My family and I's experience here was amazing! They let us sit early from our reservation and were very accommodating the whole night. Our waiter, Will, was absolutely one of the best waiters I've had in NYC. He was very attentive, helpful, and great at recommendations of drinks and food. We never had to worry about waiting for more drinks, water, or food.
Their drinks were hands down the best I've had in NYC, not too expensive, very flavorful and not too strong or weak - just perfect.
All of their food was delicious. I absolutely recommend their fries (amazing sauces) as an appetizer, and the scotch eggs were very good as well. For main dishes, we had the sea bass, fried chicken, chicken pot pie, and fisherman's pie, and they were all really good.
I definitely recommend coming here at least once, especially if you're on vacation!
The Dead Rabbit in New York is a must-visit for anyone who loves craft cocktails and Irish pub fare. The drinks are outstanding, with a vast selection of creative and unique concoctions that are expertly crafted. The food is equally impressive, with traditional Irish dishes that have been elevated to new heights. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with a charming old-world aesthetic that transports you back in time. The service is top-notch, with knowledgeable and friendly staff who are happy to make recommendations. The only downside is the long wait time, but it's worth it for the exceptional experience. Overall, The Dead Rabbit is one of the best bars in the city and should not be missed.
Atmosphere should get 6. This isn't any old Irish pub and it's not the typical 'plastic paddy' bar you see around the world either. This is a venture owned and operated by Irish creative geniuses who want to use it as a platform for all that is great about the island of Ireland. Of all the Irish bars in Manhattan, this is the one that both feels like a little piece of Ireland AND you'll actually learn something about the islands people, geography and culture. Guinness is decent too. Which is probably the most important bit!
Highly recommended.
Such an awesome place. Okay so it isn’t truly an “old” bar, I think it was built/renovated in 2013, and I think they are trying to make it seems a lot older than it is. But it’s amazing anyways. Cocktails are great, beer is great, and food was very good (even my vegetarian wife thought it was awesome).
Would definitely recommend and come back too.
The best of best bars I have ever been to.
I believe new york city has altogether different vibe.
Heard a lot about dead rabbit, and finally we reserved our table in way advance.
Got seated in their booth style seating which was pretty rustic.
Started with oysters and ‘psycho killer’
Which was really really good.
Then we moved to second floor which has more dimly lit environment with good music.
Got my second drink: Mean fiddler which was pretty pretty mean ( def gonna get you tipsy)
For food: fries, fried chicken, oysters everything was real good.
Drinks: psycho killer, mean fiddler, house okd fashioned all three are good.
Its a must try!
