Dead Rabbit Reviews

Wife and I absolutely loved it. If we re ever in NY again, we ll definitely be going again. Wicked cool atmosphere, stellar food, and awesome story.

5 stars for amazing cocktails. In love with their "Doctors Orders". Menu does change seasonally, but always delicious! Love their laid back vibe in the middle of hustling and bustling FiDi.

Loved the atmosphere. The wait staff was super accommodating and really warm. Thank you for the espresso drink. I was super upset about something, and had a hard time keeping it in, and they were just so sweet about it. So thank you. Drinks were great, too.

Another of my guilty pleasure spots. Great drinks every time. Came once for lunch, fries were good, but place was half filled with regulars, experience wasn't the same as at night. Come here at night/evening to get the right feel and vibes for this spot.

I dined alone. The ambience was nice on the patio. The food was delicious, I took my leftovers home and they heated up nicely

Amazing place!!! Perfect cocktails, nice, knowledgable and attentive staff. Talented and entertaining piano player. All around a cool place. A true NYC find. I will be back!

Excellent food, beer and atmosphere. Staff is top notch, friendly and professional. One of New Yorks finest.

Great atmosphere for old new York but pricey food and drinks

Service was great. Fish and chips looked good, but fish was tasteless. My co-diner was satisfied with their burger.

Bad service, cocktails are expensive and not well mixed and on top of that... they tried to rob us... we payed some drinks plus Tips and the waitress told us that she wasn't counting or paying attention how much we already gave her.

Go to The Blacktail Bar nearby! it's the same owner but everything is better there. nice cocktails, frindly service and we even had chilled live music :)

A typical themed bar wrapped into a Frat party of 38 year olds. You'd think this was the only place downtown.

Classy place, good food and friendly bartender and staff. Serves up a decent martini.

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.

Wonderful wonderful place - loved the cocktails, loved the ambience, loved the food!

I had ordered doctors orders - beautifully prepared bourborn! Should try it

We had also ordered pork mini burgers, which were also delicious - not too much cheese, neither too less

Peculiar thing about this place is the sand on floor - at first I thought it was dust or just wearing out of wood - but then the aha moment

It's an excellent American pub! Authentic atmosphere, excellent cocktails and lots of staff beer !! And there country!

It was my dream for a long time to visit this bar - one of the best rated in the world - and I was too lucky to have an option to be there for a two times already. Drinks were always delicious, bartenders are really very professional - they know the menu perfectly ;) Thanks again for my Becherovka cocktail :*

Love the ambience here. The Scotch Egg is the must try! I will say it's the most delicious egg I have ever had in my life. Chicken pot pie is okay but not special. For cocktail, I ordered "spark plug". It smells like lemonade but way more smooth. Overall, it's a wonderful experience with my friend.Try to go upstairs to the parlor! They do a good job with atmosphere.
Good price drinks for the city. and no cover.
They don't push you out if u are there for the company and just a couple of drinks.
Does get crowded.
The food is a bit expensive for plain bar food.

Great drinks. Nice bartenders. Slow service most of the time when it's packed which is a little understandable.

Great Irish coffee...even better they sell the coffee by the bag as well(

If you want old school Irish pub and love whiskey then this is the place for you.

Love this place, great quirky pub on various floors, didn't get chance to explore all of it. Great food and friendly staff, definitely recommend, make a trip if you aren't already in the area.

Small Pub with excellent drinks. The staff was amazing. I suggest trying the Irish grog.

Amazing cocktails!!! One you visit this place you keep craving for it even in your sleep . Best cocktails I ever had . Small place but cute , No onsite parking pls look for street parking .

Always an EXCELLENT atmosphere with killer food and perfect cocktails!!! Prices aren t cheap but you get what you pay for!!! I will be back again!!!

Food is delicious! Also love the specialty cocktails. Highly recommend the lobster roll

Very fun
The drinks are very strong and expensive

Perhaps once the expansion is complete the space will regain my recommendation, but I was sorely disappointed to visit again and see the difference in service/attitude from the time immediately after being recognized as the "Best Bar in the World" to late 2018. Perhaps it was more driven by ambivalent service by bartenders or the push to make their Irish Coffee a focal point of the bar, but I left unimpressed and disappointed at the degradation of service culture.

Great bar, we enjoy a fanastic few pints of Guinness and the burgers were great too. Prices reasonable!

It's no wonder this place was previously voted the World's Best Bar!

Cool staff (Shane was my bartender)
Fast service
Savory (Scotch Egg & sausage roll)
Great ambience in the multiple rooms
Perfectly made drinks

This is one of the coolest restaurants / bars in NYC. The atmosphere is killer and the food is top-notch. Whether you are a local or a tourist, this is a great place to go.

Was definitely better than average. Service was good, despite the lively crowd there for Sunday brunch.

Great cocktails. Expansive drink list with many ingredients in each

If you want a drink, this way!
Lovely cocktails. The bartender's a genius. Just the right amount.
A colorful bar in the heart of the financial world.

Great atmospheric place. Very tasty food. The portions pleasantly surprised! Huge selection of whiskey. For lunch for two gave $ 60.

Cosy pub, welcoming and knowledgeable staff, nice food.

Scrumptious brunch, great service, despite being so close to so many tourist attractions. Also features an astonishingly well provisioned bar. Really would love to come back for cocktails.

A bit tight, but it contributes to the atmosphere. They claim to have the best Irish coffee in NYC and they mean it! Their punch is pretty good as well and the staff is excellent. I would highly recommend stopping by if you are in the area.

Granted it was during the day but the atmosphere was lacking - I was expecting more. Irish coffees are something else though, easy to see why they are a speciality!

Awesome bar in one of the oldest parts of NYC. Amazing Bloody Mary - so great that they wouldn't tell us what the 'secret' ingredients in it were.

Got a table on second floor martini bar. Terrific drinks, amazing attentive staff. The short rib sliders are a must have (OMG goodness.)

The place is situated in a fine area of the FDR!
The menu is full of WHISKY a must if you look for a good drink in NYC!

Cocktails are great and food is also available.Nice place to chill with friends.

Went to the dead rabbit and had a blast with all of my peers and friends. The Irish coffee here is actually great tasting and I truly enjoyed the bar. I'm not much of a drinker but this place was grade A. Awesome job with the bar, great service and people. Will be going there again next time.

The bar downstairs is pretty standard with a decent vibe but the cocktail bar upstairs is the real deal. Great cocktails with amazing ambience and awesome back-story.

Not sure what is the hype... awful service, no place to sit, drinks are small and expensive, crowd was immature and rude
Paying for the location

One of the best Irish pubs been to. As close to Ireland as can get. Great selection of whisky.

Great Irish colonial chicken pot pie cheeseburger s

Cozy and welcoming. Excellent food. Good selection of draught beers. Truly amazing selection of Irish whiskeys. Friendly and attentive staff. Great place whether you're flying solo, a couple, or in a group. Make sure you're hungry when you go. You won't regret it!

Cocktails aside this is a VERY overrated bar, average service in upstairs room at lunch and better food available in other bars in area. Being trendy doesn't make it good.

Got sat within a few minutes on a Friday! Very impressive graphic novel menu and creative cocktails.

Great service. Amazing food. Outstanding whiskey selection.

Crowded, noisy and overpriced. Go once but don't plan on going back...

The crumble blue was delicious, thick patty with lots of juice and flavor. Definitely recommend this place.

Atmosphere was nothing like an Irish pub and was far too expensive.

Our bar tender was super friendly and the drink was delicious! Wish it wasn't so crowded.

They get 5 stars for drinks at the Parlor. Really well thought out comic book menu with drinks that tell the story. But some details need attention desperately . The banquette against the walls are so uncomfortable because no back cushions

Excellent place to have a cocktail. It lives up to its popularity. Excellent setting. We went on a Friday night at about 23 and found place on the third floor.

On the ground floor, a classic and crowded pub, to go upstairs, specialized in cocktails, we waited five minutes on Friday evening. Upstairs it is much quieter and you have a seat at the table or counter. The staff is very kind and professional, the service is impeccable. They served us a free tasting. The menu is varied, in fact the difficult thing is to choose cocktails, we tried three and they were better than the other. Really recommended.

Yum. The food was fun and good. I tasted the hotdog - just had the plain dog wrapped in bacon because I wanted to try other things too. The hot Cheeto elote was really good as was the carne asada fries.

I can't say enough great things about this place. Definitely get the Irish coffee.

Amazing scene. Very methodical and enjoyable. Just plain awesome.

Amazing cocktails. Reasons it was voted as one of the best.

Friendly bartenders, great food and cocktails. Perfect environment too!

Great spot to enjoy a post-work drink. Their craft cocktail menu is unique and impressive. It's a cute little space but wouldn't be so good for a large group of people because of a lack of places to sit.

I recommend their old fashions! Delish!

Very crowded even though it was a sunday night .
Food and bartenders were nice.

This is my favorite bar. The cocktails are unrivaled. Gangs of New York vibe is awesome. The parlor room is well worth the wait.

Nice but way too expensive at 12 to 15 dollar smallish cocktails
