About  The Dead Rabbit:

"The Dead Rabbit is an award-winning bar, started by Sean Muldoon and Jack McGarry in 2013, dedicated to celebrating the finest traditions of Irish hospitality and bringing the Irish pub into the 21st century. We’re famous for our food, drinks, service and surroundings (our bar really is beautiful) – but more importantly, for our warm welcome. We want every single guest to have a great time, every time.

We’ve never really bought in to the whole mystique of making fantastic drinks, or anything else for that matter. Just ask us and we’ll tell you how we do it. That doesn’t mean what we do is easy. It isn’t. We set insanely high standards for ourselves in all things: in our menus, in our staff training and yes, in our drinks – whether it’s creating an outstanding original cocktail to serving the best pint of Guinness this side of Dublin. "

The second Dead Rabbit is in the process of coming next Summer, and a New Orleans location (!!!) after that! And be sure to follow The Dead Rabbit on Facebook for more great cocktail recipes AND some amazing Irish history and tradition lessons too!
