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

Nice modern Irish pub with all the Irish charm and plenty of Guinness. We were here for Irish Music during sxsw and close to St Patrick's Day, so they were on full throttle. The service was amazing despite the huge crowd and lack of seating. The sound was great and the sampler sliders were perfect quick bites. You can order with the QR code or the little menus. We loved this place so much we're going back as soon as possible. read more

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

Loved this bar! My favorite spot I popped into on 6th. They are decked out for Christmas, absolutely love the decorations, really fun spot to hang out. It was pretty busy on a thursday weeknight, with standing room only. We put our name down and were able to get a table after about 20 minutes though. The cocktail menu is stellar, super creative Christmas cocktails using some mid-shelf quality ingredients. They are certainly on the pricier side at $20 but I do think it's worth it given the better alcohols being used here compared to other places. I had the gingerbread man and it was like a delicious buttery spicy old fashioned. Solid pour, totally worth it. Also had a Guinness which they poured the right way on Nitro. Love to see it and can't be beat. Would love to go back here and try out more of the cocktails and enjoy the decorations. Definitely recommend coming here, especially during the holidays! read more

I've been wanting to make it here since it opened, knowing about the NYC location. I finally made it for a late afternoon drink and snack and was impressed. It was more casual than I expected inside which was nice. Made for a relaxed, easy dining experience. I sat at the bar and bartender was very friendly. They have an extensive cocktail menu and I asked her for a recommendation and she recommended the twilight zone. It did not disappoint. It was very unique with the inclusion of Guinness with a whiskey base and amaro. I also got a small Caesar salad that I added grilled chicken to. Everything I could want that afternoon. The chicken tendies looked great to from what I could see too. I'm looking forward to returning for a full mean experience. read more

I don't even know where to begin! Super excited for this bar's future. It's in a great location and the vibes are amazing. Their Christmas decor is wonderful & their staff is fantastic. My friend and I walked in around 7 PM on a Thursday night without a reservation. Given that it's a new hot spot for Christmas drinks, the wait for a table was around 2 hours. We chose to wait around for seats at the bar and were fortunate enough to find some. The bar area was extremely packed but they were fully staffed and the bartenders got to everyone super quickly. We ordered the fried chicken tenders and the chowder (unfortunately did not take pictures) and they were delicious! Our bartender, Andy, was phenomenal. He was kind and tentative. He even agreed to take a photo of us! Definitely looking forward to coming back to see him. I ordered the jingle jangle, which is a frozen mint-chocolate cocktail that comes in a neat plastic cup you can take home. The straw was super cute but not very functional for a frozen drink since it was paper. My friend ordered the Golden Ring, which is whiskey based & tasty. Overall, we had an amazing experience and I can't wait to tell my friends about it! I will absolutely return for the ambiance, the staff, and the coffee shop that's attached to them right next door! read more

Went in for one last quick drink before wrapping up the night. The ambiance was awesome, darker dive bar vibe but really unique. The music was fantastic and we heard a lot of fun remix covers of older songs. We ordered the Irish coffee Alexander and enjoyed it. We also got the sausage rolls and chips. The sausage rolls were phenomenal and would 100% order again. Chips were also a great late evening snack. read more

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

I came here after work during the holiday season since it was decked out with Christmas decor. The ambience was really nice and festive. The food and drinks were quite pricy though. I had a salmon tartare and it came out with regular crackers instead of soda bread. It took a while to get the staff's attention but eventually they came and apologized they were out of soda bread and took it off our bill which was really nice but I felt it should've just been acknowledged in the first place especially since the online menu shows photos. Otherwise, service was nice and I really liked the spot for a once in a while experience. read more

Christmas spirit activated! This place lived up to expectations. Beautiful decked out Christmas interior for the season . Excellent customer service after my family and I booked Thanksgiving night on Resy happened to be a glitch in the system as they were closed Thanksgiving. They accommodated us the next night with the first round of cocktails on the house. Drinks were a little on the sweeter side but definitely creative and delicious. Their Guinness checked the boxes. Fish and chips were excellent, turkey pot pie was good - turkey was dry (so use the gravy) but very good pie crust. Will be back for the corned beef sandwich. Go here for... the fish and chips and the Christmas vibes read more

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

I had seen posts all over social media about the opening of The Dead Rabbit and their cafe neighbors, and finally walked by this weekend and decided to go in for a drink. I was with my friends, one of whom is Irish, so naturally we ordered pints of Guinness. My boyfriend ordered a classic burger, as well. The drinks and food came out after a short while. Everything was good, and we were surprised by the pint glasses. They didn't have the quintessential harp Guinness glasses, but instead pint glasses that had fun little sayings on them (for example, "Go on, split the G"). Can't tell if these were custom made/ordered special, or if they were just a cheaper option. Either way, Guinness is Guinness, so we enjoyed our drinks. The burger also looked delicious, and we all shared the fries it came with, which were nice and thick, crispy on the outside but nice and soft on the inside. A well-deserved 5 stars for the ambiance and decor, however! The gallery walls throughout the place were fantastic. We loved looking through all the frames up on the wall and figuring out how they each had something to do with Ireland. Service was good, too. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive! I think the only downside about The Dead Rabbit is the location. Dirty 6th street is full of underaged college students or out-of-towners. It's not an area regular Austinites frequent too often, so I worry that this may hurt the business in the long run. The only reason why we went is because we were walking through 6th on our way from one F1 event to another. Haven't been on 6th in almost a year, and probably won't be back for another year. Nevertheless, if you find yourself in the area, check out The Dead Rabbit! read more

Solid Irish Pub. Service was great, atmosphere was spot on. Not cheap but a good time.

Very interesting venue on Dirty 6th. I was bummed when BD Riley's closed at this location but it appears the Rabbit is a good replacement. If you visited BD's brace yourself for a big change in this venue. They gutted this space and it's now open, airy, and bright, with plenty of seating and a long bar area. Of course, they have Guinness, properly poured, with a host of other local and standard beer options. Their craft cocktails and whiskey selections are king here. Check out their menu online. After my obligatory Guinness and Jameson back I dived into their craft cocktails. First up was their Lost in Translation featuring Lost Irish Whiskey, Toki Japanese Whiskey, Midori, Matcha, Egg White, Lemon. Interesting Combo that really worked. Plus one went with their 9-5 another hit with Grey Goose Vodka, Rhubarb, Red Bell Pepper, Dry Vermouth, Black Pepper. I also found my new Irish whiskey Powers John's Lane. This was a recommendation from the bartender and a patron sitting next to me. I believe they have over 60 Irish whiskeys! Needing some Carbs we opted for the Guinness braised rib sliders generously adorned with Garlic Aioli, & Pickled Red Onions. Perfect bar food! Last but certainly not least service at the bar was exceptional. We never lacked for attention and they were most helpful helping us navigate through their menus. We now have 2 reasons to venture to this area of 6th St. read more

Excellent service, great for group and amazing drinks! I came here 3 nights in one week because the atmosphere of The Dead Rabbit is great with good music background and able to chat as a group! Service is excellent, no matter is the gentlemen who great us at the door or all the waiter, waitresses or bartenders are super friendly and helpful. If you are in Austin and want to have a good Irish drink at night, The Dead Rabbit is definitely a great choice! read more

The service here was quick and they provided great recommendations. We went right before south by so it was fun to see that the bar was already decorated for St Patrick's Day - as any Irish bar should be. Their food was hands-down amazing! The fries were perfect. We liked the different ketchup and sauces that paired it. I loved the sliders. The meat was tender and flavorful. The chicken tenders were also very tasty. This was a great place for lunch! read more

Had to come here for Saint Patrick's Day! The bar was busy during lunchtime, but we were able to get seated shortly after waiting on the nextdoor cafe side. It was well decorated and lively, well matching the theme of the day. The Saint Patrick's menu was fun and full of cool drinks! All our drinks were delicious and on the sweeter side. I got the Irish Rose which had a refreshing spritzy taste with white wine and fruits. The fries were also delicious! Aside from the standard ketchup and aioli, there was also a curry mayo that was unique but delicious. They were crispy and paired well with the three dips. read more

Awesome. Bar Bites, Burgers, Shepherds Pie, Fish n Chips, Salmon and a side of Chips (well fries). A whole bunch of drinks, lots of laughs and good service and of course, friends / good company. 6th street is full of eclectic places to go and I'll try them all. read more

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

I mean I guess they think this is the NYC location with those prices. $17 for a frozen Irish coffee. Heck, my fave local has a much better tasting version for three bucks less. $25 for a small chicken pot pie and a side of cold and lumpy potatoes. The pie was so dry that even the side of gravy didn't help. Also it tasted like it was thrown in a microwave to heat it up. Seriously, cold food when we were one of the first customers when they opened for the day? The decor is nice. It's 6th Street so clearly the tourists are their target audience vs. residents. Eh. read more

We've been to The Dead Rabbit a couple times now, and we do have to say that we like it quite a bit. There are some things that could be improved, but overall, it's a great place to drink and dine. We don't quite understand why they chose this particular location in Austin because it's not quite right for their concept or price point. But it is what it is. One thing that is horrible is the fact that they only have QR codes for menus--these things died post Covid *for a reason*. Nothing kills an intimate vibe more than scrolling on your phone with an annoying interface. All the specialty cocktails that we've had there live up to the hype (Let It Linger, English Rose, Careless Whispers, etc.). The names are dumb but the taste is good! Also, don't expect your frozen Irish Coffee to be as topped up as it is in the picture--ours was barely below the rim. As far as food, everything is mostly excellent. The Scotch eggs, which we've had both times, are A+++. The baby gem Caesar is solid, as are the deviled eggs, and we really loved the quinoa power bowl (although we appreciated when it first came with kale). The barley and vegetable soup was unfortunately way too salty (and we love salt, but even that amount raised our eyebrows). We love the burger, and while the corned beef sandwich was delicious, the bottom piece of bread got so soggy that it was practically disintegrated by the time we lifted the whole unit to our mouths. So, some opportunities for editing. Service has always been extremely welcoming and mostly efficient despite longer gaps than necessary between coursing and/or drinks. We love the decor and overall vibe in here and we very much appreciate that they are cognizant of sound issues by putting up sound boards (this is such an underrated and important part of restaurant culture, duly noticed!). We're happy to land on 4 stars, but are worried that they are not going to last because of the location and the fact that it's been pretty quiet both times that we were there. Still, we wish them a lot of success and can see ourselves coming back at another point. read more

We (party of 2) went for lunch to try some Irish classics: scotch egg, cumberland sausage roll, and fish and chips. We sat at a small table for 2 and all 3 dishes (2 appetizers and our entree) arrived together. The plates took up our entire table, with little / no room for our silverware and individual plates. Scotch Egg: Crispy outer shell with a creamy yolk center as to be expected. Cumberland sausage roll: First time trying this dish. Crispy phyllo dough outside and delicious sausage inside (same sausage as the scotch egg). Fish and Chips: Batter was not seasoned but cooked nicely with a light crispy batter texture and flaky fish inside. Our fries looked (and tasted) like they had been sitting out for a while, soggy and cold. I tasted one as soon as the dish hit the table so it wasn't due to the time it sat waiting for us to start the dish due to 2 other dishes on the table. I asked for salt to season the fish and it was much better once added. Overall, a cute bar on 6th but would not go out of our way for a meal. read more

Sadly, I was not able to sit and enjoy the lively ambiance as I was getting my food to go. I had never been to Dead Rabbit, but apparently it is the place to be as it was the only bar on the block that was packed and without reservations, the wait time was 1 hour. The restaurant is totally decorated for the holidays and if you are not feeling the spirit, just spend some time here and I guarantee you that by the time you leave, your spirits will be lifted. Aside from the decor, the staff were absolutely lovely! We ordered the fish and chips, fried chicken and caesar salad. The fish and chips and chicken were sooo delicious and I see why they are rated top favs. read more

This was my now my fourth visit to The Dead Rabbit. Overall: great, friendly service. Great atmosphere, very warm and welcoming and a good location on east sixth. Good food and drink selection. Guinness is poured perfectly every time, a rarity these days, if I only had Guinness, they would get 5 stars, I will go back for the Guinness and the service for sure. UPDATED: tried the corned beef again today, food was great! Fries were perfect! Not sure if something changed or my other two visits were a fluke. Definitely recommend this spot, Upgraded to four stars combined with my past visits, but today was a 5 star visit. -------------------------------------------------------- PREVIOUS REVIEW BELOW: My first visit, had the corned beef sandwich, it was great, and the huge portion makes up for the $23 price tag. The french fries were not too good, thought it might be a fluke. Today's visit: had the burger. It was cooked perfectly and I can tell that it is high-quality beef. Each bite left an odd lingering aftertaste that wasn't palettable. Definitely not worth $20, I would pay $13-15 for that burger, not elevated enough for that price point. I wouldn't eat the burger again. The french fries again were aweful. They taste like they weren't soaked to remove the excess starch, and they weren't fried properly, a bit soggy. There is a weird flavor overpowering what you would expect from a crispy and salty potato. Ketchup and vinegar could not save those french fries. Maybe just season them with sea salt only? I would not recommend this restaurant if you are hungry, the food is not worth the price point. The food ad Foxy's down San Jacinto is way better. If you want a perfect pint of Guinness, please go! read more

Sláinte! Austin needed a good Irish Pub! This place is so much fun. It's one of the classier bars along Sixth Street in Austin. The floors are covered in a thin layer of sawdust. When I went to the Dead Rabbit, I was fortunate enough to visit with four true Irishmen. They said that the sawdust on the floor is to help clean up the spilled beer and any 'sick' on the floor. Interesting! Yes, the drinks are more expensive than the bars down the street. However, this is by far, hands down, without question, the best Guinness I've ever had. No doubt in my mind. The beer took about five minutes to pour. No, they weren't being lazy, just professional about it. The first pour goes about halfway up the glass, and the bartender (who was from Dublin!) waited a few, gave another shot of beer, waited for that to settle, and then topped it off. It was a production, but SO worth the wait. Best Guinness. Amazing what happens when they take their time and pour properly. The whole time the Dubliner bartender made funny small talk and quizzed and lectured me about Irish culture. Cool! When I went, an Irish band struck up an Irish jig which nearly brought the house down. I loved all the artwork throughout the bar, all kinds of clever Irish witticisms. The comedic signage extends to the spotless bathrooms! So clean! Be sure to check out the full Irish breakfast that they offer. If you ask me, a FULL Irish breakfast should include some soda bread and a shot of Jameson, but that's just my family. Parking is super challenging on Sixth Street. Good Luck. read more

The food was INCREDIBLE! Amazing staff and a great atmosphere within walking distance of our hotel.

After a hike in town, we came here with friends. It was highly recommended. We were lucky enough to snag the last table. Reservations recommended! It was on a Sunday afternoon. They had a little Irish band playing in the corner and I loved the decorations for Christmas.We all had pints of Guinness and shared a few baskets of chips. Loved the sauces the fries came with!! Such a neat atmosphere. Bussers and servers were very attentive. Can't wait to come back and get some of their special drinks and foods. read more

Super friendly staff and fair priced drinks. What else could you ask for. Love it. Will be back.

While in Austin for a conference, a group of fellow attendees and I ate at The Dead Rabbit. The menu looked pretty good, and it was a quiet weekday. The inside is decorated beautifully and has great woodwork. However, the service here was lacking/slow. Also, they charge for refills, even on tea! One of our group member's lunch order was wrong, but she was a sport about it. And...what's up with the sawdust or peanut shells (?) on the floor...? In fact, there was an accident at the front door when a vendor was trying to bring some drinks in, so....might wanna rethink that? This location is in downtown Austin. There are other places I'd go back to before coming back here. read more

Have gone to this place twice now and had a great time both times. The service is excellent, the food was great, there was a bit of a wait but that's understandable.

Was pleasantly surprised with my first time at this BD Reiley's replacement on 6th Street. The service was great and couldn't turn down trying the bangers and mash and Guinness to wash it down.
