About us

The Dead Rabbit was born in 2013 after Jack McGarry, the bar’s sole Managing Partner, had successfully co-founded the world’s best bar in his native land, Belfast, Ireland. He had an itch to open in the United States but in an entirely different manner. Irish heritage needed to be represented in America in a new and genuine way, and he and the team were determined to do it.

Inspired by the history of The Dead Rabbit gang, the bar is fiercely Irish with an American accent. In a five-story, 19th-century townhouse, The Dead Rabbit offers three distinctly different dining and drinking experiences: The Taproom, The Parlor, and the Occasional Room. It’s a concept that works, and we remain the most awarded pub in the world.

In the Taproom, craic reigns supreme. In the Parlor, cocktails are king, and in The Occasional Room, tavern traditions take center stage. The Dead Rabbit isn’t just the best of both worlds, it’s the best of all worlds.
