Dead Rabbit Reviews

really great experience. The downstairs has a really old NYC bar feel while upstairs is a whole other experience: the cocktail menu is a graphic novel and the drinks are amazing. Definitely recommend if you're looking for something different to do for drinks after work / weekend in Manhattan. A little expensive but not too far off from what you would pay at a "regular" bar.

Fantastic atmosphere, and mind-bogglingly good cocktails. Had one made from scotch, milk and coconut that was completely clear (somehow). It was all delicious. Also, no TVs is a big boon. Love this place.

Fantastic cocktails upstairs and good service. Unfortunately the wait is too long, and the wait times are often inaccurate.

As a native New Yorker and someone who has gone to cocktail bars for the past six years I find the service at this bar abyssmal at best. The fact this bar is even compared to stalwarts in the city such as Employees Only or Wilfie and Nell is quite sad. I would recommend avoiding this FIDI tourist trap as quickly as possible. The drinks are good but the service is awful.

Dead Rabbit and it's parent company and other spots such as Black Tail are without a doubt some of the greatest and most fun places you can go! I love going to The Dead Rabbit and introducing my friends, new and old, to this incredible place. From the food to the selections of libations and artistic cocktails you can't go wrong! However what ties it all together is the staff, front of the house, back of the house, and also the management and support staff they are a tremendous team! Social media is second to none!
Wait in line it's worth it!

Great bar, interesting selection of drinks. Quite compact.

Brilliant Cocktails with wide varieties of flavor.The place was really awesome and the staff was cooperative . The Price was genuine as per quality. If i talk about the music which was superb.

Make sure you get a spot on the second floor which is where all the world famous cocktails are served. Having won best cocktail bar a few times, the cocktails are just as good as you'd expect. Flavor combinations are amazing and you'll enjoy any cocktail that you order from their huge list.

This bar was a revelation! The atmosphere takes you back to what it must have been like 100 years ago. It is so unpretentious and confidant. The bartenders know their stuff producing perfect cocktails with a flair. The prices are very good by NYC standards. We loved it! Get a seat at the bar if you can.

Kind of place that makes you wait an hour even when they're empty. Good drinks though. Just make sure you come here with no intention of going to another bar that night. AKA tourists only.

Impressive cocktail menu albeit a bit overwhelming.

Truly amazing cocktails. One of the best cocktail bars I've been too, and they have food! Loved having the Irish breakfast here

Great food, huge variety of drinks and cocktails. Very friendly staff and great music.

The drinks and food was great here! I highly recommend the pork belly sliders!

Great feel to this cozy bar. Good beer selection and the food options seemed appetizing. Will return to explore their food menu

I was won over the second time I came here - lovely spot and if you're hungry the food is decent too.

Came here on a recommendation from a friend. Thoroughly enjoyed my time here, popped in for lunch at the bar. The service was great, and food was to match. Had the sliders with quail eggs, really hit the spot washed down with a great selection of beers.

Great atmosphere for any occasion. Bartenders are charming and know how to take care of you. Unique character in the neighborhood, good blend of the old world and the new.

It s a must stop for a good beer. The food will not disappoint either. Would definitely go back.

The grand dame of cocktail bars in Manhattan. The tequila cocktails are fantastic.

Friendly staff, great atmosphere, can't wait to go back.

One of the best bars in nyc if not the best. Amazing food, drinks and atmosphere. The staff are friendly and very knowledgeable.

Let me begin with the name, The Dead Rabbits were an irish gang located in the five points in the 1850's. The bar itself has a very old world look and feel to it, especially the 2nd floor parlor. The food elevated irish pub fare, everything on the menu is delicious, my favorites include the sunday special prime rib roast, the lamb lollipops and the Cumberland sausage roll. The drink menu is extensive and again all delicious i am a whiskey and scotch lover, and the range and variety of irish whiskey is unbelievable they may have the largest selection of irish whiskies in NY. Finally last but not least they have live irish music on sundays which is music to my ears...

I really love this place. Unfortunately hard go have a table now because of 25% of capacity but still worth it!
Try tree mini burgers and lamb chops... delicious!

They didn't get rated top cocktail bar in America for no reason. Wonderful cocktails and attentive service. It's a wait to get a table so show up early. Enjoy yourself and don't expect a turn and burn bar. Expect an experience.

Open late into the night. This Irish pub nestled among New York's skyscrapers showcases New York's pre-evening by welcoming friends in post-work. Very good beer and wide choice. I tried the toast which I highly recommend. Nice waitresses, online prices and fun environment. Local with music. There are two or three floors

Very nice place. We visited this place on 31 December 2017. It was very crowded. It has nice food and drinks. Best part is the live music at the ground floor. Loved it.

I won't even lie: I went here because the targeted ads on facebook said it was a Lakers bar. They must have picked up on the 80,000 times I mention Lakers in my updates.

This spot has superb service and delightful food. One of my favourite spots in the city. The food arrived fast and the rates are reasonable. I recommend this place.

I had another visit to this destination cocktail and Irish pub fare location in the Financial District. This restaurant doesn't take reservations so be mindful of the timing of your visit. The three-story location is a quintessential New York City building with every square inch being maximized.

There are three levels. The first level is your classic Irish bar with sawdust on the floor to prove its real deal authenticity. There is a small shop in the back of the bar area which sells various sundries of Irish food. The second floor is called the Parlor where it is a classic sit-down restaurant vibe. The third floor is the occasional floor. The third floor is for special events. There are mainly high tables and stools.

The three levels are connected by one long straight staircase as you enter the bar. I wonder how many free shots of whiskey were provided to getting the building permit for this location. I am of course joking. This bar and place are all above board, but New York City has some amazingly tight spaces. It is not Tokyo or Hong Kong, but we make small areas work for us.

For the location and ambiance, we were sat in the Occasional room. We were located in a corner which was pretty good for our group of four. We ordered drinks, an appetizers and lunch entrees.

For the drinks, we all ordered the Irish Coffee for $12 each. Dead Rabbit is dead famous for their cocktails. I had this signature before, and it was pitch perfect as usual. We asked if they do a decaf version of this drink and we were told an unequivocally no. This cocktail for me was the high point of the meal.

For the food, there are lunch specials which I ordered the Fried Fish Sandwich which was fresh cod-type white fish. It was a significant portion. The group shared the Lobster Deviled Eggs for $15. There were lobster chunks, and it was delicious. Another person ordered the Homemade Vegetable Soup for $8 with added chicken for $2. The portion was more substantial for this bowl as well. There was another sandwich ordered, the Ham and Cheese Toastie for $16.
It has Irish Cheddar, Raclette, and Smoked Ham. All sandwiches came with Hand-Cut Fries. Finally, my wife had the Short Rib Sliders for $21
This item comes with Garlic, Aioli, and Red Onion Jam. The sliders were plump and flavorful. She shared one of the three slides which were terrific.

I look forward to coming back closer to St. Patrick's Day because I am not often in the area. It is worth a visit. For all those taller gentlemen and ladies, be careful not knock your head as you walk up and down the staircase.

When you can get a seat at one of the upstairs bars, this place is glorious. When you are stuck on the first floor, it is pretty terrible. Last time I was there, the wait for a table for 6 upstairs was *3 hours* at 6:30 PM. On top of that, service on the first floor has gone way downhill. (Picture bartenders and barbacks chatting away with each other while people crowd the bar. Not cool when you're paying $15 for a cocktail and can barely breathe.)

In short: Check out Fraunces Tavern around the corner. Historic, and you'll be happier.

Wonderful pub downstairs and creative cocktail bar upstairs. Love the decor, and friendly staff. They have good virgin cocktails too.

Simply the best cocktails with the best barmaid Brooke. It's a yes from me.

Epic little spot to spent NYE! Brilliant table service and quality food! Deserves all 5 stars

These guys knew their menu well, and it was very unique. This place is also one of the top rated bars in the world. Definitely worth a drink if you're in NYC.

Great cocktails and setting.
To be seated on the upper floor will take 30 minutes at least during busy hours, but the wait is worth it.

Love this place and the amazing cocktails that they have. It s no surprise that it was voted best cocktail bar in the world multiple times. Highly recommend

Amazing balanced cocktails and excellent wonderful staff. Absolutely superb.

Went for drinks on a Saturday night. Cool historical vibe, very busy, but excellent service.

Great pint of Guinness. Barry's tea made correctly. Food is good but small portions. I prefer the downstairs pub vibe to the upstairs cocktail bar area.

Not quite sure what they put in it, but the bloody Mary is amazing!

The Irish coffee was pretty good here along with good love music too.

Fantastic Experience! Came into Town to Visit my sister with my parents and took them to the Parlour on the 2nd Floor. The level of service was impeccable, the food was amazing and the Cocktails were unreal. Lived up to the Hype. Highly Recommend!

P.S.- For the food, I highly recommend the lamb chop pops. I could have eaten 8 of those in one sitting.

Been here several times and never disappointed. One of my favorites.

Always lovely drinks, great food and atmosphere. We sat inside and the set up was great.

Wish there were a few more options for gluten free.

Nice bar, great atmosphere. Not the cheapest though

My son had heard of this place, we needed to go. We were so pleasantly surprised. What atmosphere and easy going people. Has great food, drinks and I will be BACK!
More than 5 stars

Great pub experience. Good food. Great coffee. Non American portion sizes. It would be nice to add a second Scotch Egg.

It is a lovely place. The cocktails are excellent. It is a distinguish place for being nominated best bar of the world. I encourage everybody to go there, even if it is to taste the cocktail at the second flour (the parlour).

Lovely food. Friendly staff. Superb choice of food.

Came here for a weeknight cocktail and was impressed by how friendly and helpful the staff was, in spite of a deluge of day traders acting like complete arses all around.

Was also quite impressed by the fare. Burger was absolutely incredible and unexpected in what I thought was primarily a cocktail bar. And those cocktails were fantastic!

This place is so cool. I feel like I've stepped back in time when coming here. The drinks are always good and the food is really good. I've had the deviled eggs with bacon a few times...really good. A lot of my buddies like the deviled eggs with lobster. the chicken pot pie is so good here. Even the basic ham and cheese toastie is really good.

Great Irish pub with delicious drinks and really good food. A must for Irish coffee. It closed the day after this visit due to a fire, so check on re-opening before visiting.

Excellent craft cocktails! Great ambiance and good time!

I had tremendous fun making patterns in the saw dust with my farts.

Disappointing service in the pub downstairs. The lady in the cocktail area was polite. After a few drinks we went somewhere else. Shame as we were looking forward to visiting.

If you want an awesome time with staff and patrons, then this is the place to go. Their food is down-home fabulous and truly is the best pub in the world.

Axing place, amazing cocktail, this place is a must if you are in NYC!!! And the service.. 6 star service!!

Excellent dive bar in the financial district. Great selection of drinks with a fab menu. Friendly service. Highly recommended.

The bartender was incredible. Friendly and welcoming. I could see why they say this is the best bar in nyc

This is now one of my favorite places I've ever been. Fantastic decor, phenomenal drinks, great food, fast and pleasant service, just everything top notch! Love the music mix, too.

Quirky small bar on the ground floor-really nice beer selection but very very crowded

Named one of the best bars in Manhattan. Wall Street atmosphere but the drinks are legit good. Get upstairs if you can. $1 oysters at happy hour. #vero #travel #nyc

If you're into ball crawls make this the number one spot to start..... Problem is you may not leave

I loved the entire structure.Bar selection were well manged .

This place tends to be packed, but has great beers and decent specials
