Come 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 more

If 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 Wong

Hands 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 Weiss

Worth 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.

2014’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 DeDecker

Awesome 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

Eater

The one surefire dish is the shepherd’s pie , a pile of curried lamb that’s been charred into chewy little bits and tucked into a crock pot topped with a hearty schmear of mashed potatoes . Read more

Bohdan Hnatkovskyy

The 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 Wong

Head 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 Ong

Be 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 Simpson

Do you want a cozy pub with delicious food? Get the shepherds pie , the chicken pot pie , and any of their cocktails .

Maryam Aly

Everything 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 WS

Relaxed 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 Rios

Craft 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 Zia

Might 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 .

Gothamist

Whether you just want a pint from the vibrant tap room, or some cocktail nirvana from the dense, graphic novel-style menu found in the second floor parlor, the Dead Rabbit can cater to your tastes. Read more

Julie Soscia

Consistently 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 McKee

If 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 Cronin

Superbly 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!

David Zhang

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 Yu

Cocktails 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 Aceves

Such 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 H

This 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 Gurr

Great (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

Sam Brown

The taproom is a hidden gem in this part of town , nice and quiet on a weekend despite the bustle nearby. Spot the old irish photos on the roof, inc. one of the Duke of York (best Guinness in Belfast)! Read more

Mariana Dreper

This 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.

Justin Gianninoto

Felt like I was in my local Irish pub . Fun, relaxed atmosphere with some unique live music (wooden flute). Tasty drinks and friendly bar !

amNewYork

Crowned “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 Eats

Thoughtfully-crafted period cocktails upstairs , and well-poured pints at a belly-up kind of bar on the ground floor.

Natasha Morini

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 !

Kat

Far 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.

Ranu Rajkarnikar

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.

Luke Cardy

The 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 Klofac

Came 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 Morini

Tough 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 Frew

The 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.

Mary K

Fantastic 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.

The Corcoran Group

One 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.

Courtney Klein

Amazing 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

Elliot Chance

Really great food, drinks and cocktails . It’s got it all. The owner is super friendly .

Julie Soscia

Consistently 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 .

Tarik Hart

Get as fancy a cocktail as you want here...or just get a classic. You'll be warm and happy either way.

Alejandro Hoyo

Try 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 Bushnell

It's worth the trek & wait to sit upstairs . Fun book menu with amazing drinks. Tons of character and unique details. Perfect for dates.

Dylan Gornto

Best 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!

Alicia Alikhani

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.

The New Yorker

"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

Leanne Z

Hangout 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 Brandon

Great 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...
