upper floor has the same menu as downstairs but with additional 10 cocktails.

Such an awesome place. Okay so it isn’t truly an “old” bar, I think it was built/renovated in 2013, and I think they are trying to make it seems a lot older than it is. But it’s amazing anyways. Cocktails are great, beer is great, and food was very good (even my vegetarian wife thought it was awesome).Would definitely recommend and come back too.

The frozen Irish coffee is amazing! They go down like water, especially on a hot day! So good!

Greatest bar I have ever been to. Not only does it have a very cool historic atmosphere, the drinks and service were world class. Its pretty pricey but youre paying for unique, perfected cocktails in a small, popular space so its worth it every once in a while in my opinion.

This place is a fantastic bar! 🍻 The Dead Rabbit 💀🐰 offers a wonderful selection of incredible drinks 🥃 and cocktails 🍸 - definitely try the Taking Liberties! Ambience 🎶 is great and the place is beautifully decorated! 🛋️ Staff 👨‍🍳 is super nice and professional! I wish I came here earlier!

Great vibe, amazing cocktails and good quality food. We came back twice, during lunch time we sat downstairs where the atmosphere and ambiance was more easy going and chill and late night had martinis on the second floor where the vibe was much more fitted for the evening time. Overall, We will be coming back more frequently!!

This spot is incredibly popular (and world renowned) I had friends from overseas recommend I visit when I was in NYC.First I notice its VERY BUSY.But the staff handle the crowds well, our food and drinks came out in a timely fashion and everything we had was delicious. A few small hiccups such as not receiving a spoon before stew came out. But nothing life shattering. And our server was overall very good at his job.

This is the benchmark for what I love to experience in a bar. The food is great so feel free to try anything on the menu, but the drinks are the real stars here. The staff knows what it takes to make having a drink feel more like taking an adventure. My advice is close your eyes, touch anywhere on the menu and whatever you pick youll love. Theyll make a delicious version of your favorite cocktail if you want to test them out, but dont hold back from finding your new favorite off their extensive list of craft cocktails. All the way down to hand carving the ice for high balls and making their own oat milk for the hot chocolate.

I’ve been here three times and every single time has been a blast! The food is delicious, the Guinness and cocktails are top-notch, AND the service is some of the friendliest in New York!!! In particular, Santiago and Cory upstairs (in the Green Room) are stellar. They have a warm, friendly demeanor that makes you feel right at home.

By far the best Irish Coffee I have ever had. The ambience is really cool, pretty sure it is the best bar you can go to!

Go sit at the bar and drink a Frozen Irish Coffee, be part of the experience. A truly fantastic pub, sawdust on the floors, pictures stapled to the ceiling, and service that matches the experience. A fantastic cocktail menu and a perfectly poured Guinness.

A really recommended bar, especially for Whiskey lovers!Their old fashioned is probably the best Old fashioned I have in NYC, strong Bourbon flavor but still smooth, and also comes with a crazy portion.Their signature Irish coffee is also really good, especially for hot drink lovers.Everything related to Whiskey is definitely good here, such as Whiskey sour, penicillin, Manhattan, Old pal.Definitely a recommended bar here!

Its a neat atmosphere. They let us in for our reservation early, and that was nice. We got sat at the bar, which I didnt personally care for. And as a NYC tourist whod walked 7 miles through the day, I was not thrilled about seating that offers no back support.It was dimly lit, which is cute but strains my aging eyes.The fish and chips was mediocre, not the best sign of an Irish joint. Way too greasy, and that killed any chance of crispy fish.

Great drinks, the ini pastrami sandwiches were delicious. The scotch eggs were perfectly cooked. Try the Irish coffee with fresh nutmeg! Yummy 😋!

Ive been coming here since early 2014, whenever Im in town. Whether alone or with a group of friends, The Dead Rabbit never fails to thoroughly impress myself and everyone with me. Having traveled extensively around the world, I can say that The Dead Rabbit is hands down my favorite bar (bar doesnt do this place justice). Be sure to make a reservation well in advance. Even as a walk-in, if theres a wait, its worth it.The flavors are amazingly balanced in every drink...and Ive had a lot of them. Their ice is perfect (yes this matters). Their glasses are spotless and for the cocktails that require it, the glasses are chilled nicely.They change their menus regularly which is awesome! On this occasion, I enjoyed their baby lamb chops (delicious!) and their chicken potpie (would make any Irishman proud). For drinks I ran through the Lone Oak, an Irish coffee, the Young Blood, Sticky Toffee Old-Fashioned, Psycho Killer, and Doctors Orders. One after another I was amazed at the quality and skill put into each drink.To finish the night out, I grabbed two more of their newer books for my collection and the bar staff was kind enough to sign them for me.Kace, youre the best! Until next time! Sláinte!P.S. Make sure you greet Freddy, the doorman, by name. Very nice guy!

I’ve eaten twice and the food is always delicious. However, it’s really known for its huge selection of whiskeys and bourbons. So if you want a good drink with your meal, or just to hang out at the two bars, definitely worth stopping by. Just a note the prices are Manhattan prices, so lunch for two with drinks will run about $100.

The food has long been excellent, and now the coffee is too! The cocktails are reported to be excellent and I look forward to trying them.

Amazing cocktails with wonderful foods in a fantastic ambiance! It’s like a dream spending a night at the Dead Rabbit,NYC. I definitely will come back again and again.Irish coffee, the signature, as good as always. Figgy pudding is unexpected delicious. All foods are tasty with incredible dips. Tiramisu is the most fresh with strong spirit one I’ve ever tasted.What a sophisticated speakeasy bar. Highly recommended! I hope everyone has a chance to taste the cocktails, as well as the foods, with friends or family.

The ambiance was lively, and the decorations were distinctive.We had a wonderful time, the service was prompt, and there were many options to choose from.

I had a wonderful experience here! Everything from the food to the cocktails was delightful. I strongly recommend trying to get a dinner reservation here. Our favourite options were the Elderflower Champagne and the Irish Coffee but you wont go wrong with anything on the menu

Really cool place with good drinks and bites. ECHO was our waitress, and she was a doll

Come for the Sunday Roast, stay for the atmosphere! Weve been here a few times now for the Sunday Roast, but there are plenty of other items on the menu. The wine selection is great, though youll be wanting to try a few of the cocktails or the Irish Coffee too. The servers are always very friendly and helpful. Youll love the building itself, and the decor around the Holidays makes the place feel much more homely. Dont hesitate to drop by even without a reservation, theres seating at the bars and counters too.

Definitely not your average bar. The hard cider was tasty. The food here is actually delicious. My first time having Scottish eggs and they were amazing. The salmon and clams were cooked very well with a delicious clear sauce draped over it.

Recommend by friends as “best Irish pub in the US” and maybe “Best bar in the states” and they told us we had to try the Irish coffee, we were skeptical at first but oh my.. I think we are Irish coffee fans after this place.Great atmosphere and delicious drinks and bar food!

Dead Rabbit Bar in the Financial District is your typical afterwork spot. Its not trying to be fancy, just a place to grab some drinks and unwind with colleagues.The vibe is okay—nothing too special. Dim lights, okay atmosphere, you know the vibe . It can get a bit noisy, so dont expect intimate conversations.Drinks-wise, theyre decent. Youll find your classics and some creative mixes, but nothing mind-blowing. Its just what youd expect from a standard bar.Now, onto the food. Meh. Its your basic bar grub—burgers, wings, fries—but nothing to write home about. It lacks flavor and finesse, which was disappointing.

My favorite pub in the city! The cocktails are unbeatable and the food is amazing! I wanna try everything on their menu. Top service and lovely environment.

After eating at fraunces tavern. You come here for drinks period. The environment is friendly, the cocktails are excellent, the beer is cold. You want casual? Stay on the first floor with the saw dust floors. You want higher end? Try to get into any of the floors upstairs. What you won’t do is try to eat the “olives” sitting on the bar. This aren’t olives, it’s nutmeg.

My reservation was for the second floor ‘parlor’. Both scotch egg and chicken pot pie are delicious. I ordered a true north which is clean and refreshing. Service is great!

We didnt dine here. Bar was packed. We came due to the history of the building.

This bar is just the best. Atmosphere and staff make you feel so welcome. You could literally stay all night here. No wonder its the most awarded bar. Its so worth the effort to get here.

This is a straight up Irish bar. The Irish coffee is spot on dont miss the chance to get one from The Dead Rabbit. I also had the Taking Liberties and it numbed my mouth for a out 20 minutes. Great bar will definitely be back. There is food but I just stayed at the bar.

The best cocktails in NYC!!!! No wonder why this bar is so famous/ well-known. We also got a complimentary cocktail which was awesome. We will be coming back often and try different cocktails from the menu.

Liz was our server, and she was great! The restaurant had a wonderful ambiance. Some of the tables are real close, so its the perfect opportunity to make new friends and even get some great suggestions for places to visit or things to do in NYC. The food was fantastic, they have the worlds best mustard in my opinion that pairs well with the fried chicken. I would highly suggest this unique place as a must see while in NYC. The Irish Coffee is a must have it is so delicious to every last drop!

Wandered in on a Monday afternoon to kill some time & pulled up a seat. The service was swift & friendly. Enjoyed the Irish Coffee Martini & Glory Days while there. Definitely plan on making a reservation for the Parlor upstairs & enjoying the food menu next time!

This is without a doubt one of the best bars in NYC and definitely the best one in Fidi. They have great food, a great atmosphere with the two different bars on different floors (downstairs is more of the spit and sawdust pub vibe and upstairs is more cocktails and food) but the thing that stands out is the drinks. Everything from the staples like the Guinness and Irish Coffee (best In NYC) to the really creative cocktails are excellent. Not to be missed

First walked in, I was pretty pumped, as I usually like Irish Pub themed establishments. I ordered some mussels for the table, they came in pretty sandy which I was certainly not expecting from ANY restaurant in this area. Sliders were good, fries were great for apps. I ordered the fish and chips for a dinner, which was a mistake. I place that fish in the top 5 worst meals I had so far this year. It looked good, the presentation was nice, but it was extremely watery, still cold in the center. I had a second bite from the other fillet (there were two) and it was the same. The server was very nice, but neglected to even consider mentioning why the dish was still full, yet clearly got the message because she removed the plate with the rest of the food from the group. A friend of mine did point out that Irish Pubs probably arent known for their fish and chips, so I take the heat on that one. But considering it is on the pricier side of the menu, I think it needs to be improved or removed as an option. Id probably return to give it another shot next time Im in the area visiting friends (I have one buddy swears by the place), but maybe Ill stick to a shepherds pie.Beers were great btw. Their house Red Ale is a big thumbs up.

Beautiful bar. Beautiful people. All in a cozy place with smooth atmosphere. The food is excellent and the drinks are just as tasty. Youll love everything about this bar, and will want to come back again and again. Enjoy your time with wonderful company, beautiful women and great guys.

Better before but still a great downtown spot. Have the Irish coffee and you’ll thank me! Scotched eggs at brunch are also super fun.

I almost feel that this place doesnt need more good reviews at this point but it definitely deserves them. It is hands down the best cocktail bar I have been to. It starts with the bartender experience and the ability to try tons of Irish whiskey you couldnt try anywhere else in the United States. It goes so much further than that though. Even on the busiest nights they have taken extra care of me and the party I was in.I will mention that this place is definitely on the expensive side at $16 to $18 but they are worth it. Furthermore I feel you wont really like this place to its fullest until you spend a few hours and have a few drinks to get the experience. If you plan to go in, have a Guinness and get out then honestly you arent using this bar to its fullest.

This place was cozy and festive and the holiday-themed cocktails were creative and tasty.

I stopped in on Christmas Eve after a day of walking around on Ellis island in the cold. I was warmly greeted by the hostess checking vaccine cards which made me feel a lot safer than other places. I took a seat at the bar and took in all the decor and the huge selection of Irish whiskeys on the wall. My little Irish heart was happy. The bartender Matt was so attentive to me and the other customers and had a really great attitude and made you feel at home. I had a Irish Whiskey Highball and it was absolutely delicious and refreshing. I ordered the chicken pot pie and it was also delicious and filling on a cold day and topped it off with an Irish coffee that was perfect. The atmosphere and how welcoming the staff and other patrons are was lovely and I’ll definitely come back again when I’m in town. I was visiting from Baltimore.

What a find!! So happy to have gone to the dead rabbit - esp upstairs parlor (need reservations). The vibes are totally different between main floor and upstairs. The parlor has the general menu, plus an additional list of drinks (specials 😍). Staff was very friendly, so welcoming and attentive - thank you for a wonderful experience! We will be back!!

Been here a couple of times this season and it’s always on point. Not surprising, the cocktails are excellent. Martini’s, sazeracs, more classics and their own specialties are all perfect. Had dinner on the 2nd floor on my most recent visit and enjoyed the high quality bar food staples like burger, fish & chips and chicken pot pie. It’s a world famous bar for a reason, don’t over think it, just go, order your favorite cocktail and enjoy.

I had an amazing experience at The Dead Rabbit. The cocktails were delicious and creative, and the food was equally impressive. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was lively and fun. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a great cocktail bar in New York City.

One of the best. NYC in general has plenty of good options for cocktails. If you can get into this place and had reservations then you are definitely going to enjoy the vibe, drinks and small portion meals. They are priced reasonably and very good with their mixology.

Excellent bar. Ive always been able to get a seat at the upstairs cocktail bar here in 45 mins or so without a reservation. And you can wait in the bar downstairs which is pretty good in its own right. Cocktail bar is the main reason to go here, inventive cocktails and good food, relaxed upscale vibe

Been here several times and never disappointed. One of my favorites.Always lovely drinks, great food and atmosphere. We sat inside and the set up was great.Wish there were a few more options for gluten free.

Still one of the best bars in NYC. Amazing selection of cocktails especially during the jingle jangle holiday season. The interior is also nice tho it gets really crowded on weeknights especially on weekends. As this bar used to be the best in the world back in 2016, it is expected. Impeccable service by the bartender and staff as well.

The Dead Rabbit is a the best bar in NYC and it is a must visit bar if you like Irish Coffee.They make the best Irish Coffee and Espresso Martinis I have ever had. Their cocktails are always great and the ambiance is very lively.
