It's rare that cityfolk will be willing to travel all the way downtown for a truly great bar, but the Dead Rabbit will make the trip the financial district something worthwhile. Featuring an extensive menu of mostly Irish Whiskey, this quaint European import offers 3 different levels of experience. First and foremost is the ground level bar, where you can enjoy small eats like a Scotch Egg or Oysters, a limited cocktail menu and most of their top shelf whiskey. You can also buy European/UK style groceries from the bartender, like marmite, worchestire sauce and Irish breakfast tea, similar to Myers of Keswick. The top floor is the pour house where the cocktail menu quadruples and the food offering extends to full plates suitable for dinner.

Bottom Line: Cozy, somewhat low key and offering an impressive menu of spirits and pub food alike make the Dead Rabbit one of the best kept secret bars in NYC.
