Really cool vibe! Good was absolutely delicious! We got chicken pot pie with mashed potatoes and it was divine! We also got the sausage rolls and fried chicken...all of it came out quickly and tasted sooooo good! The drinks were well done and service was amazing! Will definitely go back and won't even have to look at the menu to order what I want! read more

LOVE the Dead Rabbit - consistent with their service and quality of food/drinks. One of the best pints of Guinness in Austin. The ambiance during Christmas time is great too - they have it decorated for the holiday and have a whole menu of new drinks for the season. St Patricks Day is always fun but get there early as the line gets long once work gets out in the city. Love Dead Rabbit - will come back here time and time again. read more

The live music was way too loud, the service and food were mediocre, and there was a mysterious "wellness" fee tacked onto our check.

Food and vibes are so good here, it's fun to walk to after a few drinks on 6th. The staff is always super friendly and helpful, me and my friends visit frequently because their drink and food menu is delicious. read more

The food here is incredible. You have to try the fried chicken strips, they are literally the best chicken strips I've ever had. Crunchy and well seasoned. The fish and chips was awesome as well. The staff was really friendly and the atmosphere is fun. read more

The ambiance of this place is very nice/cool! That was my favorite part. They do have good cocktails. I got the first and Formosa and I think it was similar to a watermelon margarita. However, I feel as if the food is very overpriced. For the appetizers you get 3 or 4 things. We got the pork sliders and it came with 4 so if you have a bigger group you'll have to double up on apps which will add a significant amount to the bill. And being an Irish pub, we wanted to try a couple things on the menu. There were 8 of us and we all kinda thought the food was mediocre. I got the fish and chips and they were good but nothing special! The service was great though! This place is definitely better for drinks and small bites but I wouldn't recommend coming here if you're looking for a good dinner/entree place. I would like to come back and see how it is later in the evening! read more

Great late night food. The veggie burger hit the spot after a night of drinking on 6th st. Nothing too fancy but did the job

The real nightmare before Christmas. I had super high hopes from this NYC transplant. We came here with a pretty large group for their holiday bar event. The line moved pretty quickly despite having a ton of space inside the bar, which made me wonder why are we waiting in line...? Once we got in the space is pretty big with two sides to the bar, the sawdust on the floor was a nice touch, although it was pretty sparse. Made me think of the nyc location, which honestly I really enjoyed (especially the drinks). And well here is where the nightmare begins, a bunch of us got a first round of their holiday drinks and they were all for the most part awful... everything was overly sweet and just not up to the par of dead rabbit drinks. Most ended up switching to their standard drinks, which is annoying considering they are curating special drinks for the holidays. Oh and btw I got a round and spent nearly 100$ on 4 drinks. Yikes! Definitely will give this a hard pass. read more

Having an Irish fiance, we had high hopes for The Dead Rabbit. Went with fish and chips and it was good. Ambiance was fine, service was good. Fell short of our hopes... read more

I had the most amazing experience with Sarah. She was attentive, super informative about drinks and food, and even helped me choose the best best price for a drink. She was insanely understanding towards my price range and also my preferences for liquor and lead me to ordering me new favorite cocktail. At the end of the night, she gave us some insight on the history of the sawdust floors and the chefs research of Guinness procedures. Overall it was an amazing experience and I highly recommend asking for sarah when you come in! read more

Went into this place for the holiday drinks- the walls and spaces are fully decorated in Christmas spirits. You won't find any big space being abandoned in this bar. I'm so impressed with their drinks after being skeptical with any kinds of bourbon whiskey drinks. After trying "Jingle All The Way", wow it's so refreshing! The shredded cinnamon sticks on the top of a giant ice cube adds a great taste to the holiday spices in the drink! Then I went trying Merry Berry, another good drink but strong alternative to tequila. Finally, based on the bartender's recommendation, I tried Blitzen and it's a home run out of the park. Will come here again next year! read more

GREAT place. It hits so many marks. Lower ceiling, seperate areas so you don't feel like you're there with everyone at the place, wonderful drinks and knowledgeable staff. The great food starts with the appetizers and moves right on through til the end. This is a place to hangout at so don't be in a hurry. read more

If you have a soft spot for well‑made, creative cocktails and don't care about budget, Dead Rabbit can deliver in a crowded cocktail scene. But if you came for food, or crave the ghostly charm of the original NYC location, or you're price sensitive--you'll likely walk away underwhelmed. read more

Nice, new Irish pub on 6th street which is refreshing to see since that area has gone down hill over the years. Good cocktails and beer. The only bummer was they ran out of Guinness! Service was prompt, food was tasty and hot and the place had a great holiday feel. We visit Austin at least once a year and hope to go back there. read more

On our quest to find a decent Irish Pub in Austin we decided to try The Dead Rabbit. We went midday for lunch. They really weren't that busy. We attempted to sit at the bar. After about 5 minutes the bartender acknowledged and served another customer that came up and proceeded to order over my head. At that point we decided to stand up and wait towards the front for a table. After 15 minutes, with tables open and not even being asked if we wanted a drink, we left. This is obviously a 6th street bar and we should have known better. Those looking for a decent pub, don't bother. Definitely not worth the hassle to get there and deal with 6th street. read more

The Christmas lights make for a really good ambience but it stops there. The food was terrible. Nothing really great about anything we ate. The turkey pot pie was extremely dry even with the gravy. My friend had short rib sliders which had a weird texture and it was not great. We got a Ceasar salad and chips as well which was ok. The holiday drinks were $20 a piece including the hot chocolate which was NA. I got the berry merry which came in a glass with no garnish, so they put zero effort and still charge $20. I would not recommend. read more

Ambience Great Christmas theme great Food quality okay. The ownership decided it was a good idea to charge every check a 3% fee for employees health insurance. Totally inappropriate and honestly it hurts the wait staff more than it helps . It goes to show how they value their workersNOT read more

The Dead Rabbit - Wellness FEE total BS - Irish Pub Near Me - Austin, Texas

Did somebody say Christmas in Ireland?! Cause that's what it felt like as soon as we walked in! We loved it all! The decorations, the live band, the drinks, and the staff! We had Jay as our server and she was amazing. Super funny and charismatic, she definitely made the experience that much better. We had the Scotch Egg to start, Fish and Chips, Irish Breakfast, and ham and cheese toastie. For drinks, we got the Deck the Halls, Figgy Pudding, and Berry Merry. I would recommend going on a Sunday if you want to be able to sit at a table and hang out. read more

The corned beef sandwich was excellent. The service was not exceptional and I was sitting at the bar and 3 servers were right in front of me doing everything but taking care of customers. I had to ask for my drink to be refilled. Great decor still decorated for Christmas. read more

Went to the Dead Rabbit this morning for brunch after a very long, humid, hilly run ready to get a full proper meal. Service was phenomenal; the hostess who greeted us made conversation and made us feel welcome. Our server, (I believe her name was Holly), was super personable and attentive without being overwhelming. She also went out of her way to support families with kiddos nearby, which I found very thoughtful. We weren't rushed, drinks were kept full, and the food was really good. They were great when my husband basically ordered a la carte, and my Vegetarian Irish Breakfast was delicious. It's a lot of food - so come hungry; they were happy to help us pack it up for a snack later in the day. Prices reflect all of the above: larger portions, quality of food and cooking, ambience, and service. The Neighborhood cafe next door looked like it has some really yummy pastries and drinks too. I am certain this place looks quite different at night; but don't sleep on brunch - it was amazing. Kudos to the amazing staff for being so accommodating and welcoming; and really beautiful ambience. We'll be back! read more

The sausage roll with curry mayo is insaaanely delicious. Creamiest pints of Guinness in austin. They have a great oyster happy hour too!

Love this place! My husband and I have gone to the one in nyc as well. Obviously this one in Austin is newer and has a newer feel to it but the fish and chips were amazing and chicken pot pie was good too! I ordered a drink that I forgot the name of but it was an Apple whiskey drink with a big square cube and it was amazing! Service was also top notch with really friendly staff. We are def going back for the holidays read more

The Dead Rabbit - Irish Pub Near Me - Austin, Texas

We came in on a Thursday night. They were very busy and tables were cramped. I understand they were going for an authentic NY experience, but I didn't enjoy sharing elbow space with another gentleman the entire evening. We ordered a few drinks, which took about twenty minutes to arrive - at this point, the experience was already going downhill. We proceeded to order food - we got the fried chicken, scotch eggs, a burger and the fish and chips. The chicken was pretty decent, but the scotch eggs were way undercooked to the point the whites were still a mushy consistency. Although the food was "coursed out" it was only done so by 3 minutes. The table was extremely small, so having four plates on the table was overcrowding. The mains were just eh...the burger was very average. Something I'd expect from a diner, but certainly not a higher end establishment. It lacked flavor and wasn't very juicy. The fish and chips were the biggest disappointment, given they were the main reason I wanted to come here in the first place. They had absolutely no seasoning and they were way under-salted. In any case, I think they have a lot of things to figure out and I hope that they do, because they won't last in Austin's competitive food scene otherwise. read more

Just go! Worth the visit. Service was amazing and vibe overall was one of a kind! It's unique and will definitely be back. Thanks Ollie for the chats and attention to detail! read more

Love that this Irish Pub is one of the few family friendly spots on 6th that's open in the afternoon. The kiddos loved the food, especially the fried chicken. As for myself, the stand out was the fish and chips and frozen Irish Coffee. The vibes and staff are great! If you have a chance to go, don't miss out!! read more

Dead Rabbit is the perfect hybrid. Quietly one of the best cocktail bars in the city, but also an Irish pub with pillowy Guinness pours and the best damn Irish coffee of your life. A standout in downtown Austin whether you're looking for lunch, brunch, or late-night drinks. read more

Fantastic. The food, the cocktail, and the service was all great. It is a little over priced in my opinion, but it was well worth it. Once again shout out to the service, I think that's what really gave them a 5 star rating from me. read more

This place won't survive in Austin with these prices, especially after the Convention Center closes for renovations. We had another Manhattan-style cocktail lounge in Austin called Weather Up (an outpost of a Tribeca craft cocktail lounge of the same name] that had superior cocktails at a fraction of these prices. Bring back BD Riley's! read more

Came here before a comedy show and it's a great place. The cocktails are excellent and so is the food. The ambience is like a modern Irish speakeasy and the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. read more

Nice little pub. Good beers on tap. Great bartenders working a Thursday night. Saw a bunch of people eating the fish and chips, smelled and looked good, but I just stopped in for a pint with family, didn't eat. Def worth popping in if your in the area read more

If I could give this place 10 stars... I would! Service and food was a 10 out of 10 so yummy and delicious and our server Scarlett was so helpful and attentive! . 100% recommend this place to everyone and anyone in Austin. West 6th glow up! The salmon was To Die for and the drinks were the best I've had on 6th ! read more

The Dead Rabbit - Irish Pub Near Me - Austin, Texas

We had a delightful evening out at the opening of the Dead Rabbit. All the staff , doormen, waiters and managers were all in tune with good customer service. A group of 6 of us had food and drinks and all was delivered in a timely fashion. Atmosphere and decor was spot on and I sure will be returning again and again. Thanks for a great evening out with friends read more

Amazing. Must-go location in Austin! They serve up wonderful array of drinks, especially their icy coffee - Irish and otherwise. The Dead Rabbit also does coffee in the morning starting at 7am - their tiramisu coffee is a must have. Great food- their sliders are delicious. Wonderful service in a restaurant and bar with great ambiance. The team at the Dead Rabbit is so kind, considerate and friendly. Reasonable prices for an exceptional experience. read more

Horrible. Drinks were disgusting. Service was horrible. I was expecting more from The Dead Rabbit.

Please, please, please stop with the 3% "Wellness Fee". We were frequent guests of the NYC FiDi location and were so excited when you guys came to Austin. We've visited this location numerous times and we're surprised to see this fee added to our last bill. As we explained to the bartender, we would gladly pay a dollar more for each of our pints to avoid this. Please do not introduce this annoying fee to the Austin community! read more

If you are going to add service charge (+5 people) and 3% for using a credit card to pay your bill, at least have the courtesy to inform your customers in case they miss it on your QR code menu. Food was average and noise level extremely energetic. read more

A fun new neighborhood bar, great portions of tasty food and delish cocktails. Be sure to check out weekend brunch and on Sundays there is the Roast meal that pairs well with the live music in the evening. read more

Not good, service was very bad. The server was friendly but sat for 15 minutes before we received our drinks and ordered apps and entrees at the same time and nothing was portioned out, all came out at once. The cocktails were good but $20 seems a bit excessive. The food was very below bar for the asking prices. The ambience is dark and dreary, Irish pubs should be low key but not depressing. This place had a lot of hype coming from NY, EXTREMELY disappointing. read more

Eddie Perez was a wonderful bartender. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about the drink selections. He provided wonderful customer service and helped make both mine and my wife's experience remarkable. This was our first trip. We have had family that has visited the New York location and we were excited to try out the Austin location. We really enjoyed the atmosphere and overall experience. We definitely plan to come back and hope Eddie is there! read more

Great spot but one of the female bartenders was definitely high on something. Great food, great atmosphere
