The "coconut milk was off" cocktail was soo good. All the cocktails (electric momisette and miso colada) were fun, creative, and delicious. The food (dingle pie and spice bag chips) were also really good. The spice bag chips seasoning was really good. We walked in Wednesday 8:30 PM and they had a couple of high chair seats at a side bar in the parlor room available. Really fun decorations and ambiance. read more

Very clean inside, & very attentive & courteous staff. The food is also good quality & cooked well. The potions are very small though, but also very expensive. Ordered a full meal but left hungry. Like - I'm literally hungry now while writing this after having just been here. Seems like a good place to watch a game if you are not hungry. Good NA beer selection. read more

I've commonly heard that the dead rabbit is one of, if not, the oldest pub in the city. While enjoying my lunch at the bar, I heard this is false. They only opened in the 2010s, but the building in which the pub is housed, is one of the oldest in the city - the more you know...   I ordered their Dingle Pie which was so hearty and delicious. I can actually taste it as I write this. The portion is pretty sizeable and for the price, I think it's a good deal. I think if you grew up in that part of Europe, you would like this place. read more

We stopped in for a quick bite while waiting to meet up with friends. It can be a challenge if you go here with someone under 21- they have limited seating for underage parties. The place seems to stay packed from open to close, so prepare for a wait. We ordered a burger, bacon/cabbage croquets, and fried chicken bites. It was all divine!!! And the Irish pub vibe was quite fun!!! Despite how crazy packed they were our server was amazing and attentive. read more

The Dead Rabbit - The vibe - Cocktail Bars Near Me - New York, New York

If you're looking for one of the best Irish pubs in Lower Manhattan, The Dead Rabbit absolutely lives up to the hype. Tucked into the Financial District, this spot blends old New York history with some of the best cocktails in the city--and it's easy to see why it's been named "World's Best Bar" more than once. The name itself has a wild backstory, inspired by a notorious 19th-century Irish-American gang from Five Points. It adds a layer of character to the place, but what really keeps people coming back is the atmosphere and the drinks. The space is split into two levels: a two lively, sawdust-floored Taprooms downstairs and a more refined Parlor upstairs if you're in the mood for a quieter, cocktail-focused experience. Drinks are the real highlight here. The Irish Coffee is widely considered one of the best in the world--rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced with whiskey, coffee, and fresh cream. They also get creative with variations like a frozen version and even an Irish Coffee martini. If you want something different, the "Act Naturally" is a standout, mixing Irish whiskey with Guinness and fig in a way that works. Food is just as impressive for a bar. The lobster deviled eggs (topped with caviar) are a must-try, and the menu leans into elevated comfort food. Overall, The Dead Rabbit nails the balance between historic charm and modern cocktail excellence. The D.R. is one of those places that is never boring and consistently delivers. read more

I kike the drinks downstairs much more than the Parlor upstairs.. we went with group of 6 recently for the Parlor, all the cocktails were too sweet and light, glad we were able to order the Irish Coffee from downstairs. Food was so so as well... read more

We came in here for a late lunch and drinks and decided to sit in The Taproom at the bar. It definitely had that old world feel (even down to the sawdust on the floor - IYKYK). Our bartender was SUPER nice and was prompt in serving/refills. We started with a couple cocktails (Green Spot for the win!), and then had a 1/2 dozen oysters, Scotch Egg, and the Pot Pie. Holy crap. BEST lunch meal we've had in a while... going to dream about it. I can't wait to come back!! read more

Returned to The Dead Rabbit (again!) for dinner on a busy Sunday evening. Great food and drink as always. Started with the Lamb Chops which were awesome and for entrees had the Sunday Roast, Salmon and Fish Pie - liked them all especially the Sunday Roast. Finished the meal with an excellent Sticky Toffee Pudding and Tiramisu. The staff was terrific, from the hosts, to the bartender in the Taproom (had a drink before dinner), to our server in the Parlor Room - everyone was friendly and helpful. All in a fun atmosphere. Will be back soon! read more

Came here for the last weekend of jingle jangle, the holiday decor was so nice! My friend had little expectations on cocktails at a holiday bar being actually good, but he was pleasantly surprised and loved his gingerbread man's cocktail. The appetizers were really good, sausage rolls and honey ham sliders that we ended up ordering main entrees too. I loved the turkey pot pie and had enough for leftovers, while the fish n chips were a little disappointing on the size for the price. One of my favorite tiramisu desserts, where it was more drenched in coffee and cream than a cake with a little bit on it. Service was attentive for how busy they were. It was nice with the reservation the host checked us in and sat us immediately. While we loved the drinks, the entrees may be a pass next time and just some appetizers read more

While pricey for an Irish breakfast, the portion is massive and the quality is outstanding. This was jaw dropping delicious. Served with two types of bread, it paired perfectly with the soft butter. Ample meats to go around and the pint was good as well - fairly priced. I was so pleased to see it came with beans as well. I'm still thinking about it! The ambience is also incredible, very authentic Irish considering it's in Manhattan. The bartenders were quick to pour and serve, dishes cleared regularly. They have a good thing going here. read more

While in NYC, we wanted to stop for a drink near our hotel and popped in here not realizing the history or popularity of the bar. The bar was packed at 2PM on a Monday which was surprising! We were able to squeeze into a bar spot which is first come first serve and I'm so glad we did! There were so many fun cocktail options available, but we all settled on beer/ wine for our visit! The staff was very friendly and got drinks turned around quickly, the holiday ambiance was so much fun and brought cheer for sure! Definitely a worthwhile stop while in New York - especially if it's for the holidays read more

This place is so fun to dine at. Not huge portions but the quality is terrific. The fried egg starter was sooooo good to start with. $16 for an egg? Crazy times. But it's good. The bangers and mash was so delicious. The mashed potatoes are so creamy and tasty. Super smooth. Very buttered and oily. The bangers are that solid. The pie was really tasty. Insanely flavorful crust. Viv was our waitress and she brought a great personality. The inside is fun. Traditional sawdust on the floor. The dollars everywhere is fun too. A place like this makes me wish I drank! read more

The best Irish coffee in all of the US! I even met an Irish local who makes them at home vouch for these. Perfectly hot tempered sweet coffee drink balanced with the coldness of the cream on top, is amazing during any time of the year but especially when you're cold and trying to get cozy. They also participate in the Guinness challenge where you have to split the G to get your beer free. You chug the beer and try to stop it where it goes in the middle of the G in Guinness on their cup. I saw someone succeed after their third try and alas, the bartenders gave her the beer for free. Bartenders were consistently friendly too! The inside vibe is so cool and filled with a lot of people from Europe. I love the decorations and chaos! I highly recommend coming here especially for their Irish coffee. read more

Dead Rabbit is the best version of an elevated Irish pub. There's a reason they won best bar in the world twice. @thedeadrabbitny They're especially fun during the holidays because they turn an already killer New York pub into a Christmas Pop Up. We walked over from our brunch at the Beekman because it's a short walk in the Financial District. Double bonus is stopping halfway through Wall Street to see the giant Christmas tree. The holiday cocktail menu is the best we've ever had. The recipes are as festive as the intense decorations that cover every inch of the place. I had the Naughty List which is a boozy hot chocolate with single malt scotch, aged rum, and salted caramel cream. It was amazing. Dead Rabbit is always a good idea to check out because it's as good of a pub as it is a place to have complex cocktails. The bartenders are always friendly and open to off menu ideas if you don't find what you want on their extensive menu. Head south out of the madness of Midtown and go downtown next time you're in Nee York. They're a lot of fantastic places to check out and experience some great neighborhoods.

Came here for dinner and drinks on a weekday evening and it was packed! Glad we made a reservation in advance, otherwise it would have been quite difficult to get a table. Seating is tight and there are quite a few backpacks/bags that will brush up against you depending on where you are seated. Prices are steep, think $20 on average for a cocktail. They do have a happy hour and a special where if you "Split the G" you get the Guinness taken off your bill! For food we split a few small plates, including the chips (aka fries), scotch egg, oysters and popcorn (with Kerrygold butter) all of which were delicious. I also tried the veggie burger which was a solid portion size! read more

We came here before the parlor was open but the taproom was. We sat the bar and I know I needed to try their Irish coffee where it was definitely one the best ones if not the best one I have had at a bar. I also had to have their Guinness and while the pouring technique was spot on I would say that Graces and swifts might be slightly better. I would come back for a good drink and live music. read more

Went with my daughter and son in law for a celebratory drink. It's one of his favorite bars. Packed at 3:30 on a Friday afternoon- reservations mandatory. The place was packed. It oozed charm. The tables were small and tight. The waitstaff were charming. I had possibly the best Irish coffee ever. The Guinness was good, but not up to the son in law's standards. We shared a plate of crudite. Lovely experience. read more

A historic bar I've been meaning to visit for a while, and I'm glad I finally did. I made a reservation and opted to sit in the upstairs lounge since we wanted dinner as well. The cocktails were incredibly creative and delicious -- definitely the highlight. The food was solid and paired well with the drinks. The downstairs has a much livelier, true pub vibe, while the upstairs feels a bit more relaxed. Great atmosphere overall and worth experiencing at least once. read more

I didn't try the food, but the overall vibe is spectacular. Maybe the best bartenders in lower manhattan. And the live music is INSANE

What a fantastic pub/bar/cocktail lounge to visit. I found it hard to categorize "The Dead Rabbit", as to me, it fits all 3 categories. First off... what an excellent pour of Guinness up in the Parlour Room (get a reservation to ensure you are seated). As I let my pint settle and looked around, I took in the great vibe and ambience, watching the 2 bartenders mix up interesting looking drinks quickly got my attention though, and I thoroughly enjoyed the show they put on. The bartenders shared a decent sized book of all their drinks. They all sounded/looked great. After my pint, I tried one of their takes on an Old Fashioned. One word... remarkable! (See my photo). Set into a large rocks glass, with a hand chisled block of ice - I enjoyed every drop of it. I generally wouldn't comment on a bathroom, but the tiles in this spot have what looked like chips of broken glass within them all (subway tile size). So interesting and totally fit the vibe of "The Dead Rabbit". One other note... as I stepped away from the bar to visit the restroom, the bartender placed my drink into the cooler to keep it cold. I've never experienced that and think it is such a small yet memorable nicety. 10 out of 10 there with that service!!! I will definitely try and make it back down to Wall Street and "The Dead Rabbit" the next time I'm in NY. One of my most memorable spots I've visited! read more

I love this place! One of the best Guinness drafts in the city. A super lively, crowded, loud, vibe with live music if you are lucky. Food is really good. Service is friendly, but sometimes they do get confused (e.g. we put our name down for a table downstairs but were called for a parlor table, and I'm pretty sure they pulled our drafts and gave them to someone else). Still, in such a chaotic environment, this is only to be expected, and again, they are very nice, which is not always the case in New York. read more

I stopped by The Dead Rabbit because it was listed as a must-visit bar in the FiDi District, and it did not disappoint. The bar has a unique, old-school Irish vibe with two distinct sections--one with a more classic, historic pub feel and another that's slightly more modern. There was plenty of seating, which was a nice surprise for a popular spot like this. The décor is charmingly Irish, complete with dollar bills and personal notes plastered across the walls, giving it a cozy and welcoming touch. Special shoutout to Quincy, who was incredibly kind and helpful with all my questions about the space and seating. Such a great host! And Katie behind the bar was fantastic--friendly, quick, and just overall great energy. I ordered the Frozen Irish Coffee, and wow--definitely gave me adult Frosty from Wendy's vibes (in the best way). It even gave me a brain freeze, so I let it melt a bit before finishing, but it was worth it. Didn't try the food because I had dinner plans later, but the dishes I saw coming out looked seriously impressive. I'll definitely be back to check out the menu next time. If you're in FiDi and want a spot that blends great drinks, cool atmosphere, and warm service, The Dead Rabbit is a solid choice. read more

We only came here for drinks! There were a ridiculous amount of people milling around all over the place, which added to the ambiance. Our server was prompt and helpful. The place is pretty fantastic, honestly. The whole esthetic really helped make us feel like we were amongst true New Yorkers. (We were tourists, of course, and it showed) My sister ordered a non-alcoholic beverage, while the rest of our party ordered regular alcoholic beverages. Honestly, hers was the tastiest! read more

I love this place! It has multiple floors, and we went on a Friday night (Feb 14). It was busy but had a great atmosphere. The drinks were fantastic! We went to the top floor, and the bartender was super nice--he made amazing drinks and still took the time to chat with us, even though he was busy. I ordered the Smoke & Mirrors ($20), which was excellent, and we also had an Irish Coffee--the best I've ever had! Every drink we tried was great. I don't remember the bartender's name (Check says parlor ext b ) but he was so friendly and made our experience even better. Would definitely come back! read more

There are two areas to the bar. Downstairs is more of a traditional Irish pub. The parlour upstairs is a cocktail bar. I recommend making reservations. The drinks are strong but very good. The food menu is on the heavier side but the cheese plate and bar plate of veggies and olives are great options if you want a lite snack. The rabbit theme is adorable. read more

We had the privilege of visiting here on a Monday night. Unfortunately the Parlor Room is closed on Mondays, but the Taproom did not disappoint. It's an Irish bar through and through with some of the best cocktails you'll ever try. The bartenders are really great about staying on top of orders even though it was super busy. We had the Short Circuit, Taking Liberties, and an Irish coffee. All three drinks were well made. Short Circuit was my drink, and I was impressed with how smooth it was. I wish this wasn't so far from home, but it will always definitely be worth a trip when we do decide to go back. read more

The Dead Rabbit is one of the busiest spots in the FiDi. Step inside, walk up to the bar and then look for an area to enjoy your beverage. Even if it's packed, there's always a little spot to snuggle up and have fun. Look around at the unique art work on the walls. So much to see!! There's a slightly less busy bar on the second floor with a fabulous bartender. No matter where you're at, you're welcomed with a bottle of water to share with your group which I really appreciate. This time, we only ordered drinks and they were amazing!! read more

First know going that this place is packed! If you are looking for a table make advance reservations. Service was quick kind and accurate. They have Magners Cider on tap and it was fantastic! Only place in NYC I know that does. I had bangers and mash at the bar. It came quick and was the best I've ever had. Only thing I didn't like was the leafy garnish on top. Great live entertainment of Irish folk music. Completes the vibe. No TVs at all in the place! Which I loved. They do have a few that they swing down when the Irish sports games are on. Place gets packed to the gills, so much as it's hard to move and later in the evening there was a line out the door 20 deep waiting to get in. Overall a great place for food, drinks and a fun night out downtown! read more

Can't believe I have never been here until yesterday. Came to check out the Holiday decorations and the speciality holiday drinks. We did not get a reservation for a table to sit down and eat. It is walk ins starting at 6pm here in December. I got here around 5:45pm did not have to wait on any line but when I got in it was packed and had to wait for a bar stool, which luckily some one left so I got a seat rather quickly. This also happened to both of my friends who came to meet me. We did not have any food, though people sitting next to us had some fries, steak, chicken fingers and what looked like mozzarella sticks. Man did it all smell soo good. We only had some of the holiday speciality drinks. My friends tried different drinks for the 3 rounds that we had while I stuck with the Espresso martini which instead of coffee beans on top it came with a little slice of a banana, which is different. I do not remember which drinks my friends had though. Yes, it was pretty busy so my first impression of the service was very slow. But than the bartender got to us quicker. She was very nice I will admit. I hope to be back to try out the food here but the drinks left a good impression on me. read more
