Award-winning Irish pub and cocktail lounge in FiDi with private rooms across three floors
Description
The Dead Rabbit is a multi-award-winning Irish pub and cocktail lounge at 30 Water Street in Manhattan's Financial District, twice named the World's Best Bar at the Tales of the Cocktail Spirited Awards. Named after a notorious NYC-based Irish gang from the mid-1800s, the venue spans three floors, each with its own character, menu, and aesthetic: a lively ground-floor Taproom, a sophisticated second-floor Parlor, and a top floor dedicated exclusively to private gatherings. Small groups can reserve semi-private snugs in the Taproom, mid-sized parties can book the fully private Green Room or Occasional Room on the top floor, and larger gatherings can take over an entire floor or the whole building. Dedicated event managers assist with customizing all aspects of a gathering, and drink and dining packages are fully customizable. Offerings include award-winning craft cocktails, a vast Irish whiskey selection, a globally renowned Irish Coffee, and over 250,000 pints of Guinness poured annually. The food menu features elevated Irish pub fare like Guinness braised rib sliders and beer-battered fried chicken. Live music runs regularly, including a traditional Sunday Seisiún.
Planning an Event Here
The Dead Rabbit hosts private events across three floors, with spaces ranging from semi-private Taproom snugs for around 20 guests to a full venue buyout for up to 250.
