    I stopped in on Christmas Eve after a day of walking around on Ellis island in the cold. I was warmly greeted by the hostess checking vaccine cards which made me feel a lot safer than other places. I took a seat at the bar and took in all the decor and the huge selection of Irish whiskeys on the wall. My little Irish heart was happy. The bartender Matt was so attentive to me and the other customers and had a really great attitude and made you feel at home. I had a Irish Whiskey Highball and it was absolutely delicious and refreshing. I ordered the chicken pot pie and it was also delicious and filling on a cold day and topped it off with an Irish coffee that was perfect. The atmosphere and how welcoming the staff and other patrons are was lovely and I’ll definitely come back again when I’m in town. I was visiting from Baltimore.

    Great atmosphere & place to take visitors. We sat in the Parlor level. I brought my parents and we are from the UK so always skeptical of pubs in America! Dead Rabbit does it right. Started with the sausage roll which was great, extensive cocktails / drinks list and the server was really friendly. For our mains - I had the broccoli & quinoa bowl (and finished off my moms fish & chips which was amazing), and my dad had the burger which he really enjoyed. Irish coffee tiramisu was the perfect dessert to finish. Will definitely come back!

    The best of best bars I have ever been to. I believe new york city has altogether different vibe. Heard a lot about dead rabbit, and finally we reserved our table in way advance. Got seated in their booth style seating which was pretty rustic. Started with oysters and ‘psycho killer’ Which was really really good. Then we moved to second floor which has more dimly lit environment with good music. Got my second drink: Mean fiddler which was pretty pretty mean ( def gonna get you tipsy) For food: fries, fried chicken, oysters everything was real good. Drinks: psycho killer, mean fiddler, house okd fashioned all three are good. Its a must try!

    Such an awesome place. Okay so it isn’t truly an “old” bar, I think it was built/renovated in 2013, and I think they are trying to make it seems a lot older than it is. But it’s amazing anyways. Cocktails are great, beer is great, and food was very good (even my vegetarian wife thought it was awesome). Would definitely recommend and come back too.

    Stopped for cocktails only and oh boy not disappointed. Fantastic atmosphere for the holidays. Our drink professional Sean could not have been more welcoming and helpful. Every one loved their drinks. The Irish coffee was just great.

    I wanted to visit this iconic whiskey place since I know whiskey distilled by the Dublin Liberties and one of their whiskeys is named after the Dead Rabbit. The whiskey collection they have was impressive and I enjoyed the atmosphere while I was there. The bar tending personnel was very friendly and accommodating. I was offered little tasters to appreciate the whiskeys that were recommended to me. The food also was excellent. I tasted some rare whiskeys, but want to try some more. I will definitely come back at my earliest opportunity.

    Best cocktail menu in the city! The switch it out seasonally but there always at least 3 drinks on it that I absolutely adore. It’s a big place, 2 floors with table service which is really nice. People there are extremely friendly and staff are always willing to help you out and give you a rec if you don’t know what to order.

    A really recommended bar, especially for Whiskey lovers! Their old fashioned is probably the best Old fashioned I have in NYC, strong Bourbon flavor but still smooth, and also comes with a crazy portion. Their signature Irish coffee is also really good, especially for hot drink lovers. Everything related to Whiskey is definitely good here, such as Whiskey sour, penicillin, Manhattan, Old pal. Definitely a recommended bar here!

    The Dead Rabbit is probably the best and most famous Irish pub in NYC. The whiskey flows freely, as does the Guinness draft and innovative cocktail for all tastes. I went there twice during my short stay in the city, and both times the services was fast, the music was fantastic, and the overall vibe was relaxed and friendly. You can't miss the Irish coffee! I'll keep coming back when I'm in town.

    Beautiful bar. Beautiful people. All in a cozy place with smooth atmosphere. The food is excellent and the drinks are just as tasty. You'll love everything about this bar, and will want to come back again and again. Enjoy your time with wonderful company, beautiful women and great guys.

    The Dead Rabbit 🐇 Casual bar downstairs with lots of people and loud music in a small space. Second floor is a speakeasy style quieter cocktail bar called the Parlor. Delicious drinks for around 20 to 30 dollars. Server was very friendly and attentive. Looked like a popular date spot. Nice atmosphere and service in both bars. Lots of drink options. Not wheelchair accessible. Didn't see any rabbits but lots of rats outside by the entrance.

    The Dead Rabbit staff and hospitality are top-notch; the fish and chips, scotch egg, and Irish stew were delicious and kept the masses well fed as the drinks continuously flowed. This Irish pub was the perfect spot in New York to celebrate the Feast of Saint Patrick. The folk musicians and patrons kept the atmosphere jovial and lively. I was pleasantly surprised to discover Guinness Zero was available to include those who love to celebrate, but do not imbibe. Many Thanks and Cheers to The Dead Rabbit!

    Great bar, fantastic service. The atmosphere is great. Definitely Irish bar but clean and a little fancy. The food options are so tasty. The apps were tiny but the entrees were big. The drinks are expensive but they are iconic. I’ve been here for their Christmas specials and that is otherworldly. Definitely a must visit to experience/ the salted caramel hot chocolate is u real and extremely rich. But today I had the frozen Irish coffee while it was extremely small… it was also very good. The scotch egg was good but pricey. The fish and chips were great as well as the corned beef sandwich. Service was fantastic. Love this place and will always be back for more

    The Dead Rabbit in New York is a must-visit for anyone who loves craft cocktails and Irish pub fare. The drinks are outstanding, with a vast selection of creative and unique concoctions that are expertly crafted. The food is equally impressive, with traditional Irish dishes that have been elevated to new heights. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with a charming old-world aesthetic that transports you back in time. The service is top-notch, with knowledgeable and friendly staff who are happy to make recommendations. The only downside is the long wait time, but it's worth it for the exceptional experience. Overall, The Dead Rabbit is one of the best bars in the city and should not be missed.

    My family and I's experience here was amazing! They let us sit early from our reservation and were very accommodating the whole night. Our waiter, Will, was absolutely one of the best waiters I've had in NYC. He was very attentive, helpful, and great at recommendations of drinks and food. We never had to worry about waiting for more drinks, water, or food. Their drinks were hands down the best I've had in NYC, not too expensive, very flavorful and not too strong or weak - just perfect. All of their food was delicious. I absolutely recommend their fries (amazing sauces) as an appetizer, and the scotch eggs were very good as well. For main dishes, we had the sea bass, fried chicken, chicken pot pie, and fisherman's pie, and they were all really good. I definitely recommend coming here at least once, especially if you're on vacation!

    Staff was great, friendly and easy to laugh with. Ordered the scotch egg with fish and chips. Loved it! The cocktails were perfect and the Irish coffee to top it all off was smooth and creamy. If I didn't live half way across the U.S I'd visit every week.

    Came with my girlfriend and her parents whilst on a holiday from England. Food was amazing as was the service downstairs. Best Guinness I've had in NY for sure. The highlight however came from the upstairs bar. The cocktails were incredible, some of the best I've ever had. I've been a bartender for nearly 10 years so this place has been on my list for a while. Talked shop with the bartender Shane for a little while and then him and the other bartender (I am so terribly sorry if you're reading thus but I cannot remember your name! Your tattoos were amazing though) asked if I wanted to come up and make a daiquiri. Being able to say to all my hospitality friends back home that I made a drink at The Dead Rabbit will be a highlight for the rest of my life. They were easily two of the best people I've met in my short time in NY. I've done a fair few of the touristy things to do around here and that absolutely made my week. This place deserves every award its received and more! If the two bartenders ever find themselves in Manchester they'll always have a seat at my bar.

    Come for the Sunday Roast, stay for the atmosphere! We've been here a few times now for the Sunday Roast, but there are plenty of other items on the menu. The wine selection is great, though you'll be wanting to try a few of the cocktails or the Irish Coffee too. The servers are always very friendly and helpful. You'll love the building itself, and the decor around the Holidays makes the place feel much more homely. Don't hesitate to drop by even without a reservation, there's seating at the bars and counters too.

    Dead Rabbit Bar in the Financial District is your typical afterwork spot. It's not trying to be fancy, just a place to grab some drinks and unwind with colleagues. The vibe is okay—nothing too special. Dim lights, okay atmosphere, you know the vibe . It can get a bit noisy, so don't expect intimate conversations. Drinks-wise, they're decent. You'll find your classics and some creative mixes, but nothing mind-blowing. It's just what you'd expect from a standard bar. Now, onto the food. Meh. It's your basic bar grub—burgers, wings, fries—but nothing to write home about. It lacks flavor and finesse, which was disappointing.

    Beautiful and iconic place in NYC. Cocktails are tasty. Food is definitely delicious with the alcohol you ordered. With food and ur empty stomach, I would say $60_100 person. If you got food before getting here, probably below or around $50 for each. Reservations will be preferred, but they allow walkin for the bar and the seats are comfortable.

    This is without a doubt one of the best bars in NYC and definitely the best one in Fidi. They have great food, a great atmosphere with the two different bars on different floors (downstairs is more of the spit and sawdust pub vibe and upstairs is more cocktails and food) but the thing that stands out is the drinks. Everything from the staples like the Guinness and Irish Coffee (best In NYC) to the really creative cocktails are excellent. Not to be missed

    Old time Irish pub in a building built in 1828, and you feel the history. Short walk from another legendary area, Stone Street. Cocktails were stiff just as you’d expect, and delicious. Also, the popcorn was better than any movie theater’s that I’ve had in recent memory and the Potato Leek Soup was fantastic!

    Fantastic Experience! Came into Town to Visit my sister with my parents and took them to the Parlour on the 2nd Floor. The level of service was impeccable, the food was amazing and the Cocktails were unreal. Lived up to the Hype. Highly Recommend! P.S.- For the food, I highly recommend the lamb chop pops. I could have eaten 8 of those in one sitting.

    A two story restaurant and bar. The first floor is an Irish bar with a large menu and plenty of drink options. It's the upstairs cocktail bar that makes this place for me. A changing menu of amazing cocktails. The staff are very helpful at finding the right drink for you. Definitely have the Irish coffee before you go

    This bar is covered in early Irish NYC history. The bartender had a impressive memory as she quickly served drinks while remembering every patrons name. It's a tight squeeze for guests and the rooms fill up fast. I loved the corned beef sliders with in-house made coleslaw! The mashed potatoes was a taste of heaven, perfectly whipped with lots of chives and butter.

    Wow! The Dead Rabbit 100% lives up to all the hype. Awesome ambience by the bar, exceptional service provided by Annie. I started with Flight Attendant cocktail and yummy truffle fries (chips); the curry Mayo was delish! Next, had the chicken pot pie which came with gravy and nicely whipped potatoes. Very savory meal. Finished off with 2 Irish coffees … because they really are “THAT” good! Can’t wait to go back. Make sure you set up a reservation, we lucked out and got 2 seats at the bar - but not everyone who came after us was as lucky.

    The Irish coffee was good. Too good, very easy to drink. The Shepard pie was pretty good. The bar itself was very full, shoulder to shoulder. Expect to get bumped into by customer or servers alike. Very fun vibe tho.

    Awesome place. Tried three cocktails and all of them tasted good and unique. Started in the bar downstairs where we got some food as well. Shepherd’s pie was great. It’s pretty loud downstairs but cool decor and kind of cozy. Then we moved to the third floor (put yourself in the queue for the third floor when you arrive) where continued our cocktail journey. The Irish coffee was as good as other reviews say. The gin cocktails didn’t disappoint either. The upper floor has the same menu as downstairs but with additional 10 cocktails.

    Lovely “Irish” Bar :D lol. I was skeptical from outside but once you’re in, it is cozy. The waitress and bus boy were very accommodating and very nice though we were annoying as we got there around 10pm and we were very hungry and rushing to get some food. We got a table even it was jammed packed and food was reasonably fast as well. Food were also great ! Will def go back here after our spa day 🧖‍♀️

    Hands down the best cocktail bar in NYC. It has a great ambiance and amazing service. The waitress was very patient, jolly and courteous, explained all doubts that we had regarding the cocktail ingredients. I loved the mescal and old fashioned cocktails. It is a must visit in NYC. Try seeing if you get a reservation because the place can get extremely crowded. It has decent food options as well.

    Atmosphere should get 6. This isn't any old Irish pub and it's not the typical 'plastic paddy' bar you see around the world either. This is a venture owned and operated by Irish creative geniuses who want to use it as a platform for all that is great about the island of Ireland. Of all the Irish bars in Manhattan, this is the one that both feels like a little piece of Ireland AND you'll actually learn something about the islands people, geography and culture. Guinness is decent too. Which is probably the most important bit! Highly recommended.

    This is an awesome pub with fantastic food and drinks and a great atmosphere. Gets really crowded even during the day (but that’s part of what makes it cool). There’s an upstairs sit-down cocktail lounge that’s difficult to get seating to. Make reservations.

    Been wanting to visit Dead Rabbit and we finally did. Amazing cocktail bar, with live music and a great vibe. Even saw a few familiar faces from our home town working there. Tucked in just off the water and down from the Brooklyn Bridge. Dead Rabbit is a must in the financial district in NYC.

    We had such an awesome time visiting The Dead Rabbit! The staff is wonderful from the second you walk in! Loved the holiday decor, and cocktail menu! We had Irish coffees, Gingerbread Man, and Doctors orders ! All of which were delicious! This will definitely be a place we return to on our NYC trips!

    I've been here before during the nighttime to grab a drink, but I was able to finally come back with a friend to try their brunch! I'll be honest, I've never had an irish coffee, but as a coffee lover this hit the spot. My friend ordered a regular Irish coffee which was nice and balanced, and warmed you up on the inside. I tried the Alexander Irish coffee, which was sweeter and chilled, and enjoyed it as well! They have a selection of Irish coffees, so definitely try it out if you come by. I also got the chicken pot pie which had the flakiest crust! It was a solid entree, with a good amount of filling and a good gravy. The mashed potatoes were also nice and buttery. I couldn't finish it sadly, the whole thing was huge honestly. I'm definitely planning to come back during the holidays and try out their drink menu! The ambiance was so cute and cozy, and it sounds like there's more to forward to!

  • 5/5 Allina L. 3 years ago on Google
    They have a very extensive menu, all variations of rum, pineapple, coconut, etc. Therefore, I can't even remember my drink, even though I took a picture of it. Suffice to say, it was delicious and strong. We each had one cocktail and shared a third, and it was enough to get us all nice happy for a good portion of the evening. It's a quintessential NY experience, if you're into that kind of thing.

    This place was recommended by a bartender friend of mine in Charlotte and it absolutely lived up to every expectation! The atmosphere was incredible as were the drinks. We absolutely loved the use of the graphic novel as the menu and thanks to Jack our waiter we got to read chapter 1 too. I absolutely recommend this place and can't wait to go back to try the food too next time.

    Wonderful wonderful place - loved the cocktails, loved the ambience, loved the food! I had ordered doctors orders - beautifully prepared bourborn! Should try it We had also ordered pork mini burgers, which were also delicious - not too much cheese, neither too less Peculiar thing about this place is the sand on floor - at first I thought it was dust or just wearing out of wood - but then the ‘aha’ moment

    Definitely lives up to the honor of being one of the world’s best bars. I would regularly visit (pre-pandemic) even though I live in NJ, it was well worth it. The food is delicious and tasty as well. The bartenders are friendly and are experts as it relates to their craft. Looking forward to visiting again once it opens up, in the meantime I’ll be doing the takeout because it is actually THAT good.

    What can I say that hasn't already been said. If you live here; This place can be your local quite easily. The bartenders and servers are the industry's highest professionals. Show up regularly, with some common curtesy and bar patron etiquette, you will be surprised how fast you can be accepted by the staff. They have made every experience I have had at The Rabbit both memorable and delectable. I sing the praises of the food menu and drink program everywhere I go. This is the bar I use to measure all other establishments by. I am very proud to call this my fave bar in the world. It stands in a class by itself Check it out. The hype actually pales in comparison to the execution. Thanks Friends!!!! I cant wait to rage The Parlor again.

    Meilleur Irish coffee c'est certain. Cool pub, nice atmosphere, a great place to have a drink in the financial district.

    Went in on a Wednesday around 5pm! We were sat immediately at the bar top. Drinks are around 15-18ish dollars. The service was fast and my drink was really good! The place is cozy and has really cool decor. I can see this place getting filled up quick so I would recommend making a reservation or just be mindful of that for peak times!

    Always wanted to go here. I finally did and was not disappointed. Service, food, drinks, atmosphere all wonderful. I had a great time. Drinks are a little pricey but they were really good. You gotta have their Irish Coffee!

    Definitely a must-visit for fantastic cocktails and delicious food! Been dying to try out this place for a while and they definitely didn't disappoint. Their Irish breakfast was amazing and they pour a great pint! The Spell Spoke cocktail was so good too! Already can't wait to come back!

    Be looking forward to visiting The Dead Rabbit. Thoroughly enjoyed the food, drinks and staff. Our group of 5 sat at the bar and were taken care of by Cory who was attentive, informative about the cocktails and very efficient. I had (as did two others) the Irish breakfast which was delicious. Every thing was amazing. I also was very much looking for a proper pint of Guinness and was not disappointed. I would highly recommend The Dead Rabbit and recommend you to bring friends to enjoy the experience with

    Definitely lives up to the name Best Bar in the World. Absolutely love the Irish Coffee with the Nitrogen Whipped Cream Crema. Furthermore, the Bankers Drink is to die for. Absolutely amazing, no words can describe it. It's a Secret Menu item so you'll need to know the ingredients to make it.

    It's after midnight and I have to try the voted the Best Bar in the World in 2016. The bar is very accessable by the door way and it’s next to the host. It's open and congenial. Host and the bartender have welcoming presence you feel relaxed. Its week day night and there are few available stools by the bar. They have a lot awards and I have to come here just to try their World Famous Irish Cream. Looks like coffee with froth on top. Once served smell it and sip it small and you'll get a smile in your face. This is a good way to end the night even if you don't have company!

    This place had the best drinks I've ever had. I first heard about them from a book whilst walking around Barnes and Nobel and just had to try them. Between my bf and I we tasted 6 different cocktails. Everyone was absolutely amazing. 10 out of 10. Must try!

    Dinner at The Dead Rabbit last night, somethings you need to know before you go: Make a reservation Be prepared to have the best service, tasty drink, and food. BEST TRUFFLE FRIES. Bangers were on point, it is my favorite dish and I am very particular on it. It did not disappoint. The ladies had the Fish and Chips, and the Chicken Pot pie, also exceeded my expectations as well. Be sure you tip the staff, they are attentive, hilarious and give excellent recommendations if you have any questions on the menu.

    Found this place as a traveller years ago, and it does not disappoint today. Drinks delicious. Staff exceptional: asked about differences between two whiskeys and was surprised with a four whiskey flight. Great Irish whiskey selection. Scotch egg and truffle chips were delicious.

  • 5/5 Santosh S. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best. NYC in general has plenty of good options for cocktails. If you can get into this place and had reservations then you are definitely going to enjoy the vibe, drinks and small portion meals. They are priced reasonably and very good with their mixology.

  • 5/5 Ryan W. 2 years ago on Google
    Unassuming bar right in the financial district. We were able to get seated on the 2nd floor Parlor and wow it was worth it. Ambience was fun yet intimate, food was surprisingly great (had the corned beef and shepherds pie), and the drinks were out of this world. Cocktails we had: My wife loved the Butter Me Up and the Fighting Irish, and I drank more Irish Coffee than I do normal coffee.

  • 5/5 Katrina C. 2 years ago on Google
    My boyfriend loves this place being from Northern Ireland. They have delicious drinks and delicious Irish food! Two stories with lots of seating and good ambiance. Great for a date.

  • 5/5 Anastasya V. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is legendary. We came here a few months back and they had awesome drinks and service. The place has a great feel to it. A few months later, we came back and the staff remembered us. Great drinks, good vibes and great decor. Definitely worth visiting if you are near the Financial District.

  • 5/5 Roy Hall (. 2 years ago on Google
    This is the benchmark for what I love to experience in a bar. The food is great so feel free to try anything on the menu, but the drinks are the real stars here. The staff knows what it takes to make "having a drink" feel more like taking an adventure. My advice is close your eyes, touch anywhere on the menu and whatever you pick you'll love. They'll make a delicious version of your favorite cocktail if you want to test them out, but don't hold back from finding your new favorite off their extensive list of craft cocktails. All the way down to hand carving the ice for high balls and making their own oat milk for the hot chocolate.

  • 5/5 Kelly C. 1 year ago on Google
    What a find!! So happy to have gone to the dead rabbit - esp upstairs parlor (need reservations). The vibes are totally different between main floor and upstairs. The parlor has the general menu, plus an additional list of drinks (specials 😍). Staff was very friendly, so welcoming and attentive - thank you for a wonderful experience! We will be back!!

  • 5/5 Allison T. 1 year ago on Google
    I adore this bar - in my humble opinion, they really understand the essence of hospitality and match it with talent and technique. I've been a server and bartender for 18 years, and been privileged to visit many of the "world's best" bars, beloved dives, and respected craft establishments and Dead Rabbit is always at the top of my personal favorite bars in the world list. They just do it right. You will not be met with condescension or apathy here. Your drink will not be unbalanced and your food will not be a subpar after thought. On our most recent visit, bartender Nick in the upstairs lounge took excellent care of us. He made perfect drinks, engaging conversation, and wonderful recommendations for other great spots to visit in town. Thankful to him and all of the folks that make this place great!

  • 5/5 Ashar K. 1 year ago on Google
    My friend recommended and we all went there for drinks. Jack recommended and made some excellent drinks. Cozy place, lovely decors and pictures everywhere. We got there around 3 on Saturday and it started to get crowded around 4. Will definitely be back.

  • 5/5 Jeana S. 1 year ago on Google
    The Dead Rabbit is an upscale Irish pub in lower Manhattan that honestly lives up to the hype. We visited on a Saturday without a reservation and were seated immediately in the Parlour. The parlour room is their upstairs bar that has a timeless feel to it with lighting almost primarily coming from small gas lamps on the tables, due to this it is a bit dark. We were greeted by our server and offered a small welcome drink that I am desperately trying to figure out the recipe for. The drinks here are a bit on the pricier side, however, the full size welcome drink was affordable at $19. They have a signature drink menu as well with a side for Irish spirits and another for spirits around the world. For our appetizer, we tried the sausage roll which was spiced well with a fantastic buttery and flaky pastry. I had the fish and chips entree while my partner had the bangers and mash. My entree was massive with large fish fillets and fries. My partners was a lot more flavorful though as the sausage was delicious. They put a heavy emphasis on supporting Irish craftsmen as well and it really shows. From the art on the walls to the soap in the bathroom, everything was made by Irish artisans. Overall, our visit was more than we could’ve hoped for and we would definitely visit again. PS. Please send me the recipe for that apple cider and brandy welcome drink

    Been wanting to come here for many years. Finally made it and it didn't disappoint. Bartenders were great and drinks were top notch. I didn't try any food but everyone around me was eating and looked great. Hopefully I can stop by again soon.

  • 5/5 Sean C. 9 months ago on Google
    There's a reason this place has a reputation. Unique, well balanced drinks with a cozy atmosphere. Bartenders are experienced and knowledgeable.

  • 5/5 Ritu Desai VA-DC-MD R. 10 months ago on Google
    What a talented bartender to a great ambiance!!! We were visiting our son and happen to stumble into this quaint bar. From outside it looks a bit quiet or low key place. Once you enter the energy is off the roof. Just watching an incredibly talented bar tender was fun!!

    This was my first stop in NYC because the drink menu looked great (whiskey fan) and it was close to our hotel. It was packed, but the host quickly found a spot for us. We were sitting at a ledge with high chairs, which I didn't really care for but everything else made up for that. We looked over the menus, waited a few minutes then flagged down a server named Jenae (not sure how she spells it), who was so kind and told us we order from the bartender in that spot, but she took our order any way. We got the Doctor's Orders and it was just what we needed after traveling. All of the cocktails we had were perfect; well crafted and strong. I was not expecting the food to be as good as it was, but it was great. We had the bread basket, mussels with fries, and the corned beef sandwich. The sandwich was my favorite thing. It has a great flavor, juicy and tender corned beef, buttery toasted bread, perfect amount of sauerkraut. Our server was very attentive, friendly, and made some great suggestions of things to do while in NYC. Also the live music was great.

    Had a couple great cocktails in a nice New York bar environment. The basket of fries were super hot and perfectly delicious. Good bartenders and even better vibe at The Dead Rabbit in Manhattan.

  • 5/5 Daniel A. 7 months ago on Google
    I had a wonderful experience here! Everything from the food to the cocktails was delightful. I strongly recommend trying to get a dinner reservation here. Our favourite options were the Elderflower Champagne and the Irish Coffee but you won't go wrong with anything on the menu

  • 4/5 David B. 7 months ago on Google
    Great bar amazing whiskey selection. I should have sat at the bar I couldn't get a drink to save my life. Most likely not the servers fault it did get very busy very fast. I was also overwhelmed by the family of 5 sitting next to me with kids on backless stools who clearly have never sat still in their lives. The food was delicious so I'm sure it's better than I thought but not that day.and when I was leaving ya the bar was quiet and empty damnit lol.

  • 4/5 Analia G. 7 months ago on Google
    Popular tavern in Downton Manhattan on Water street. Was here pre-fire, pre pandemic and now. It still has the same look with two long bars downstairs and a few tables. Nice, friendly servers. They only use on online menu. Good drinks, decent tavern food. There is also an upstairs that I’ve never been to. For lunch, we shared an ample Irish breakfast which hit the spot with American scotch served with one giant ice cube which we appreciated and a hot Irish coffee. Yum.

  • 5/5 David W. 7 months ago on Google
    Well worth a visit as it has lots of character! We missed this place last year as it was shut but we didn't want to miss it again. The bar shelves are jam-packed with Irish whiskys and just about any other whisky and bourbons. So you should find a drink you like there. Service was great and we sat at the bar. The customers that were in there all seemed friendly too and overall, it was a nice chilled out place. We also tried a few of the speciality cocktails, which we liked too! There's not many bars in NYC with sawdust on the floors and we liked this touch!

  • 4/5 Grace M. 5 months ago on Google
    This spot is incredibly popular (and world renowned) I had friends from overseas recommend I visit when I was in NYC. First I notice it's VERY BUSY. But the staff handle the crowds well, our food and drinks came out in a timely fashion and everything we had was delicious. A few small hiccups such as not receiving a spoon before stew came out. But nothing life shattering. And our server was overall very good at his job.

  • 5/5 Jessica P. 6 months ago on Google
    I think about this pub on a frequent basis. The atmosphere, service and drinks are pristine. Irish coffee is wild, also tried the Flying Boat AKA the best cocktail I've ever had in my entire life. Every city needs a carbon copy of this place.

  • 5/5 L B. 4 months ago on Google
    Welcoming atmosphere 😊 Fast waitstaff. SO happy we got to check this place out for the Jingle Jangle pop-up its Beautifully decorated for the Holiday Season and very crowded at 2pm on a Friday. We had delicious festive drinks Gingerman and Dr.s Orders splitting the Irish Cheese Plate. My husband loved his sliders, and I was nice enough to share my lamb chops that were Absolutely Amazing! I ordered the sausage roll and the lamb shepard's pie to go both were very delicious...we can't wait to come back here!
