The Dead Rabbit, 30/32 Water Street, New York, NY (2026)

Somewhat accidentally, we’ve had an eventful few weeks on social media. So hopefully, this is something we can all agree on - schtick.

When it comes to Guinness terminology, we’ve got domeage, tilts, Split the G (which people love to argue about), and this.

So, what is it? Schtick is the creamy white foam that clings to the inside of your glass as you drink, leaving distinct rings behind - a sign of a properly poured, properly enjoyed pint.

If your Guinness lacks schtick, it usually means the pint isn’t at its best, or the glass is greasy or not entirely clean.

But when you do have it? It’s delicious, creamy, and - frankly - quite beautiful. Like lace, says Gráinne - and a whole lot tastier than your nan’s curtains.

Our doors open at 10.30am today for the GAA All-Ireland Hurling Final, followed by that wee international soccer tournament, live on our screens from 3pm.

If you're making a day of it, remember - eating is never cheating, stay hydrated, and it's a marathon, not a sprint.

Go for the Irish Breakfast, the Sunday Roast, or this - our Dry Aged Burger with Irish cheddar, lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickles, and burger sauce.

See you bright and early - make a day of it.

Every time we mention our three-part Guinness pour, we get the same responses.

The Irish think we're stating the obvious - especially anyone who's spent time at Madden's. A fair few people tell us we're doing it wrong, and then there are the curious ones, who want to see the method behind the madness.

So, here it is - the somewhat scientific proof, demonstrated by none other than Jack McGarry.

07/17/2026

We’ve a lot to thank Brenda Fricker for.

The first Irish woman to win an acting Oscar, she appeared in more than 30 films and television productions across a career spanning 60 years.

Lots of us - and our parents - grew up with Brenda on our screens, from her role as Staff Nurse Maloney in Coronation Street to Megan Roach in Casualty. Then, in 1990, she made history by winning the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in My Left Foot, alongside Daniel Day-Lewis.

Of course, that golden statuette later ended up at the bottom of a hotel swimming pool in Connemara - a story well worth Googling.

Brenda went on to star in The Field, Home Alone 2, A Time to Kill and Veronica Guerin, before her final screen role in Tadhg O’Sullivan’s 2024 drama, The Swallow.

As well as being an exceptional actor, she loved animals, Guinness, poetry and playing snooker. She also spoke openly about abuse, miscarriage, loss and depression, helping others feel less alone in their own struggles.

Thank you for sharing your talent, Brenda. For making the island of Ireland proud, and for showing generations of fellow artists that we have a place on the global stage.

07/16/2026

Will we ever stop collecting art? Jack says no, never.

New to our walls, these beautiful, candid portraits of Geraldine Hughes, Ciaran Hinds, and Alex Higgins are the work of Cathal McNaughton, a Pulitzer Prize–winning Irish photographer and visual storyteller whose work is shaping how contemporary Ireland is seen and understood.

Over more than two decades, Cathal has worked across editorial, documentary, portrait, and commercial fields, producing images distinguished by clarity, restraint, and emotional intelligence. His portrait practice is marked by an unforced intimacy; a process built on time, trust and careful observation.

If you’d like to learn more about Cathal, his life and career are the subject of the documentary, I Dream In Photos, a portrait of the experiences that have shaped both his work and his perspective, available on YouTube.

And if you’d like to see his work in person, come to The Parlor, and we’ll gladly show you.

Sometimes, we leave The Dead Rabbit.

Madness, we know. But New York is home to some of the world's greatest bars - historic and iconic, divey and lively, elegant and elevated.

That's why, tucked inside our Parlor menu, you'll find our guide to some of our favorite places to eat and drink across the city. Every recommendation comes from the Parlor team, with illustrations by .studio.

Bookmark this for your next night out - or better yet, make a bar crawl of it.

07/14/2026

Nope, it’s not gifting season, and there’s no big holiday coming up - but don’t you always deserve a treat?

Our (self-proclaimed) iconic Dead Rabbit cap is back in stock online and in-store, alongside three t-shirts, the San Patricios jersey, and our signature scented candle. And yes, it really does smell like The Dead Rabbit. Thankfully, in the best possible way.

No, we didn’t show last night’s UFC fight - for reasons we hope are obvious.

And we’d like to extend our congratulations to Max Holloway, who, despite not having to do all that much, secured a TKO victory in just 69 seconds.

While a trilogy seems unlikely, we’d like to take this opportunity to confirm that we wouldn’t be showing that one either.

Or, indeed, any fight bearing the McGregor name.

Let’s hope this marks the end of a disappointing, disgraceful, and deeply diminished legacy. Don’t forget to close the door on your way out, Conor.

Melissa isn't just a Dead Rabbit legend - she's a New York legend. And when she tells you where to eat or drink, trust us - it's worth paying attention.

Here, she shares the best Martini in the city (a Vesper riff with saffron and green curry), her go-to lobster rolls, why her favorite pizza isn't a traditional New York slice, and where she and her husband Chris head for date-night burgers.

And her second favorite bartender to visit? Jack McGarry, whenever he's on a guest shift. Not because she misses him, but because she gets to spend the evening winding him up. After all, he spends most of the year terrorizing her….

Check our pinned comments for the full list, and stay tuned for more.

It's our TX birthday, and absolutely everyone's invited - including you.

A little over two years ago, we got the keys to 204 East Sixth Street, formerly home to the legendary B.D. Riley's. We knew we had big shoes to fill, and we hope we've done our forebears proud.

Bringing this space back to life - and filling it with people once again - has been a real honor. We couldn't have done it without our incredible team, our community, and every guest who's walked through our doors. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.

Now, enough of the sentimental stuff.

Join us from 12pm today for $10 Espresso Martinis, Frozen Irish Coffees, and Irish Coffee Martinis all day, live music from 7pm - 9pm, and DJ Mixer Rogers taking over from 9pm - 1am.

Yep, we put our caffeinated cocktails on special for a reason - so you've every chance of making it all the way to 2am.

Céad míle fáilte, y'all.

Before Jack had a Dead Rabbit email address, he used [email protected]. Yep, really.

Does it still work? We've no idea - but it did help to inspire this Mai Tai twist, created by our very own Chris Stanley.

As the story goes, while working at Belfast's Merchant Hotel, Jack and the team procured a bottle of Wray & Nephew 17 Year Rum to recreate Trader Vic's original 1946 recipe. That mind-bendingly expensive bottle is long gone, but we've built a rum blend that gets as close as we possibly can - El Dorado 15 yr, Rhum J.M, and Worthy Park 109.

Just add lime, orgeat, and dry curaçao for a velvety, lush, and tropical take on the classic - you’ve got mail.

Introducing our Tales of the Cocktail 2026 team - Gráinne, Aidan, Damon, and Neha.

Later this month, we’re heading to New Orleans for two events. Up first, we’re partnering with Jameson on July 22nd at 900 Camp Street.

Next, Irish House returns to 411 Bourbon Street on July 23rd - a gathering of the world’s best Irish bars, in partnership with Ireland’s finest brands, all in celebration of the Emerald Isle.

And no, we’re not talking green beer and leprechauns. We mean award-winning venues, world-class bartenders, and real Irish hospitality from across the globe - including us.

So if you're in The Big Easy, come say hello, pull up a stool, and have a drink with us. That's what we're there for.

The Dead Rabbit has always been a story of two halves.

On the ground floor, you'll find our lively Taproom, a tribute to the legendary pubs of home. And upstairs is The Parlor, defined by our ethos of Tradition Meet Tomorrow.

Here, you'll find our most experiential cocktails, served from a menu that takes six months to create, designed in Belfast and printed in Dublin. Our stools were created exclusively for us by Aoife Mulvenna, then hand-turned and finished by Abbey Upholstery in County Antrim. The artwork is distinctly modern, while the ochre tones and mossy green textiles nod to the Irish landscape, accented with hints of brass, copper, and gold.

The Parlor is the room that made The Dead Rabbit famous over a decade ago. And while guests once lined Water Street hoping for a table, we've made things a wee bit easier by opening the room up for reservations.

So if you haven't visited yet, book a table. Right, Gráinne?

Sure, America's celebrating 250 years this month, but down in Texas, we're marking two years of The Dead Rabbit Austin.

On July 4th, 2024, we opened the doors at 204 East Sixth Street - 5,000 square feet filled with 461 pieces of Irish art, lighting made in County Monaghan, custom stools crafted in Ballinhassig, playlists curated in County Derry, and countless other touches from home.

And all of that is well and good, but a bar is only ever bricks and mortar until it’s filled with people.

As with any new venture, there've been bumps along the way - challenges both expected and unforeseen, lessons learned, and plenty of growth. Because when you're building 100-year bars, you don't fear change - you embrace it.

We're thankful to every guest who's walked through our doors - regulars, first-timers, locals, and out-of-towners alike - but most of all, we're grateful to our team, who make these four walls feel like home, every single day.

Two years down. Ninety-eight to go - happy birthday, The Dead Rabbit Austin.

On July 4th, 1776, the thirteen American colonies formally declared their independence from British rule. Plenty of others have followed since - Barbados, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, Pakistan, South Africa... and, well, not quite everyone.

The Declaration of Independence was built on the idea that all people are created equal, that liberty matters, and that governments should answer to the people they serve. And for those who don't know, eight of the 56 men who signed it were of Irish heritage, with three born in Ireland. Yep, we've been here a wee while.

Among the promises made that day was one that still resonates 250 years later - that all individuals are endowed with rights that cannot be surrendered or taken away, including "Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness"

Like most great ideas, those promises have never been perfect. They've been challenged, defended, expanded, and fought for by generations determined to help the United States live up to its own ideals.

As an Irish pub built by immigrants, that's the America we've always admired. One that's constantly evolving, welcoming new voices, new traditions, and new people around the table - embracing independence, while also building community.

Happy Fourth of July.

We know as well as you do that the World Cup is the biggest sporting tournament happening right now - but it’s not the only one.

The All-Ireland Hurling and Football semi-finals begin July 4th and 5th, with the finals landing on July 19th and 26th. We'll be showing every match live in The Taproom Extension - including the early ones, so grab a stool, order a pint, and cheer on your county - the louder, the better.

Saturday 4th July, 10:30am, Hurling Semi-Final
Sunday 5th July, 11am, Hurling Semi-Final
Saturday 11th July, 1pm, Football Semi-Final
Sunday 12th July, 11am, Football Semi-Final
Sunday 19th July, 10:30am, Hurling Final
Sunday 26th July, 10:30am, Football Final

As Jake so eloquently puts it, it's been hot as f*ck. So we're keeping the AC on full blast and drinking something suitably refreshing.

Created by Kaitlyn, this Daisy-style sipper is light, vibrant, and thirst-quenching, built around the queen of fruits.

Mangosteen brings soft tropical sweetness with citrusy, peach-like notes, lifted by an apricot and thyme tincture. A touch of falernum adds spice and body, while Peychaud's bitters tie everything together.

Exactly what you want when it’s balmy… albeit with an umbrella in your bag, just incase.

On June 13th, we opened our seventh venue - The Irish Exit Atlanta.

Since then, the whole bar - including our two outdoor seating areas - has been packed from open 'til close, as soccer fans head to Mercedes-Benz Stadium and locals discover their new neighborhood pub.

A massive thank you to everyone who’s stopped by so far - for a burger, a pint, a cocktail, or just to wish us luck. The welcome Atlanta has given us has been something else.

Opening during the World Cup is a baptism of fire in the very best way, and our new team members have taken it all in their stride. We're very lucky to have them, and to be growing our family of bars.

So - Atlanta - thank you. And if you’ve not visited yet, we’re ready when you are.

Ireland is currently basking in high summer - and there are few pleasures in life as rewarding as an Irish beer garden in the sunshine, al fresco Tayto tapas, and a perfect pint of Guinness. Close our eyes, and we picture Gartlan's, Kingscourt, Co. Cavan.

For over a century, Gartlan's was a picture-perfect thatched pub, its image appearing on posters and postcards sent around the world. But the financial crash of 2008 hit hard. Last orders were called. The windows were boarded up. Before long, the famous thatch was covered in weeds.

Then one day, five years later, Sheila Smith was driving past and thought… I wonder…

Sheila and her husband, Padraig, painstakingly photographed and documented everything in the shuttered pub. They removed every knick-knack, photograph, and quirky sign, restoring each piece before returning it to exactly where it had been. They repaired the old pot-bellied stove, and re-thatched the famous roof.

And today, Gartlan's is thriving once again. Grab a table outside, stay for the live music, and bask in the wonder that is the Great Irish Pub.

When Alice Carroll moved from Ireland to Austin and founded Foxes Bow, she had a vision to disrupt dusty whiskey shelves and bring something distinctive, modern, and delicious to the market. Darren's here too.

Brittany at The Dead Rabbit TX challenged the duo to make Irish Whiskey Espresso Martinis, while chatting about their grá for whiskey, Texas, and the realities of building a brand from the ground up.

Want to know who came out on top? You'll have to watch all the way through.

We’re somehow already halfway through the year, so naturally, we’ve been arguing over our favorite Irish albums of 2026.

January kicked things off with Ailbhe Reddy’s Kiss Big, alongside brilliant releases from Ye Vagabonds and Dani Larkin. February gave us Cardinals’ long-awaited debut, plus stellar albums from Big Sleep and Rosie Carney.

March might just be the month to beat. Joshua Burnside, Foy Vance, and Chalk all dropped records that couldn’t sound more different, yet every one of them is in the Album of the Year conversation. (And yes, all three have played The Dead Rabbit in the last year. Coincidence? We think not.) Throw in Pull Like a Dog from our pals The Scratch and Curtisy releasing his third album in three years, and it was a serious month for Irish music.

The momentum hasn’t slowed either. In April and May, Dermot Kennedy, David Kitt, Glen Hansard, Mick Flannery, and Kneecap all delivered new records, while June's soundtrack has come courtesy of Loah, Dea Matrona, and HAVVK.

Safe to say Irish music's had a very good year so far. Listen to our round-up now, at the link below.

Do you know what today is? Halfway to Christmas.

Too early to start writing your lists to Santa, and definitely too early to get the tinsel down from the loft.

But counting down to Jingle Jangle? For us, the prep starts now.

While you're booking Summer holidays, slathering on SPF, and cooling down with frozen drinks, we're thinking about mulled cocktails, mince pies, and Mariah.

2026 is flying by, and before you know it, Saint Nick and the reindeer will be, too.

06/24/2026

There’s a whole world of dippable food-and-drink combos out there, and we’ll be honest - when a guest started the Churros & Pint trend at The Life of Reilly, we decided to conduct a scientific experiment of our own.

Monica's getting us started with a rating of: "F*ck no."

But sure, don't take her word for it. Try it for yourselves and let us know what you think - and more importantly, what we should test next.

Monster Munch & Martinis at ? Churros & Frozen Irish Coffee at ? Buttered Toast in a cup of Barry’s at ? Guinness & literally anything?

The research continues.

06/23/2026

Do you remember the Great Lamb Debate of 2023? Back then, we made the grievous mistake of taking our Lamb Chops off the menu.

They’d been a house favorite since day one, and we should have known better. Never again.

Our lighter Summer version features four chops marinated in Irish yogurt, lemon, and Old Bay, served with a cooling mint and yogurt dip.

Juicy, fresh, and moreish - proof that some classics are classics for a reason, and that we really do listen to our guests.

06/21/2026

Want to get your photo on our wall?

Damon’s here to show you how.

Join us for Happy Hour from 3pm - 6pm, Monday to Friday, and take on the Split the G challenge. Nail it, and not only is your pint on the house - we’ll snap your photo and add you to our Wall of Fame, alongside Split the G champions from around the world.

Think you've got what it takes? We’ll see you at the bar.
