    Went here on a Sunday and was pretty chill vibe. Food was great and service was amazing! Definitely will be back

    Fine and Dandy
    Sam P.

    Stopped here for cocktail while in Austin for the Springsteen concert! Love the cool decor reminiscent of any pub back home in Britain, with really nice artwork! Also one of the nicest places on 6th! Service was fast and friendly and enjoyed a great gin cocktail called Fine and Dandy! Coupled with a great playlist - definitely worth a visit

    Good, but a far cry from the New York original. This Dead Rabbit is more akin to a well off dive bar which caters to older 20 somethings that enjoy Irish whiskey. It's loud, it's grungy, it's fun if you're in a group and especially if you're buzzed. The cocktails are obviously good but almost too good given the environment because the ambiance says fast fun while the drinks say speakeasy. I'd return if they rotate new cocktails but I'm not a big enough fan of the spirits they specialize in to commit to the price again for a while.

    It's not Manhattan, but it's just as fun! Wonderful vibe great food and drinks . Definitely a bar I'd come back to in Austin.... Our waiter did say during the holiday season they do dress up the bar. I'll need to come back for that

    Surprisingly really good food, we initially stopped here to grab a drink and maybe some appetizers. I was hungrier than expected once we made it so I opted for one of their burgers and it was great. Most pubs you don't really expect much from their main entrees but the Dead Rabbit knocked it out of the park. Our server was great and checked in on us frequently. During our visit I succeed in their "Split the G" Guinness challenge and got a complementary beer. Another one of the few good spots for food on 6th street.

    The Dead Rabbit does pub food exactly how it should be done. Every dish feels well executed, and the atmosphere during Christmas is especially festive and memorable. It is on the pricier side, but I think the quality makes it worthwhile. I also absolutely love their Irish coffee martini. It's a fun take on a traditional espresso martini, but in my opinion, it's better in every way. Overall, The Dead Rabbit is a great choice when you're in the mood for elevated pub food, excellent drinks, and a lively atmosphere.

    A good and slightly more upscale spot in downtown on 6th St. It is an Irish bar with some non-standard options. I was not very hungry (unlike my boyfriend lol) and ordered a veggie plate which turned out to be huge! It was actually great: plenty of fresh veggies, some olives, nuts, and 2 types of dipping sauce. Petition to rename it "Girl Dinner" :D The service was really friendly and attentive, we enjoyed our time at the bar top!

    This was a nice spot especially compared to all the other things on dirty 6th. For some reason the floors here are filled with sand. Like they are ready for some sort of disaster. Being downtown means prices will be a bit higher but not bank breaking big. The corn beef sandwich was one of the better corn beefs I've had. Maybe it's because they actually used some fatty brisket topped with some kind of well dressed coleslaw. I was quite surprised.

    Yummo.

    Very busy on Saturday afternoon. Adorable place with photos from Ireland. Table service was organized and friendly. I can't wait to try the fish and chips next time.

    Sunday Roast ($42) - us 4 girls could not finish this!
    Wendi K.

    This place knocked my (christmas) socks off! We had a girls night here for the Jingle Jangle pop up - it was so festive and the drinks (all in the $20 range) were perfect for the holidays! There was a wait for the table but we were able to grab some seats at the bar while we waited. The food was so unexpectedly amazing. Us four girls split two entrees and finished only about 40% of everything - that is how generous the portions are. The fish & chips ($26) are flaky, crispy battered and amazing. Good, hearty chips too. The Sunday Prime Rib Roast ($42) - wow, just everything on that plate is *chef's kiss* and authentic. Especially the mashed potatoes, gravy, and creamy cauliflower. The popover is huge. The staff and cheery. 100% recommend and would come back for the other menu items.

    Butternut squash soup (add soda bread as an extra order)
    Wendy B.

    I got here and immediately I got the Christmas vibe, the decor makes it feel warmer and cozy. I had a couple of seasonal drinks: the cookie and cream, and the gingerbread man one. The cookies and cream is frozen, didn't say that in the description; and the gingerbread man didn't have the man in it haha, they said they sold out of the little decoration. The food here was outstanding! The scotch egg was superb, crispy and savory. The butternut squash soup was delicious but a little lukewarm, I wish it would be hotter. I added a soda bread for texture and was delicious! The main dis is the fish and chips, the best I've had ever, for real. The batter is very crispy and the dis inside was thick and juicy. I must highlight the sinks in the bathroom, they have water coming from the middle and when you move your hands to the side, it blows air for drying. Very cool!

    jingle jangle holiday pop-up
    Megan Y.

    I was looking forward to trying one of the many holiday pop-ups in town, and glad I chose Jingle Jangle @ the Dead Rabbit. I got there around 6:20pm and there wasn't a line so I must have caught a good break in between waves. Found a spot at one of the middle counters near the back. Everyone around was nice seeing that I was a solo diner. My server Jay eventually found me and placed my order. I got one cocktail and one N/A. Both were sweet and yummy - wish there was more color variety though. I finished with one more cocktail that was slightly stronger but still pleasing. Right after my first round came, I accidentally spilled the N/A drink. The folks around me probably hated me but helped to clean it up. I should have helped grab napkins too, but sometimes you're stuck in shock. Jay kindly gave me a free refill on it as well, despite the ratioing. When I left the line was very long. Basically we had about 15-20 mins where it was calm.

    The Christmas cocktails

    It was Shana's month to pick our date day/night trip. She choose this as the last stop as she had wanted to visit for some time. So we headed to the Dead Rabbit which was in full Christmas flavor. We got some good drinks, I got a cookies and cream drink that was fantastic. Shana got a different holiday drink which had a gummy Christmas tree on it. She also got the Scotched eggs and really like it. We didn't stay long as we had other plans later but it was a fun trip. The service was friendly, it never felt too crowded but it was early, the décor was fun and the drinks and food were good. While it was all good, the 4 star is due to it not standing out much from any other bar that puts up Christmas décor and drinks. Nothing makes it really shine, which is fine. It is why you bar hop but just wanted to point it out.

I'll start by complimenting the staff! Everyone we encountered - bar tender, server both - had a great sense of humor and were a pleasure to engage with. They treated us to a round of shots after we had a few rounds. Generally the vibe of the crowd is very friendly and we made some new friends to hang with part of the evening.

Regardless of the food or ambiance the server is the face of the establishment. Bad service can easily lead to a bad review. In this case the waitress, when she finally showed up, was not friendly. She was indifferent, like we were bothering her, and had a borderline RUDE attitude. The clincher was her assumption on who was paying the bill. We waited a good ten minutes for her to initially show up. When she got to the table the first thing she asked for was a credit card to cover the drinks we ordered; which I thought was strange since our family was sitting at a table and ordering dinner. After the food was delivered she never returned to check on us. Other servers had to get us refills and were happy to do so. When she finally returned at the end of the meal with the bill , all smiles of course, she had already run the credit card without ever giving us the bill to review??? The card she asked for, for the drinks, was NOT meant to pay the bill. We were going to split the bill but since she already ran the card the cardholder didn't feel comfortable asking her to rerun the card. This was VERY awkward!! None of us have EVER experienced anything like this ever!! I wish I had gotten her name. I'm giving a 2 star review because everyone though the food was good.

If it is in fact true that BD Riley's is run by someone from Boston then he or she should be ashamed of the food they serve. It's like they have a 10 year old cooking the food.

My friend and I sat next to a faux fireplace, where we were greeted by the only bartender working and placed our order. Once he opened the tab, it was disappointing that he never came back to check if we wanted another drink. It wasn't super busy on the Monday we went, but since he was the only one manning the bar, the bartender was always doing something, so I don't blame him fully for not checking back in with us. I ordered a drink called the Velvet Vice. It looked nothing like the picture and tasted similar to an Aviation cocktail with egg whites. I happened to really like it. It is a very relaxed space, but once the speakeasy gimmick wears off, it does not have much else going for it. It is still a cool place, but I am not sure it was worth the lengthy drive to get there.

    "Nosh & Bevvy Won't Forgive Me for All the Ways They Wronged Me"…read more That title is meant to be ironic. After more than fifteen years as a customer, I made one mistake: a four-dollar tab discrepancy on a day when I had just been turned away from a dental appointment because my blood pressure was too high for treatment. I was upset, distracted, and wanted to be around people I believed were my friends. That was the last day I ever stayed there as a customer. Let's go down the list. I have been accused of skipping out on my tab. The truth is that after fifteen years of faithful patronage, there was one incident involving approximately four dollars. I had added items to my order, paid cash, and made a mistake. One mistake in fifteen years. After that happened, I became concerned that I would continue to be treated as though I couldn't be trusted. In my experience, comments about unpaid tabs continued to surface. Rather than create another misunderstanding, I made a point of being generous. On the very next occasion I tipped Charlie more than fifty percent. Instead of feeling appreciated, I arrived the next time feeling insulted when the entire amount was simply pocketed without so much as an acknowledgment. Maybe others see that differently. That's how it felt to me. The situation became even more disturbing when interactions began taking place outside the bar itself. While standing in front of my own home, I experienced conduct that I considered harassment. As a result, I filed a police report and have the corresponding case number in my email records. What disturbed me even more were stories that reached me through people connected to my former partner. According to what we were told, false rumors were being circulated claiming that my ex-girlfriend had committed suicide. Whether people thought this was gossip, entertainment, or somehow harmless, it was not. The psychological harm caused by spreading something like that is difficult to overstate. Shame on everyone involved. What you don't know is Satara an I  spoke with witnesses that completely implicated Gilbert in the rumor. What strikes me now is that I nearly forgave all of this. I removed earlier reviews because I genuinely wanted to move on. I thought it was over. I thought everyone could move on with their lives. Apparently not. If people insist on dragging the issue back into the light, then here it is. The reality is that I don't even particularly miss the place. What I do object to is being disrespected. When a business chooses to disrespect a customer who supported it for fifteen years, there are consequences. One of those consequences is that customer telling his side of the story publicly. A Message to the Staff: If I believe I am being harassed in public--whether at Night Owl or anywhere else--I will pursue every legal remedy available to me. And Sam, for what it's worth, I am sorry that your employees have represented your business in a way that ultimately cost you a longtime customer and the loss of business from everyone else that read & took this review to heart as a warning & again, Sam & Charlie, for what it's worth I wanted to make all of this go away.  Fifteen years. One four-dollar mistake. And somehow I'm still the one expected to apologize when I feel like my partner and I were the ones most wronged. Because I'm not a completely vindictive man. If I get an apology from every employee that works building that knows me, In writing, I will remove this review. -- Mad Dashiell
