Dead Rabbit Reviews

We visited for dinner for the first time. There are 3 levels. The 3rd floor is for private parties only. When arriving the host said it was a 25 minute wait for the taproom which is the Dining room on the 2nd floor. We waited in the the Parlor on the first floor which is a bar with some live music. The Taproom was extremely crowded but we were able to get drinks within 5-7 minutes. After waiting about 15 minutes the pager buzzed that our table was ready. We went to the second floor and were seated. Fish and chips we're amazing but the gnoche was just ok. Ambience was amazing and they piped the live music through speaker that was playing downstairs. The experience was very nice and will come back.

On a summer night, it s great to have a cocktail here.

Place was awesome. Great service. Nice people. Very expensive but it's NYC.

Delicious and very friendly staff. 100% recommendable

Sam was amazing. Her knowledge of cocktails and personality made it a memorable visit. Must see if in NYC. Irish Coffee a must try.

As a craft cocktail fan, I was really hyped up to visit The Dead Rabbit. It did not disappoint. The three cocktails we had were delicious (I would have loved to have more but at $15 a pop, 3 was plenty). I thought the food was great; enjoyed the chips with dipping sauce and the fried fish. The apple crumble was less of a crumble and more of a doughy pie, but still yummy. Very glad to have made the stop here - worth the visit!

The food is incredible here and I cannot recommend it highly enough. The cocktails are equally stunning and it is a beauty of a venue. If you're able to get one of the booths on the ground floor I would recommend it!

As a local I always take my friends from other countries here whenever they come and visit NY this is my favorite place to give them a taste of the city!

Great cocktails and cool decor. Feels welcoming inside

Bar at the top! atypical in New York .. really to do

Great experience, the cocktails are terrific! This is a landmark, so it will be packed have some patience. Overall a very exciting place, world class!

Was great but they had a fire the next day and I think it's now closed for a while..!

If you go to Manhattan you simply must visit the Dead Rabbit, the coolest bar I have ever had the pleasure of drinking at.

Best whiskey sour in a long time. Efficient. Great vibe.

Charming lower level bar. It has decent late night food but expect to pay thru the nose for it. Beer is good.

I love this place and cocktails truly the best in NY.

Food was good, but service was painfully slow. Took forever to get drinks.

This is one of the best cocktail bars in NYC and likely in the world. My personal favorite cocktails are drop dead gorgeous and bang out of order.
On the food side, lobster stuffed devilled eggs are a must have as well Scotch eggs. Other than that, it is a well executed menu of bar Staples.

Phenomenal. Cocktails so good they will ruin all the other cocktails for you.

We started at the lower floor drinking some fresh Guinness, sipping through a flight of Irish whiskies (Green spot, Redbreast 12 are excellent drams), eating a cheese & charcuterie platter, a burger, and shepherd's pie.

As the night progressed we moved on upstairs to the cocktail bar. Sleek, dark yet warm atmosphere surrounded us with black & red color themes. Each of us had about 4 cocktails in total - oh what a pleasure. Freshness, precision, complexity. Well done.

The service was fantastic and prompt, in both areas of the establishment.

Best place in FiDi. Excellent food, super creative drinks and atmosphere. Definitely a favorite and worth the wait to get a table!

Expensive AF. Their custom drinks are great and all come with a story. You want a novel place and not afraid of a 3 (or 4) digit tab? go here.

I love this place. Great bar down and up. Great service Great menu Great experience

I came here for a quick drink before dinner elsewhere with my boyfriend. I realized there, while at The Dead Rabbit NYC, what most LA restaurants are missing when compared to New York - a lively, yet inviting atmosphere. It was so nice to feel that energy again while at The Dead Rabbit NYC.

Thank's for all.
Thumbs up.

Exceeded all expectations. Our bartender Ian was not only extremely knowledgeable but equally hospitable. Gave great recommendations. I would recommend all of my friends make a special trip to the Dead Rabbit.

Great atmosphere, delicious food. Can be a bit of a squeeze but it's well worth it!

Small watering hole for after work meet ups. Great whiskey selection. Good selection of beers on tap including Guinness.

awesome atmosphere. Really liked the old photos attached to the walls for interior furnishing. drinks are awesome and bartenders are friendly

Great food and drinks, even better service and conversation with Shane at the bar. He was amazing, from Ireland, such interesting stories! Took a genuine interest in us. Had the black bean burger and a "honeymoon" cocktail, delish.

Very disappointed, worst customer service I experienced on our entire vacation. I recommend visiting the airport over visiting them.

Indeed the Worlds best bar. Amazing cocktails. But the ambiance isn't that great hence only 4. But for drinks I wanna give 6 out of 5

Downstairs get the double Dutch

2nd level. First page is papa smurf which is champagne gin cucumber in a champagne glass. Bluecoat is super smooth Japanese whiskey in old lady glass. Pusherman is gin cucumber drink. Resurrection man is super smooth nothing.

A lovely bar. Nice atmosphere downstairs and really just wonderful upstairs. Great drinks and really great food. Cocktails are super expensive, and $7 for bud light downstairs, but $12 beer shot combo. Loved it here.

Deserves 5 stars, great beef sandwich and cocktails, skillful service, everything we else in this place.

Overrated. Crowded and drinks were ok at best. Waitresses more focused on getting more people to fit than serving.

A true bar with a story. Had a Snap Decision, a very refreshing and strong whiskey and americano cocktail

Great cocktails! Always packed but always worth the wait. The menu is so fun, set up as a unique comic book. Food was amazing but really you go for the drink menu and atmosphere

Best cocktails I've had. Very very busy on weekend. Highly Recommended

Three bar/restaurants on three levels. Gets crowded so there can be a wait. Mixologists are considered the best of the best. Food is great. Comfy food. The hostesses are super friendly. Free shots of the house specialty drink of the day are tray passed.

Amazing place for cocktails!
The lower level is already a great pub by itself, where you can have good food and drinks. But for some great cocktails you have to go tho the second floor. Amazing!

There is a reason The Dead Rabbit was voted as #1 cocktail bar in the world. You must check it out for yourself to see why.

Largest selection of Irish whiskey and delicious and creative handmade cocktails.

The scotch egg is incredible. This was my first time at the Dead Rabbit but I will be back very soon. They have delicious appetizers and the best cocktails in NYC.

Good choice of cocktails. Original menu. Comic idea is cool

Awesome. I m picky so I ordered the two that sounded least appealing to me and was blown away. The doctors orders and the trailblazer. These girls rocked my world. Can not wait to go back.

Super-friendly service, gourmet food (chicken pot pie is superb) and an endless wall of whiskeys in a cool old space full of character in FiDi.

Service was slow but great atmosphere & food is good.

Service is impeccable but for the cost it better be! Interesting place with lots of curious decorations. Delicious cocktails. Very busy but easy to get a seat if you just wait a few minutes

Great atmosphere, reasonable prices. Staff was all very helpful. Can't wait to go back!

Truly amazing little pub! Well done boys, keep up the good work.

Excellent food, outstanding service, great drinks. Bar was jammed. The Parlour was very nice. LovedReally enjoyed the atmosphere.

Great vibe, excellent drinks list (including a nice whisky selection and creative cocktails), and a well-deserved reputation as a top spot for nightlife in Manhattan.

They the food is a little bit expensive but the place and the foods woth it!

Very nice place to hangout . The burger is out of this world . A bit pricey though

Great place to hangout. I will go back soon. Cool and relaxed place. Amazing Irish whiskey.

Best drink I've ever had! Ambiance is unforgettable!

In the cocktail bar upstairs we were given booklets with the cocktail choices interspersed with images of torture & murder. If this sort of thing appeals to you stay & drink. We didn't.

Much bigger now. It's pricey but still a fun place to take people for a few drinks. Always good music and atmosphere.

I've always been philosophically against cocktails. I worship single ingredients at a time. However, when coming here, it was so obviously good and (Dare i say it) served the best prepared, most daring, and most consistent cocktails I've ever had. I will be coming here again, and it will be a celebration.

I'm still reeling.

They have now reopened after a fire. Very busy place. Rated as one of the top gun mills in NYC. Expanding next door shortly. Go and then say you went there. Very busy so you take your chances in food quality, service and drinks. Been there, done that.

To test the status, I ordered a cocktail i thought I d hate. I was wrong. They re the best all around.

Great food, drinks, and service. The Irish Coffee was fantastic. Will definitely be back when visiting the city.

Always fun casual best fish and chips that I ever have including London and Glasgow every time I m surprised 2 c there creativity great service !

World's best pub, exceptional drinks and absolutely amazing food - we tried truffle fries and pork belly sliders and both were delicious. Also great service! Must go in NYC!

The best Irish coffee I've had. Great burger. Place is always packed.

Cozy cocktail lounge with handcrafted unique drinks. Not cheap, but worth an occasional visit and splurge.

What a wee gem of a place. We where in New York for my birthday and heard so many people talking about this place back home in Ireland that we had to make a point of visiting. We certainly weren't disappointed, the atmosphere was amazing, the look and feel of the place was very homely. I wish we could of stayed longer. I hope to be in New York again and when I do this will be my first port of call.

Overrated place :(. Not sure why it was rated the best. Not the most welcoming staff or ambience.

Probably the best bar in the world.

Irish pub with a great feeling, great cocktails and music. 5/5

When you enter, you see the old-fashioned pub with sawdust on the floor. It had lots and lots of photos on the antique-looking ceiling, and a large wall paining on the left site. It was a bit narrow, and not really a place for a sit-down meal. If you are just wanting to get some craft beer, bottled punch, and whiskeys of the world, then this is the spot.

Since we were there to eat. we went upstairs to the Parlor. The dining space was filled with photos, wall to wall. They were all numbered, so I assume they have a list somewhere that tells us a description of each photo. The furniture other than chairs seemed pretty old, nice thick wood tables. Possibly the original flooring, and very impressive ceiling with exposed wood beam. I liked the darker green wall, that went really well with the rest of decor, and gave nice, relaxing atmosphere.

Everything was really good here, even thought the prices are on a bit high side, but the quality was really high. The service was ok, but not great. As we sat down (without anyone directing us to a table), no one came for a while... until I went to grab a couple of menus, and started to look at them... But other than that, it was ok, the staffs were polite.

Overall, we had nice time here, and food and drinks were great. I would love to go back for some other menu items they offer. Read my full review of this restaurant and food on my food blog, foodlovergirl.

Cocktails were amazing. They were confident that all were gluten free (no potentially problematic flavored liquors). They have gluten free items marked on their menu. I wasn't there to eat, so I didn't ask many questions about cross contamination. Do note that their fryer isn't dedicated to gluten free food, so don't go for the fries if that's a concern.

Nice bar with really good cocktails and fries close to battery park.

Good fillet of Angus, excellent beer. Spectacular choice of whiskey
