Vivian RamirezFebruary 5, 2017Yes the cocktails are amazing, however you need a lot of patience to go here as it gets very crowded and seating is very limited which makes it a challenge to enjoy your cocktail.
JEBFebruary 20, 2022Everything here is to die for and the atmosphere is cool as hell! Food and drinks are out of this world
Time Out New YorkOctober 5, 2018In a redbrick three-story landmark, Belfast bar vets have conjured up a rough-and-tumble 19th-century tavern with a refined cocktail parlor upstairs. Read more
ginnnnnnny 🦀December 12, 2018Good ale, good tartare, and cute menu upstairs. Also love the sand on the floor!
Go upstairs. The cocktails are world-class and the menu is a piece of art. Laid-back pub feel makes it accessible.
Ashgan AiunitApril 2, 2018The best cocktail I have ever tried!!! And Nick was awesome! Thank you for everything! We’ll come back!!
Caroline On CrackNovember 2, 2013If you are into stirred aromatic cocktails, order the Gladstone with rye, aquavit, Marie Brizard Parfait Amour, absinthe, gum Arabic, Dead Rabbit Orinoco bitters, mace tincture.
Peter RSeptember 24, 2016For the world's best cocktails in an old pub aesthetic in the middle of the financial district with multiple rooms. Pulls a big lunch crowd.
HeidiApril 21, 2017They should review by floor. 1st fl: crowded, standard bar feel with draft beers. 2nd fl: the bar that won the #1 bar in the world. 3rd fl: breathing room, small cocktail menu, good service.
Great food, cocktails, spirits. If only it weren't in FiDi this place would be perfect. As is, try to come when the bankers won't be there.
JeffreyDecember 16, 2013This multi-level Gangs Of New York-era'd tap room, parlor, and grocery brought over one of the UK's top talents to tend a tome-like menu. It's been raking in Best of the Year awards ever since.
They've won a ton of awards for their cocktails, and for good reason. It's a more intimate experience upstairs, you just have to wait for a seat.
Mila MilaAugust 24, 2014The waitress is cute and the Irish coffee was served warm. The music was popping. And the pot pie smelled absolutely delicious.
Esther YumFebruary 23, 2013this place is amazingly friendly with even more amazing drinks. the ale flip, cider no. 4 and whiskey daisy are amazing. a piano player and the servers will sing a great tune if you're lucky!~- Jackson IsaacsonDecember 14, 2015Cozy bar with excellent cocktails and friendly bartenders who actually add some personality.
Michael KleinJanuary 31, 2017Their official designation as "The Best Bar in the World" is rightfully deserved. Expansive cocktail menu of perfectly blended drinks.
BeeNovember 22, 2014Very cozy place. Excellent whiskey and cocktail selection and best scotch egg I've ever had. Note that there's a wait to get upstairs
Nina YiamsamathaJuly 29, 2013Damn good cocktails upstairs. Order a drink that comes in an antique porcelain cup (with built-in mustache guard) and feel transported to old Mannahatta.
Kate ZrazhevskayaJanuary 3, 2020great cozy atmosphere, friendly bartenders, tasty cocktails (tried pay per view)
Laura MerrittApril 18, 2018The drinks are phenomenal. The food is amazing. And the atmosphere is incredible, especially in the parlor. Fav bar in the city!
Wilson ZhouSeptember 7, 2014I had clover club and it was delicious. Try some dark liquor based drinks. They had a big selection of whiskey, rye, and bourbon.
Mario NetoDecember 3, 2017Great “hidden” pub in the middle of the financial district! Would definately come back
Staff is lovely, decor is terrifically turn-of-the-century NY and the cocktails are delicious. This place is much needed in the vast desert of mediocre bars/restaurants in FiDi.
Dylan GorntoMay 30, 2023Best bar I’ve ever been to. Got the windmill tree and the day glow. Both were great. This bar lives up to every ounce of the hype!
WEI WEISeptember 2, 2016Great drinks. Good food. Takes some waiting time to get upstairs and can be a bit disorienting for first-timers.
Eleonora ZorziApril 9, 2015Charming and cosy. Try both Parlor and Taproom. Extensive collection of whiskeys and inventive cocktails.
- Sabarish RaghupathyNovember 10, 2017Great cocktails, especially on the comic book menu upstairs! Be prepared to wait to get a table upstairs, though.
Theresa GApril 17, 2013$1 oyster happy hour, amazing classic cocktail menu. love that this opened in the neighborhood! if you want to avoid the boring corporate crowd that packs the downstairs head to the parlor upstairs...
Michael AmbjornOctober 8, 2013A worthwhile establishment indeed. Oyster happy hour 5-7pm and many other joys. Named after the1850s eponymous mascot and in turn gang http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Rabbits (at The Dead Rabbit)
todd richmanMarch 16, 2013I can have a pint and a Jager downstairs or a sublime cocktail upstairs and the love, attentive service and care is the same. Double win.- Lears FoolSeptember 30, 2015Our service was slow, but the Scotch Egg and Irish Whiskey were perfection. (I normally drink Bourbon - but seriously - go Irish here.)
Alex MizrahiJune 17, 2013"situated in a 185-year-old building at the southern tip of Manhattan. The Dead Rabbit is not low-key; it's insane—so geeky and so history-obsessed that by all rights it should be an impossible..." Read more
Yaz MusFebruary 27, 2015I love coming in from the cold and thawing out with a warm whiskey punch. Can't go wrong with the cocktails or the food here.
Carolyn LahorgueApril 13, 2014Best cocktails in Manhattan. Get the Green Dragon or Spirit of '49, both phenomenal. All of the drinks are incredibly complex and well crafted
Joe JunterealOctober 27, 2013At night, the difference between the upstairs and downstairs bars is almost night and day. Def go up, but watch out for the low tables when sitting on the benches.
Yami AlonsoApril 6, 2017Must try the cocktail list. Lobster deviled eggs are a must for apps. Ambiance is better upstairs at a table- the A ingredientMarch 8, 2014The downstairs area has a bigger food menu than upstairs. It's a great cocktail joint with appetizers only. 4 $50 punch bowl options!
Matthew LifshotzJanuary 29, 2016Upstairs has an unbelievable cocktail selection. Everything we had was excellent
Bryan ChangSeptember 9, 2016best speakeasy bar... period. great cocktails, mellifluous music, nice service and bartenders and hip crowd.
Alex RavenelJuly 8, 2015Great cocktails in financial district. Just about everything is tasty. A welcome addition to the area.
BarChickAugust 14, 2013Enter a time warp, this 19th Century Irish tavern, makes BarChick wanna rock out to Drop Kick Murphy’s
GQ MagazineSeptember 22, 2015Downstairs you’ll find saw-dust-covered floors, craft beers on tap, and one of the country’s largest collections of Irish whisky.- Ariana VoyerJuly 2, 2016Scotch eggs or cornflake French toast for brunch; $1 oysters and absinthe drink cocktails for happy hour upstairs
Roger BloemNovember 22, 2014Best cocktailbar in New York. Get a seat upstairs and enjoy the awesome menu.
- This is the place whenever u want a quality cocktail, good services and no pretentiousness, regardless that u r wearing louboutin or armani suit or just T-shirt sneakers.
Cindy RunyanMarch 8Great food ..The atmosphere was pleasant. Quite spacious and airy. It was also good to see they do serve drinks here.
IrmaZandl ZandlSlantSeptember 6, 2015Totally gone downhill. Don't know who they paid off to get best bar in the world. With buzzer that tells you when they are ready for you reminds me of red lobster of speakeasies.
Caryl DizonMarch 29, 2016Incredible novel of a menu full of amazing cocktails.. A bucket list must for all cocktail lovers
