- Village VoiceSeptember 15, 2014Come Sunday morning, you have a choice: You could go find a delicate brunch, supplemented by bottomless mimosas, or you could knife into a slab of beef and use it to soak up your breakfast Guinness. Read moreUpvoted 1 week ago
- Romain D.August 19, 2017If you like the Holy Smoke and the Hunky Dory, ask for the Wonder Last (most similar) or the Pirate Queen, which aren't on the menu! The cage fighter (with mezcal) is pretty good too! ;-)
- Kevin WongJuly 5, 2017Hands down new favorite place to order cocktails. This has changed everything for me. The sky is a little less blue, the grass a little more pale and a subtle feeling of nothingness now. I am ruined.
- Noah WeissJanuary 19, 2014Worth the hike downtown for some of the best cocktails in NYC. Get overwhelmed by a dozen pages of great sounding drinks. Ask for a bartender'a choice instead. Have 3.
- Time Out New YorkAugust 5, 20142014’s Best New Cocktail Bar, The Dead Rabbit hearkens back to the saloons of New York’s Industrial Age. First floor for pints & whiskey, cocktails upstairs. Try the Byrrh Wine Daisy. Read more
- Stephanie DeDeckerDecember 23, 2017Awesome ambiance and bartenders. Their cocktail menu is a comic book with what seems like over 30 cocktails to choose from! Worth all the hype, drinks were amazing and only $16 each
- Bohdan HnatkovskyyMarch 8, 2019The best bar in the world two years in a row. And that explains everything 🍸 Make sure to buy a comics styled menu as a souvenir. You’ll know why😉
- Daria WongMarch 14, 2013Head upstairs to The Parlor for the mixology. Bartenders are super attentive. Hot drink? Archbishop. Absinthe? Julep à la Thomas. M-F 5-7pm $1 oysters and absinthe cocktails for L'Heure Verte.
- Martin OngSeptember 5, 2016Be sure to go upstairs. Although there's usually a wait, it's usually not as long as what you're told. You can wait downstairs and bring your drink up when there's space.
- Brea SimpsonMay 19, 2021Do you want a cozy pub with delicious food? Get the shepherds pie, the chicken pot pie, and any of their cocktails.
- Maryam AlyJune 30, 2017Everything is great. The scotch egg, the Sunday roast, all the cocktails, especially the whiskey based ones. I don't think you can wrong at this place.
- Ross WSJanuary 10, 2018Relaxed pub-like atmosphere, whilst the quality drinks makes for an unforgettable experience. Try Cheshire Cat (tequila, rhum agricole, blanc vermouth and an array of fruits) or the Irish Whiskey menu
- Jen RiosJanuary 5, 2017Craft cocktail menu is on point. I have yet to try a dish other than oysters which were grade A++ and I'm super snotty when it comes to my oysters (I admit it). Gets packed so plan to wait on wknds.
- Umair ZiaAugust 7, 2015Might be the most pleasant/amazing cocktail bar I've gone to in NYC. So much personality & effort put into the littlest details like menu material, signs, etc. In FiDi=no crowds. Perfect date spot.
- Julie SosciaAugust 1, 2018Consistently voted one of the best bars in the world--as a souvenir, make sure to purchase one their latest menus--it is produced monthly and comes in the form of a collectible comic book.
- Morgan McKeeJanuary 21, 2017If you want to get in easy, come for lunch. The food is very good pub fare and you can enjoy the signature cocktails. The 3-floor pub setting is charming and you see why this place earns top honors.
- Joanne CroninNovember 1, 2014Superbly crafted cocktails, made by masters of their trade. Delicious food, live piano music and a luxurious setting make this a top notch bar. Ooh, and I love the tiles in the bathroom too!
- Lobster deviled eggs and truffle fries were perfect compliments to their unique cocktails. Long waits for the 2nd floor but it's worth it since you can grab a drink downstairs.
- Honghui YuNovember 29, 2015Cocktails and punch (served in adorable tea cups) are sipped here in an intimate parlor room. Order some scotch eggs and truffle chips if you've got the munchies.
- Abner AcevesNovember 23, 2014Such a great place. One of the best bars in NYC! If you can make it up to 2nd floor please do. The cocktail menu is a thick book and I recommend trying every single cocktail. IRISH COFFE, FTW.
- Meaghan HApril 18, 2017This place is a real gem. Makes you feel transported back many decades to a classier time. The drinks are amazing, and my favorite part is the storybook menu. Definitely make sure to read it through.
- Jeremy GurrAugust 19, 2017Great (amazing) food, really friendly bar staff and the list of compliments goes on. Don't take my word for it, check it out for yourself. One caveat, we visited mid-day
- 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.Upvoted Aug 22
- amNewYorkSeptember 15, 2013Crowned “World’s Best New Cocktail Bar” at a recent major industry event, this joint pours 72 “historically accurate” cocktails (and gallons of communal punch) while the taproom has whiskey and brews.
- Serious EatsMarch 12, 2013Thoughtfully-crafted period cocktails upstairs, and well-poured pints at a belly-up kind of bar on the ground floor.
- Justin GianninotoSeptember 9, 2016Felt like I was in my local Irish pub. Fun, relaxed atmosphere with some unique live music (wooden flute). Tasty drinks and friendly bar!
- Best cocktails in New York City. If you sit downstairs there is a smart menu so try to sit upstairs get some good food and try some cocktails! PLUS it's downtown so it's close to every train!
- Cozy bar, great cocktails. Amazing irish whiskey selection and they have lunch m-f if you work in the area. My favorite bar in fidi.
- KatAugust 17, 2016Far and away the best spot to meet up for drinks when in the Financial District. If you've ever been curious about pre-Prohibition cocktails, this is the place to try them.
- Luke CardyDecember 27, 2015The bar itself was really cool (sawdust on the floor), the bar tender was really nice and the food tasted great! I recommend the deviled eggs and the pork belly sliders!
- Michal KlofacOctober 2, 2019Came on a slower night so I had full attention of the bartenders, who were amazing. Drinks are really creative, I'll definitely come back next time I'm on NYC
- Paul MoriniDecember 15, 2015Tough place to get in. But worth the hassle. The stirred cocktails are based on old fashions and are delicious. I had the chicken pot pie, wonderful and my guest had the shepherds pie also super.
- 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.
- The Corcoran GroupOctober 11, 2013One of the best bars in the Financial District (which is seriously lacking in them). If you want an expertly-crafted cocktail, head upstairs to the Parlor. For a beer, stay at main level Taproom.
- Mary KMarch 18, 2015Fantastic cocktail menu! The taproom on the first floor is a great place to grab an after work drink. Order the Nut Job. The parlor upstairs is a good place to take a date. Order the Precision Pilot.
- Courtney KleinFebruary 23, 2018Amazing drinks; if possible, try to get into one of the upstairs dining rooms. The staff are truly amazing, know their stuff, and very detail oriented. Even the trainees know everything about the menu
- Julie SosciaJuly 16, 2018Consistently voted one of the best bars in the world--as a souvenir, make sure to purchase one their latest menus--it is produced monthly and comes in the form of a collectable comic book.
- Get as fancy a cocktail as you want here...or just get a classic. You'll be warm and happy either way.
- Elliot ChanceJuly 5, 2021Really great food, drinks and cocktails. It’s got it all. The owner is super friendly.
- Alejandro HoyoJuly 12, 2016Try the second floor bar for a more engaging speakeasy experience or the third for bigger groups. They have a cocktail with whiskey and papaya that'll rock your world.

- Cloe BushnellFebruary 21, 2015It's worth the trek & wait to sit upstairs. Fun book menu with amazing drinks. Tons of character and unique details. Perfect for dates.
- The New YorkerSeptember 23, 2013"Suspendered barkeeps ladle grog from festive punch bowls into proper teacups—perhaps the Punch à la Taylor, with whiskey, clementine sherbet, and tamarind nectar." Read more
- 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!Upvoted Aug 22
- Been a regular here since they opened, and this place is absolutely the best. Every cocktail is superb, they change the menu seasonally, and the bar bites are spot on. A must-visit when in FiDi.
- Leanne ZApril 2, 2016Hangout downstairs until you get one upstairs (Get the house beer) and try anything and everything upstairs. Ask questions and they're nice if you don't like what you order. Cool cups ☺️.
- Jonathan BrandonNovember 12, 2015Great drinks and atmosphere. Mixed drinks will cost about $15 each. Upstairs is a private bar with lots of places to sit. So many drinks to pick from... Waitress was very helpful in ordering...
