Tobias OtteNovember 12, 2014Outstanding cocktails. For every taste. Don't bother to come for dinner. The food is good but you should focus on mixology.
Roger BloemNovember 22, 2014Best cocktailbar in New York. Get a seat upstairs and enjoy the awesome menu.
Red & BrownMay 12, 2015You can't make a wrong cocktail choice. Go early or get a reservation for the upstairs parlor to avoid the crowds.
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
- Gabriel HayesFebruary 28, 2015Amazing whiskey cocktails. Loved the Hot Whiskey Punch, the Gold Standard and the Battle Annie.
Yami AlonsoApril 6, 2017Must try the cocktail list. Lobster deviled eggs are a must for apps. Ambiance is better upstairs at a table
Anne Yvonne DemeyAugust 12, 2014The pate was very good but not the best I've had. I feel the cocktail menu is too large. Overall I enjoyed it and would go back.- 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.)
CacharrónDecember 8, 2014Great cocktail spot. Lots of drinks. Short list of gins tho. Missing some larger and better quality glass maybe.
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.
KopernikusJanuary 10, 2015Second best cocktail barbij th world at top50bars, and deserved!!!! The best cocktails in a very beautiful bar!
OlinJuly 28, 2018Pub with slightly more upscale drinks. Interesting space upstairs. Loved the tea treats

dsinskyJune 15, 2014Awesome spot. Gangs of New York meets trendy cocktail bar. Overwhelming (but great) menu.
david cardFebruary 4, 2014Whiskey smash, and curry sauce on everything (chips, fish, fried zucchini, etc.) The eggnog is nice, too.
Check out the second floor! The cocktails are amazing and the childhood nemesis has a nice kick to it.
Courtney SMay 1, 2013Upstairs was calm during lunchtime and our waitress, Gemma, was awesome. HUGE drink list but beer an wine list might have been a little lacking.
Bruce HomerNovember 30, 2018Great whiskey & beer bar downstairs, and craft cocktail lounge upstairs.
Kevin GajadharNovember 30, 2015The truffle fries are amazing here and the wide selection of whiskies is enough to make anyone happy.
Garrett GroszkoJuly 27, 2015If you like scotch... Take the time a learn about Irish whiskey and enjoy a flight or 4.
Chris SiskSeptember 8, 2013Try one of everything on draft, so good. Pork belly and steak on toast if you're feeling hungry!
