- Expertly done old fashioned cocktails for a super reasonable price in FiDi. Peering outside the bar from within on sunny days is mesmerizing and the staff make you feel completely at home. Love it.
- 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...
- Lori-Jo SAugust 21, 2014Think the menu is cool? You can buy one... $50, but worth it if you're a cocktail fan, New York history fan, or are interested in the history of the Dead Rabbit Gang/have seen Gangs Of New York.
- Carlos Wavel Chaves FilhoJanuary 5, 2018Great place with excelent food and awesome cocktails. There are 3 floors with distinct environments so you can go there for parties or even for a date.
- Mary M MottaDecember 15, 2014What's not good here? I always go for a drink with Chartreuse because it's a difficult ingredient. but these people know what they're doing! sit at the bar upstairs and watch their magic!
- AmateurConciergeApril 7, 2015Taproom's fine, but the main event is upstairs. Cocktails are delicious and have incredible depth. Don't worry about ordering something w/an intimidating spirit. Hit & Run's amazing!!
- 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.
- Brian ClancySeptember 30, 2016Loved the chicken pot pie on a rainy day. Probably the best I've ever had. One could serve two people (in a big eater and had half the pie left over).
- John BoothJuly 7, 2016Awesome cocktail bar, huge range of cocktails, helpful bar tenders and the doorman was great too. Head upstairs for $ oysters and green happy hour.
- JwowFebruary 27, 2015Some of the most delicious whiskey drinks in town! Insider tip: be sure to wait for an upstairs table, enjoy perusing the "book of cocktails" while sipping on some complementary punch!
- Heather Noonan-HargrovesNovember 23, 2014Everything about this place is wonderful. Food, drinks, history, decor, atmosphere, staff.... Best cocktail bar I've ever had the pleasure of being in. I loved it!
- Polina WeitzSeptember 11, 2022Superb cocktails, in a very cool and old school setting. They have a dining area with a food menu, but it gets busy, so better make reservations.
- 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
- Excellent bar. Three floors with different styles - first floor: bar style (always open late), second floor: cocktail bar with the cool Dead Rabbit comic book menu, third floor: bar with food.
- Mariana DreperDecember 26, 2022This bar definitely one of the best places where you can get brilliant daiquiri. My next visit would be at the Saturday morning. I heard their brunch is excellent.
- Lauren VeharNovember 6, 2021Good spot for a beer and late night meal. Their kitchen is open until 11:30ish, which is hard to find in FiDi.
- Aaron BatchelderAugust 4, 2016I wouldn't say the best bar in America, but it's a great spot. Solid beer selection and the cocktails are on point. Check out $15 meat pie and an ale on Tuesdays.
- It can often be too crowded due to it's lonely status in the FiDi, but The Dead Rabbit has an impressive book of inventive cocktails, expertly crafted drinks, and a solid food menu to match.
- 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.
- Blake OlmsteadFebruary 8, 2016If you can find the elbow room in this always-lively joint, you won't be disappointed with the abundance of whiskey and perfectly-balanced cocktails.
- Chet ManciniMay 12, 2017Get the seat upstairs for some insane cocktails. Bartenders are super helpful--definitely get their suggestions. Short rib sliders make a tasty side.
- Alina MikhaylovaJanuary 27, 2016Best service and huuge list of original cocktails. Sweet and professional staff. Parlor on 2nd floor - must visit
- Clarissa BlancoSeptember 19, 2014Excellent choice for a date that you feel like you might need that option of spending extensive time reading the cocktail menu. Because the menu literally is a book.
- 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!~
- Zac SniderOctober 20, 2014Head upstairs for the civilized sips. It's run by one of the worlds best bartenders (no exaggeration) and well worth the wait downstairs, amongst the sea of suits.
- Eric LApril 20, 2014Irish tavern with separate cocktail den upstairs. Great drinks, arranged by characteristics (fiery, fresh, ambitious etc). Great ambiance too - mid-1800s vibe.
- Matthew McConkeyDecember 7, 2019Lovely bar, amazing whisky selection and the best Irish coffee you'll ever taste.
- Jess MireauMay 26, 2017Quite possibly some of the best cocktails I've ever had. If you go soon and the eye candy is on the menu, don't miss it.
- James HollandSeptember 9, 2016Bar food downstairs is amazing. Cocktails upstairs are great. Don't be put off if there's a long wait time for a table - it's almost never as long as they expect.
- Andrew CDecember 10, 2018Always been the best bar... but now with so many accolades, it is unbelievably crowded and not as enjoyable as previous visits:( 45 min wait for the cocktail bar upstairs!!
- Nicholas BeckJuly 17, 2013cocktail menu is inspired by some 70 drinks you might have knocked back in the 19th century -"hot and cold communal punches, bishops, flips, possets and nogs, cups and cobblers, sours, fixes, daisies
- Earl FrewApril 19The Dead Rabbit is not your average sports bar. The atmosphere is lively and energetic, and it's a great place to catch a game with friends while enjoying some delicious food and drinks.
- Ashgan AiunitApril 2, 2018The best cocktail I have ever tried!!! And Nick was awesome! Thank you for everything! We’ll come back!!
- Diego GranadaFebruary 23, 2018Food was great, I had the gnocchi that was delicious. Great selection of whiskys, Whiskeys and bourbons. Small bar with great atmosphere.
- John DuarteOctober 26, 2014Cool ambiance, loved the book of drinks/prohibition they give you. Drinks are great if you're a whisky guy/gal otherwise may not be the place for you. Friendlier service could have made the experience
- Jessica ANovember 7, 2014The food and cocktails here are superb. However the crowd and location aren't ideal. But it's probably the best in the neighborhood. I had a fantastic evening here.
- Liam OliverOctober 23, 2015My favorite. Best on a Monday night. Best drink menu and great atmosphere. Food is stellar. Try the punches.
- Rachel KAugust 25, 2014On Sundays, only downstairs is open, but with live Irish music and many cocktail options, including punch bowls and Irish coffee.
- carla elaineJune 15, 2013I love this place! Definitely go to the parlor space upstairs and get a seat at the bar next to the piano. Drink punch out of tea cups & absinthe to your heart's content.
- Lori LuoAugust 10, 2014Opt to sit in the upstairs Parlor for a chance to try a drink from their extensive cocktail menu and order several bites, such as the Fries or Chicken Pot Pie, as well.
- TenantKing.comJuly 25, 2014The bartenders at the Dead Rabbit know what they're doing when it comes to drinks and mixing cocktails. There's something here for everyone between their fruity cocktails and fine selection of whisky.
- Ramin BeheshtiNovember 25, 2016I'm sure it's great based on reputation but the people who work here think they have become world beaters. Which is sad as the cosines is what probably made this place so incredible in the first place
- Go upstairs. The cocktails are world-class and the menu is a piece of art. Laid-back pub feel makes it accessible.
- 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
- Nef NefJune 13, 2018Everything great! Nice menu, great cocktails, fast service, but they keep u the credit card until you leave which is uncomfortable and maybe rather unusual?
- I highly recommend this place. Increadible cask ale. My favorite cocktail is the Old Mule Skinner.
- Katherine M.April 18, 2015"Upstairs, the Parlour showcases the team’s extraordinary application to the detail of drinks, a menu oozing creativity, backed-up with jaw-dropping historical know-how." Read more
- Eric CAugust 13, 2014Upstairs is the #1 bar in the country and now I know why. They use the highest quality ingredients and have a book full of cocktails. Lord of the Ward was delicious.
- 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.
