This Irish bar at the lower edge of Manhattan has more than well-crafted cocktails, the right music and a good vibe

It took six years for the bar to open, it’s been around for nearly four, and since then Dead Rabbit has picked up a slew of other awards, including at Tales of the Cocktail where they took home World’s Best Cocktail Menu, Best American Cocktail Bar and International Bartender of the Year award (given to McGarry).

Key Takeaways:

• People may know about the accolades, and be drawn in by the hype, but they’re staying for the fun.
• The Dead Rabbit feels like a bar that gives you a hug; it’s cozy, you feel comfortable there.
• Adding to that formula is undoubtedly the location, which pairs so well with the theme of the bar and the graphic novel-style menu.

“Awards are casually littered on the shelves behind the bartenders who shake and stir to a classic rock soundtrack.”
